labehnen Posted September 30, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Hello all - I'm a little over 50 days away from my Escape cruise (11/20). We're staying in the Haven and I haven't received an email or letter from the Concierge. Should I be concerned the cruise will get canceled. Or are other cruisers experiencing delays in communications? Have any November 2021 Escape Haven guests received their welcome letter? Thanks - safe sailing to all!

Did you book the cruise yourself or through a travel agent? I got the concierge letter along with all my confirmation materials from my TA after final payment.

labehnen Posted September 30, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Thank you for the comment. I booked through a TA and paid in full Sunday, September 12th. I'll follow up with him. Are you traveling on Nov 20th too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiservictor Posted September 30, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2021 We generally get the Haven letter with the luggage tags about a month before sailing. So I wouldn’t be concerned if I hadn’t gotten the mailing for a November 20 sailing yet. Give it a few more weeks. And we booked with a TA. The letter and tags used to be mailed to the TA, but for the last several cruises, they have been sent directly to us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sthrngary Posted September 30, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Not the first time this topic has come up. Look at the #2 post from @Laszlo. This is why knowing what you get as amenities in the Haven is so important. 130 prior to my cruise which is on November 27, 2021; I reached out to the contacts that @Laszlomentioned. Haven guest can pre-reserve days, times and specialty restaurant at 130 days out. I did and they immediately showed up on my online NCL Summary page. Below I will attached two document that every Haven Guest should have. One says for the NCL Joy and is a break down of amenities for each stateroom including Haven. This is a template and is used for most every NCL ship. The other is a Haven letter. I have never gotten the US Mail Haven Letter until 30-45 days prior to the cruise. Being during covid-19, I am not sure when or if that will show up. I hope it helps everyone from this point forward. Cruise well everyone.

roger001 Posted September 30, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I booked a Haven 2 days ago, 70 day out. I got the welcome email with the concierge info today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted September 30, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Question. Reading the Haven Welcome aboard letter, it implies that the room can be stocked with various choices of liquor and also selected soft drinks, like Diet Pepsi. Are these items like no charge? Unlimited Diet Pepsi available in room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always got our suites letter and bag tags almost exactly 50 days prior to cruise. We have seen NCL sending luggage tags out to more people than just suites lately (outside of Alaska where they always send tags to everyone departing from Seattle), so I am not sure if that is contributing to congestion in their mailings.

American Express Platinum Card Benefit? If you dont mind sharing your expertise? @greatestvalue, I did not see that so I will comment here. I traveled internationally for over 37 years. You learn how to maximize your travel, value and yes perks over that time. You also learn to research all your credit card amenities will give you. Remember when my wife bought a "Coach Purse" and it got stolen three weeks later. American Express Platinum replaced the purse. That got me thinking. What else does it provide besides "Points" to buy things like most other cards. That is where Cruises came in. Not lets all remember, the more expensive your stateroom, the more perks you get. When I am in a Haven Suite on NCL, I usually get $300.00 additional onboard credits plus dinner for two in the French Restaurant. With my recent Crystal Voyage, I got $500.00 of onboard credits which really was $250.00 net. Crystal was providing $250.00 on their own but that was not combinable with the AMX perk. I also had to cancel a recent cruise due to my wife getting "Break Through" Covid. My travel insurance handled most but AMX kicked in an additional $200.00 that the insurance company did not pay. AMX like many other credit cards does have Trip Cancellation and Interruption benefits. My advise to everyone is to read the benefits you cards have and leverage them. It is fun research and can really help you in the future. Cruise well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This "Welcome to the Haven" letter was sent to me. I am in an (H2) Deluxe Owners Suite on the Joy. These (H1, H2, H4 ect) suites get extra amenities which the letter shows. I apologize to anyone confused for not realizing this sooner. Cruise Well everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is the Haven Guests at 117 days out will have priority on the Reservations. Especially since many cruises are only at 60% capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
