Oh my.  I think her crazy azz is what went viral!

Glad you had a good trip.  Thanks for taking us along with you!  Safe travels home.

Security…follow me to the Local and show me where you fell.  OK!  

 

We get there.  Security asks the manager if he knew of the incident-NO!

 

Asks me which NCL personnel I spoke to-I don’t know…we interfaced for a few seconds, mostly while I was on the floor!

 

I ask Security for a copy of whatever report he fills out and a copy of the medical report.

 

Maybe something…maybe nothing!  But, I don’t want any surprises showing up on my credit card!

Well that’s a sucky NCL response all the way around.  Hope it doesn’t slow you down.

For a first, the balcony furniture is actually comfortable!  Overlooking the pool people from the balcony….entertaining in its own right!

Is this looking down on the regular pool or haven area?

Happy Boarding day!  Can’t wait to follow along!

Have a great time!

Here's a few lines that allow pets! I was looking into this the other day as I was at work missing my pups and wanting to cruise. I haven't ever booked on any of these, so have no clue if they're good or not.

Hmm, that doesn’t look too promising for the pups!  If they can’t pile up on the bed, I don’t think that’s what they would be looking for!  😂😂

Brothers from the same litter.

Beau is the one on the left.

Andy is the one on the right.

The wife is already having withdrawals missing  the boys and she hasn't even taken them to the kennel yet.  They share the bed with us.

Rommel and Maria?

Both sound familiar.  

I wonder if they were on our last breakaway cruise in March 2023?

We need a cruise line that lets us bring our dogs!  We hate being away from ours!

Have a safe flight!  

Following along. We will be on Breakaway in March. Have a great time. 
 

How did you like GW Fins?

I think it just depends on what your needs are and what is important to you. We have stayed in a forward Haven suite 3 times and have a 4th one booked for March. Just like @BirdTravelsstated, we like the extra space and the separate bedroom and the long walk doesn’t bother us. We take our grandson so that’s another reason we like the extra space. We aren’t balcony dwellers so the small balcony space in the forward is fine for us. We also don’t need much from the butler so that is not an issue either. We’ve spent plenty of time enjoying the Haven amenities and don’t think we’ve missed anything not being in the Haven proper.

We have been on both, cabins inside and outside of Haven. Service depends much more on who your butler and room attendant are than the location of the cabin.

Agree.

Bourbons....I know they have Buffalo Trace (my preferred bourbon) and 1792 (like it, too).  They have Woodford, which is extra charge.  I wouldn't pay more for Woodford, ever.

 

I also found if you. tell them what you want, they'll make it.  But, the Haven doesn't have "drink of the day" (DOTD) like they do at the pool bars.  Those are mostly pre-mixed, anyway.

The Haven does a great smoked Old Fashion. 

 Looks like some excited cruisers eager to board.  Sailing along with you!  Have a great time!   Haven’t pulled the trigger on Icon yet but find myself pricing it out often!

Any updates or info regarding current situation with parking in the whale lot?  I know there were issues with break-ins in early 2023. We ended up parking in the Fulton Garage in March 2023 but it was a nightmare getting into the garage on sail date, traffic was at a standstill due to all of the cars trying to get into the garage. The Whale lot is so much easier as long as it is safe. 

The internet is Starlink and was excellent when we were on there March 2023. Nothing like it use to be pre-Starlink. 

Another vote for Louie Bossi, food and atmosphere are great. 

Can someone remind me what the age limit is on the Haven Sun Deck?

I’ve also heard many people tip the kid’s club staff also. Anyone with recommendations / input on when, who, and how much if we use it daily?

I will be there in March with my daughter. How was the atmosphere? Safe to go on our own? How was the water and will we need water shoes for rocks etc… Thank you so much.

My husband and I did this in our own, we felt safe and the atmosphere was good from our experience. Everyone was friendly. We did not need water shoes and the beach was great. 

Thanks for taking us along Sid!  Glad you had a great time!  Safe travels. 

Just getting caught up!!  Ready for the next leg. Happy sailing and have a safe voyage. Love the pink map dress btw.
 

Thanks for taking us with you!

Glad to hear you made Charla!  Have a wonderful trip!

Following along, I’ve never been on Celebrity or MSC and excited to hear about a comparison. Long time cruiser on NCL and RCL. Have a great time and thanks for taking us with you!

Thanks for letting us come along!!  Great live review!

I also have trouble all the time getting email confirmations after booking online but not when I book via an RCL cruise consultant.
