WorkerBee74 Posted March 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Quick question I can't seem to find an answer to - is the Havana Bar open to everyone or just those with Havana rooms? I know you can't go out to to pool/deck without a wristband, but am wondering about the bar itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted March 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 26, 2022 You're free to use the bar at Havana whether or not sailing in a Havana cabin... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just can't use the Havana pool unless you have a room in the Havana area. Try the Cuban Ice tea from the Havana bar, it is awesome!

topaz123 Posted March 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2022 WE had a suite on the ship(Horizon)....not a Havana Room....they gave us bracelets that allowed us into the Havana Area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkerBee74 Posted March 26, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Thank you - seemed like no one that did a review lately has went there so I was starting to wonder if you had to have a Havana room. Much appreciate the answers, I'm definitely interested in the latin entertainment (and mojitos, of course!) Thanks for the tip on the Cuban Iced Tea @Retiredmedic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFasbender Posted March 31, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I can help clarify that you may only use the inside portion of the Havana bar. You will need a bracelet to get to the outside part of the bar. Not sure anyone would enforce this, but there is a sign saying as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the revolving door could be used, and they had a staff member at the door always checking for the bracelets. I saw a number of people get booted out.

wardwhitty Posted March 31, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The bar, drinks, music and bartenders are the best. Definitely give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray98 Posted March 31, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 31, 2022 You are free to use the inside bar which has the seating and stage. You cannot use the outside bar as it connects to the other Havana amenities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured so, we'd be interested on the 'inside' part of the bar.... I've got an 'outside' part on my balcony on deck 14 haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topaz123 Posted April 2, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 2, 2022 We had this happen twice ...both were on the HORIZON. There were two green bracelets that said HAVANA CLUB in our room when we boarded. Maybe it was for Suite Guests only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as soon as you ordered a drink there, the bartender would know you were not in a Havana cabin and that would raise a red flag that you don't belong. They usually put a sticker on your card as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possibly a suite perk on the Vista Class ships similar to the Loft 19 perk on the Mardi Gras given to those staying in the Excel Suites.

That is not our experience now on Mardi Gras. Nobody seems to be monitoring at all so we took off our bands after the first day. As mentioned, there is also a sticker on our card. At this point I would not pay significantly more for these rooms again. Although I love our cabana patio, that is about the only benefit I'm seeing. Although you supposedly can't book in this section with kids under 12, they are free to run the hallways just like any other section of the ship.
