Sam The Cat Posted September 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I am sailing on the Gem in 2015 and am wondering if upgrading to the Haven is worth $1000. There are only two of us and we have always sailed in a suite even an up sell to the Owners Suite on the Spirit. So my questions is upsell to the Haven worth $1000 for a 9 day cruise Thinking it as a surprise to my GF knowing that we may never go back to a regular suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my questions is upsell to the Haven worth $1000 for a 9 day cruise Thinking it as a surprise to my GF knowing that we may never go back to a regular suite Remember that a haven suite means you will have a Butler, Courtyard Valet, Courtyard Attendant, Haven Steward and Concierge that you will likely want to tip for their excellent service. Factor that in your cost decision. There are probably 1000s of threads on tipping that you can research if you have questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubechick Posted September 17, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2013 For myself, $1,000 difference between a regular suite and a Haven suite is not worth it. I don't care for the "indoor pool" atmosphere of the Jewel class Havens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngestof9 Posted September 17, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 17, 2013 For myself, $1,000 difference between a regular suite and a Haven suite is not worth it. I don't care for the "indoor pool" atmosphere of the Jewel class Havens. This I can't tell if OP is already booked in a suite and is spending $1000 to get into the haven or if in a regular room and upgrading. If you're already in a real suite (not a mini-suite), I wouldn't spend the money. There's no private restaurant and the haven on jewel class is small. You'll still get butler, concierge and breakfast and lunch in Cagney's. So no, if you're already in a suite, I don't think the haven is worth it. If you're in a balcony or below, heck yeah. We sailed in a 2 bedroom, non-Haven suite on Gem. It was excellent and really got all the perks but the private pool area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam The Cat Posted September 17, 2013 Author #12 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks for all of your input. I am staying where we are I am already in a suite ( a actual suite) on floor 10 I will lose 150 OBC and the cost is $1600 more. I was going to to the Haven due to the fact that she was I think would be retiring the Dec before the cruise which she still may do but the extra cost and lost of 150 OBC not worth it We should be going to a cocktail party there so that will be enough until the next time Thanks again to you all for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsak123 Posted September 18, 2013 #13 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I though you mentioned it would only be $1000 I think it is still worth the $1600 for both of you to stay in the Haven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam The Cat Posted September 18, 2013 Author #14 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Booked the Haven today after much thinking and telling my traveling compainion that I was not going spend the money. Still have mixed feeling but this will be her retirement present since we went on the Spirit in the owner's suite whenI decided to retire but I am not telling her It was 1600 more less 250 that I already paid for my reservation for the suite that I had previously reserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise_More_Often Posted September 18, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I don't think you'll regret it for a moment! When I daydream about cruising, it's always about one of the two times we cruised in a Haven suite aboard the Jewel. Ahhhhhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
