CruzinMel Posted May 29, 2016 #26 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) I would book this exact same room again if that puts your mind at ease! In a heart beat! It was not anything that was disruptive to us at least! I just read your review - nicely done! DH and I were in 18104 the week before you (we had Mari Beth as our steward) and I really noticed the noise from the deck chairs some nights - not every night, but enough to be a minor annoyance. That said, the Haven is amazing and that room is just beautiful! OP, I'm looking forward to more of your review!

irishgal432 Posted May 29, 2016 #29 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I have never been or NCL, but sail in Suite on Oasis and am thinking about giving the Haven a try. Are there complimentary beverages during happy hour like on RCCL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFan Posted May 29, 2016 Author #30 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I have never been or NCL, but sail in Suite on Oasis and am thinking about giving the Haven a try. Are there complimentary beverages during happy hour like on RCCL? Yes there is a suite room that has free drinks and appetizers for suite guests. It was very nice and we always used it before we went to dinner. There were a few times we left during dinner for a "bathroom" break and came back with full glasses of wine... But it is not like Norwegian where every bar is a "suite" bar with UDP. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFan Posted May 29, 2016 Author #31 Share Posted May 29, 2016 On the deck chair noise I am happy to report there was none whatsoever. I am betting they figured out how to do it quietly. Arnie is our butler and he has been great. Absolutely spoiling us.. And a first night penguin..

RushFan Posted May 29, 2016 Author #32 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Food republic cooking demonstration... Now they can show me what I can't do.. Venue is fine but it's packed downstairs so we went up a level.... It's basically Asian fusion with Latin America.

RushFan Posted May 29, 2016 Author #35 Share Posted May 29, 2016 A quick note on the Internet. Unlimited is $209 the first day... I say wait until day 2 when it drops to $175 ish. I mean you already have cell wifi in port probably... Then you can just wait 12 hours and it drops $30.. This is again why I stay anonymous as I am sure NCL would frown on this knowledge.. Don't wait until day 3 as unlimited is gone after day 2.. It is slow right now but by July it is promised to be more like land speed...

Two Wheels Only Posted May 29, 2016 #36 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) That panel in the Haven roof is still cracked? I thought that they fixed it (seeing your earlier photo). :confused: No worries since it is still operational but I wonder when they'll fix it.

RushFan Posted May 29, 2016 Author #38 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I know I promised not too much food but it is really exceptional. We went to food republic and it was very good as well. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFan Posted May 29, 2016 Author #39 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Ok let's talk jogging track... Basically this is a letdown. 8 loops for a mile and very narrow. They put out huge yellow caution signs that warn for slippery when wet and basically you are playing slolam (sp) between the cones and people in flip flops that are really there to challenge runners or speed walkers... It's get out there before 7 or maybe find a treadmill but Oasis track has this one crushed hands down... I know it's not make or break for most people but I thought it was worth a mention... I will post photos of it in a bit.. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colecandler Posted May 29, 2016 #41 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Hey RushFan....think it was one year ago last week that me and the DW went to Greensboro to see Rush on their farewell tour. Our very first date was to a Rush concert in 1988 (Hold Your Fire tour) and we will be celebrating our 25th anniversary on Escape in The Haven on July 2nd. Looking forward to the rest of your review and pictures. Have a great time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted May 29, 2016 #43 Share Posted May 29, 2016 If you like exotic adult beverages, ask Marc at the Haven Bar to make you a "Smoke and Fire"... I've never been fortunate enough to stay in the Haven, but was invited up for the Captains reception and spent the whole time at the bar indulging in their master mixology...

RushFan Posted May 29, 2016 Author #44 Share Posted May 29, 2016 The ropes course is a blast... The upper section was closed but the plank was open. When you turn you can pull the line and it takes your photo... Yes you have to pay to get it... There is also a kids rope course for 48" And under that the parents can take them around at near ground level... It zip line but the parents have to push a bit...

RushFan Posted May 29, 2016 Author #45 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Gambee had a great shot of the Atrium chandelier. It changes color but I was not going to stand and wait for it so I sped up the process... The photo may have been digitally altered... Funny but most people on this cruise seem to be chemically altered at this point... Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbyrd72 Posted May 29, 2016 #47 Share Posted May 29, 2016 If you go to Moderno, can you take a pic of the dessert menu? We are looking for the name of the banana tart they have. It was fabulous.

calicruising Posted May 29, 2016 #48 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I am excited to follow your review since I have 3 cabins booked for clients on your sailing AND I was informed that the window in the Master Bedroom is broken and will not be replaced in time for sailing. It would be cool if it turned out that THIS was the window in my clients Villa!! Happy Sailing:) Some Spa pics.. We added the Mandara spa for $199. It's $209 if you don't prepay.. For the Haven peeps there is a Sauna at the back of the pool in the Haven... We did not know that. Haven Sauna The snow room was broke a few weeks back but it is plenty cold now and yes it snowed about 6" overnight... Skis will not fit btw... Ship was broke already. Replacing glass in port..

RushFan Posted May 29, 2016 Author #50 Share Posted May 29, 2016 We also did the "family pizza making". Thinking it was like from how to make dough etc.. It was just put your own toppings on pre made semi frozen crust and cook it and eat it... Would skip that one next time... Decorating cupcakes on Oasis was better but this was free so I should have figured it.. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
