The NCL Haven Luxury VIP Experience "Secrets" REVISED for 2022
Laszlo replied to Sthrngary's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I should know this but I don't. Does the Haven Restaurant (Getaway) take reservations? -
A quick edit / add. I had originally booked and paid for Vibe passes 2-3 months ago when you could get them online. Since we are now booked in the Haven I canceled them. I must have spoke to 5 different people at NCL customer service. First person said I had to go thru my TA, second person didn't know how. I'm not sure about the third or forth, I got transferred to managers who never picked up. I finally go to someone who said no problem. Within 10 seconds it was done, at least it's not on my reservation anymore. Hopefully in 7-10 days my CC will get the refund

Have great trip.... Fixed

Not quite "Live" yet, going to attempt to do a live review if my enthusiasm holds up.... 67 days to go We booked this 12 day cruise about a year ago after our friends had said they were booking. We all booked Spa Balconies, actually right next to each other. Fast forward a bunch of months, final payment is done and we get an offer to put in some bids which I do. About a month after putting our bids in and tweaking the numbers I notice the price for Haven Cabins are dropping. No surprise as their were a lot of Haven cabins still available. Middle of last week I sent our TA and email asking to give me a quote on a Haven Spa Balcony. They are one of the cheapest Haven Cabins, I get the quote back and its about $600 cheaper than my max bid on the same cabin in the "Good" range. So at this point it's a no brainer, they're are only two Haven Spa Cabins left and I grab the one on the port side. I had a budget going into the cruise and it seems to be holding. Going into the cruise we knew we wanted Thermal Spa passes, it seems to always work out its cheaper to book a Spa Balcony than get a regular balcony and add on the passes later. At this point we are 50% checked in, two NCL excursions booked and one Non NCL excursion booked and a handful of dinner reservations made. These were all done prior to getting the Haven Cabin. This will be our 12th NCL cruise and our second time in the Haven. Personally I would rather be sailing on one of the Jewel Class ships since they are our favorites but we wanted to do a 12-14 day and nothing really lined up. This will be our 5th time sailing out of NYC. We live about 90 minutes from the pier so for us its much easier than flying anywhere. Another big advantage is really don' have to worry about baggage weight. I tend to bring a fair amount of camera gear and snorkeling equipment. I just got a new mask with "Readers" in them I can't wait to use. I also got a underwater scooter. Our goal for the cruise is beaches and snorkeling. I'm really excited about our excursion in Barbados. I booked a 5 hour catamaran sail with "Silver Moon Barbados". The reviews for them are stellar. We had booked with them in 2018 for our 14 day cruise on the BA, however due to a hurricane our itinerary really got changed and Barbados was dropped. I typical shoot a fair amount of photos and videos while traveling, I've promised my wife I will try to hold back some on this trip. I will be using a new GoPro 11, DJI Action and Pocket Cameras along with one of my trusty Nikon underwater cameras. Links to my equipment here...

Our January 8th sailing on the GA is suppose to stop. I hope we miss it, would rather spend another day in St Thomas or GSC Lol

Spicy mustard? Hell no.... My wife and I go here once a year. I said Uncle this past May.... the price was $32 for a simple lobster roll. https://www.lobster-shack.com

You might have answered this before but I forget. If you are in the Haven do you still need to select an arrival time? This would be for NYC

Ditto My wife and I have been in the thermal spa a bunch of times. It can get loud, its not supposed to but it can. Its supposed to be a quite place, for most people it is.

For anyone who has stayed on the Getaway in a Haven Spa Cabin...... Are their power outlets either 110 or USB by the bed or nightstands? Thanks -
