mearsfansinboise Posted March 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I am seeing the upgrade offer for bid and wondering why I would leave what I have and go to something that *may* be a little bigger (or not) and a way smaller balcony. Is there some great reason why I should want to switch to this room? Currently in ... Room: The Haven Courtyard Penthouse with Large Balcony (HE) Total Approx. Size: 374 - 620 sq. ft. Total Approx. Balcony Size: 104 - 146 sq. ft. Upgrade to ... Room: The Haven 2-Bedroom Family Villa with Balcony (H6) Total Approx. Size: 538 sq. ft. Total Approx.

vacation44 Posted March 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I would keep what I have if it was just my husband and I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyGoldberg Posted March 13, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) A second bedroom and full bathroom can be important depending on how many are traveling together/privacy needs. The first cabin is basically a giant bedroom with a bath and a large balcony. The second cabin has a central living room where you can eat, socialize, gather outside of the bedroom. The second bedroom is tiny but fine for children or a single adult. Note: the first cabin has a bathtub so you need to step over the edge to get in to shower. I found this rather difficult on the breakaway in rough weather as there isn't much to hold onto except glass doors. The second cabin has a walk in shower in both bathrooms and I believe a jacuzzi tub as well in the primary. We like separate living spaces for breathing room, and I'm not keen on socializing in my bedroom 😉 Edited March 13, 2022 by DaisyGoldberg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mearsfansinboise Posted March 13, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted March 13, 2022 *** I should have added - it's just my daughter and I. And the room is wheelchair accessible (though we do not have/need a wheelchair) - not sure if that changes the size/layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PammyMouse Posted March 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I believe the accessible cabins are much larger. I would do a search for a video. PM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davencl Posted March 13, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 13, 2022 My wife and I love the 2 bedroom, not because of the 2 bedrooms but because the main bedroom is separate from the living area. Yes the accessible penthouse is larger but just one big room. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_sobe Posted March 13, 2022 #7 Share Posted March 13, 2022 No wheelchair but is mobility an issue? This is for Bliss? Location in the Haven is the real Haven rather than commuting all the way from the aft outside the Haven. If mobility issues are not a concern, stay with what you like. Do you like a bigger aft balcony? I prefer to stay directly in the Haven. Outside suites are Haven-light IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcony Size: 43 sq. ft We do appreciate the extra bathroom and closet space when we have a longer cruise especially! So nice to be able to shower and get ready for the evenings activities at the same time. Well worth the money to us. First time into a two bedroom it as an upgrade win. We loved it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you mean by outside suites or if that's what I've got - I'm not that in-the-know on the ships and rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed12345 Posted March 13, 2022 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Outside the Haven would be a FPH or Aft Penthouse, ect. Not in the Haven proper. We were just in an Aft Penthouse on the Encore. If was a great room with full access to the Haven, but on the very back of the ship. Kind of a hike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed12345 Posted March 14, 2022 #12 Share Posted March 14, 2022 It was good exercise, but in the Haven is more convenient. The other couple we were with had a Courtyard right off the Haven pool and were very happy with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
