I was on the Joy in the Haven this past Oct. My bed literally shook all nite. Not from the waves of the ocean, but literally up and down shaking me. I called guest services on the third day in tears because I hadn’t slept in three days. My butler also checked the bed and couldn’t believe how much it shaking. At 2 in the morning an assistant GM came to my room with my butler & walked me in my robe & slippers to a balcony room on deck 9. I slept there that nite. Next morning went back to my room , shower & change go eat. I come back to my room. The concierge explained to me that somehow the mattress was off the frame and that’s why it was shaking so badly. He and the butler were able to pick up the mattress and put it back onto the frame, they credited my account for any expenses during the cruise and that was that.

Can I ask which hotel in Sorrento you stayed. I’m staying there after my cruise. TIA

Are you doing Escape April 2024 to Rome

I never thought you could have a bad haven room. I was proven wrong however when I went from deck 14 haven to deck 18 haven. It was below hot tubs. And below Vibe. I won’t ever do upgrade again. This was my first time upgrading. Wish I had stayed on 14.

I drink a half gallon a day. I love this.

I’m in CT leaves aren’t changing at all. Maybe 2-3 weeks. I’m on this cruise Oct 12th. I never do 7day cruises anymore too quick. This is my first 10day. Thank you for your posts.

You forgot to showcase this part. Concierge & butler are NOT part of DSC. If your in Haven then you have access to these services.

Tipping for butler varies. Some say for 7day cruise $10-15pp a day. Concierge I usually give between $25-50 for a 7day cruise. Depending on how much they help me could be more. I would never not tip them tho

1. What appealed to us was the REAL private 2nd bed and bath for them, the larger balcony and the Haven amenities. I couldn’t find a better deal for 2 cabins in the Haven andreally didn’t want to share a bath and/or have the living room sofa fold out each evening in one of the other “reasonable” Haven options that can accommodate 4. the balcony is nice & big but, part of the Haven is having all the outside area to enjoy. This makes balcony size not such a big deal to us. I understand beds in 2bdrm have drawers on bottom of bed. So where does your luggage go? The smaller bedroom seems like it’s all bed. Every time someone goes in or out room you’ll hear them. I enjoy having the full bed I just wish they had extend the kids bed out a little. Plus where the cawfee pot is, is just weird.

I am so surprised at the set up of the 2bdrm. That coffee situation is not very sensible either. When are you on? We don’t sail till June 2023

I saw this early on & changed to deck 14. I hope there will be changes on Viva.

So why post it here if it was MSC?

Your butler does not escort you to dinner or off the ship. I think you confused butler & concierge

That is what my gf & I do. I usually have the bigger bedroom & bath. But she gets it this time. She’s going to be a little sad about it. It is perfect for families tho. I saw the owners suite with 2nd bed but most suites on my sailing were sold out.

Just watched 2bdrm Haven on YouTube. I’m underwhelmed. I’ve stayed in 2bdrm many times before & this seems so small. I don’t see a vanity area with hairdryer & mirror separate sitting area. Living area is small too. Hoping more videos are going to be posted soon.

Our captain told us at the meet & greet. It was a great cruise

I was on Getaway TA in April only 1400 passengers. It was great no lines, great service, elevators empty. Don’t know what I’ll do when it fills up again. Though sadly casino was mostly empty. I’ll be on Joy in October don’t expect it to be at full capacity.

You are right. I read it quickly. I’m just excited to get it🥳

One year from the date of the e-mail NCL sends you. The e-mail tells you how much the FCC is too

What is that first drink? Btw can you please let me know what all those great looking drinks are? Thanks

I received $600 in FCC today as my cruise in Oct finally went down lower than I paid. You have one year to use it from date of issue.

I’ve been to Halifax many times & I love walking the pier. I shop a little & go to some of the great restaurants that line the pier. I was there back in April. Can’t wait to go back. Never been to Peggy’s cove.

My cruise is literally twice as much as when I booked in early 2021

I’m 42 days away from my cruise. This is first time I haven’t received email yet or luggage tags. Guess I’ll call this week

Make sure you watch ship come into port. There is a beautiful church & view there
