apietros Posted June 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hi friends! I read on another forum that the Haven sundeck does not allow children anymore. I kind of don’t believe this — does anyone know?? TIA!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had my son with my on the sundeck, so I’m not sure this is true. Or maybe he was just laying, reading a book or playing Uno with me so no one said anything?

Two Wheels Only Posted June 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The Haven was developed for families. No part of the Haven is adult-only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apietros Posted June 18, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The Haven was developed for families. No part of the Haven is adult-only. That’s what I thought - thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodesthemoose Posted June 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The Haven was developed for families. No part of the Haven is adult-only. I read the same announcement as the OP did, posted by a travel agent. But TWO, question for you - we'll be on the Epic. Is the Haven-adults-only sundeck on the Epic the Posh beach club, whereas the 'regular' Haven sundeck is for everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Haven-adults-only sundeck on the Epic the Posh beach club, whereas the 'regular' Haven sundeck is for everyone? I’ve never been on Epic, but have been in Breakaway and Escape Haven’s a total of 5 times and I’ve never had any issues with my son being anywhere in the Haven. I truly hope this is not a new policy.

Two Wheels Only Posted June 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Is the Haven-adults-only sundeck on the Epic the Posh beach club, whereas the 'regular' Haven sundeck is for everyone? Correct. Epic has POSH (adult-only and included with Haven) while Escape has VIBE (adult-only and not included with Haven). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted June 18, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Just got back yesterday. Never saw any signs of adults only on the upper or outer sundeck areas. Very front section of outer area is smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apietros Posted June 18, 2018 Author #11 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I just called concierge - they said this is not true and children are allowed in all areas of the Haven. They actually laughed when I said I had read it on a forum online! Phew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexandNessa Posted June 18, 2018 #12 Share Posted June 18, 2018 My understanding is that this is for Escape only and was just implemented today (effective immediately). Shoreside concierge wouldn't necessarily know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the sundeck and not pool area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letsgo 2 Posted June 18, 2018 #16 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Hi friends! I read on another forum that the Haven sundeck does not allow children anymore. I kind of don’t believe this — does anyone know?? TIA!! Sent from my iPhone using Forums I thought the Haven Sun deck was alway 18 and over , the Haven Court yard is for families too, but not 100% sure. I know that H2o is adult only during the day and has signs posted , ( Getaway and Breakaway) I'm assuming the Escape is the same, but that wasn't the question :) but just like any other rule I'm sure its not being enforced.

Rare BirdTravels Posted June 18, 2018 #17 Share Posted June 18, 2018 TWO, question for you - we'll be on the Epic. Is the Haven-adults-only sundeck on the Epic the Posh beach club, whereas the 'regular' Haven sundeck is for everyone? Half and half. The Posh Club is adults only. There is no “regular” Haven sundeck on the Epic other than the Posh Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmermaid Posted June 18, 2018 #18 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Left the Escape yesterday. Our butler did mention that the next cruise had alot of children coming aboard the haven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodesthemoose Posted June 18, 2018 #19 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Half and half. The Posh Club is adults only. There is no “regular” Haven sundeck on the Epic other than the Posh Club. Thanks very much. I think the deck plans are confusing me because there seem to be four areas on deck 18... they say "sundeck" (very front), "courtyard sundeck" (tiny, looks like it might overlook the Haven courtyard), public sundeck (on port and starboard sides) and Posh.

jimandami Posted June 18, 2018 #20 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Someone on the NCL Haven FB group posted a picture of the new signage for the sundeck and it states reserved for guests 16+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Wheels Only Posted June 19, 2018 #23 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I'm both surprised and disappointed. I recommended that part of the Bliss sundeck (starboard side) be adult-only since that's the side where VIBE is and that the port side could be all ages with a wall/door separating the two halves. The Bliss Haven sundeck is much larger than Escape's. To do it on Escape without warning is....typical NCL, I guess. If they made it 18+, then NCL might as well open the door between the Haven sundeck and VIBE. Strange....:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trumpetfish55 Posted June 19, 2018 #24 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Last week I witnessed one hot tub filled with young boys. The other hot tub had a group of kids taking turns jumping in from the side and an attendant standing next to it with a big squeegee broom cleaning up the water each time a kid took a turn. Earlier that day a toddler was in that same hot tub. A few days before kids jumping from lounger to lounger in the shallow part (so dangerous in my opinion). Something guests should know before spending the money for the Haven. The courtyard area was great if you have kids - if you don’t have kids the area in my opinion was unusable most of the week. Can an adult really get in a hot tub with someone else’s kids? In my opinion no. As long as I know this before I book I’m fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
