ncklhaus Posted January 23, 2016 Author #76 Share Posted January 23, 2016 And what can I say about the Living Room. There was a couch and chair with a coffee table and a few funky ottomans. A dining table with 4 chairs. They still had the Lavazza coffee maker I had heard so much about. The mini fridge was stocked with waters, sodas, beer and booze. We kept it in there and also added our own waters as well. This is the Living Room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncklhaus Posted January 23, 2016 Author #79 Share Posted January 23, 2016 And the second bedroom. Melissa loved it. There is a couch that turns into a bed and also a Pullman bed that drops down from the ceiling. We asked our room steward Ven if he would mind setting up both beds so she could try and see if she liked the top bunk. Last cruise she tried it once and was back in the bottom bunk in 20 minutes.

We were down the hall from you, in 15112. Also had Ven and Flor taking care of us. So...which bed did Melissa prefer? Or did she mix it up depending on how she felt that day :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncklhaus Posted January 24, 2016 Author #84 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Following your fabulous review. And so happy to know you are feeling well. We will be on the Breakaway in August in the Haven. What was your room number? The pictures are terrific. And I see from your posting that you live in my home town, although I haven't lived there in many years. Can't wait to read more of your review! Aw thanks for the kind words. What part of Valley Stream were you from? North, Central, or South. I'm in South, right near Green Acres. We were in room 15104. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise4family Posted January 24, 2016 #85 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I lived in Central Valley Stream, not far from Elmont. And I frequented Green Acres often. Your pictures are great. We were on the Breakaway to Bermuda last June. We liked it so much, we booked the same trip for this August, but this time in the Haven. We're in an aft Haven suite (there are 4 of us).

tawaik Posted January 24, 2016 #93 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Thank you everyone for all of your kind words. I have to say you put tears in my eyes. I'm such a sap. LOL.I will try and respond to everyone's comments in the future. And now, without further ado, I shall begin our cruise saga. :D Im so thankful to you for sharing your story which gives me sooo much hope To top it all off, you have a great way of telling your story. I thank you a thousnd times :-) Can you please tell me where you purchased the protective fancy head gear that was used during treatments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncklhaus Posted January 24, 2016 Author #94 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Im so thankful to you for sharing your story which gives me sooo much hope To top it all off, you have a great way of telling your story. I thank you a thousnd times :-) Can you please tell me where you purchased the protective fancy head gear that was used during treatments? I used a company called Penguin Cold Caps. You rent the caps for the duration of your treatment. It was $580 per month with a $500 security deposit. I received my caps in October and returned them in December. You get 14 caps and they need to be changed every 30 minutes. It is not covered by insurance, but during my last treatment another type of cold cap received FDA approval. So, maybe they will be soon. If you are asking about them because you need chemo, I wish you the best of luck. Attitude counts A LOT in how you handle it, so keep positive.

So afraid of the side effects I was diagnosed early and thankful that I listened my body. My medical journey began Nov 3, 2015. Had surgery Dec 16 and spent the holidays recovering. Every day I count my blessings and doing my best to kick the "C" out of my life. In the mean time, I will do my best to stay strong. Thank You for your kind words of encouragement and the infomation about the cap Edited January 24, 2016 by tawaik typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondGirl83 Posted January 24, 2016 #96 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Following your review as I'm thinking about this itinerary for next year. Can i ask when after leaving new York did you see the sun/feel the heat? Was there a sail away party? Thanks Edited January 24, 2016 by DiamondGirl83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a sail away party? Thanks Yes, there was a sailaway party. We went to the one on the Haven sun deck. It was chilly but not unbearable. Those pictures are coming up soon. By the first morning people were out getting sun, in the pools and hot tubs, and were using the ropes course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
