Rare wolft927 Posted June 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) So My wife and I have been fortunate to win bids on the Forward facing haven suite and the 2 bedroom haven suite both on the Breakaway. We got our kids the courtyard Penthouse haven last cruise as well. I should be able to start bidding for our September cruise on saturday and was looking for opinions on which haven suite we should bid heavier on next? I am leaning towards the aft facing haven but really like being in the haven itself…. Let’s see what everyone thinks oh yea next cruise is on the Getaway Edited June 9, 2022 by wolft927 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psac Posted June 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2022 We’re big fans of being in the Haven area itself. Super convenient to just go back to the room if you want to grab something or whatever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sailing12Away Posted June 10, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I didn't care for the aft room on the Encore. The room itself was huge and the balcony one of the best we've had, but we were too far from the actual Haven area for our liking. Lots of vibrations that we weren't used to, so for us we'll be avoiding aft rooms until we're on Prima when we'll give it another try because, well, you have to if you want to be in Haven. Any room that gives you an extra potty is a win in my book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
complawyer Posted June 10, 2022 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2022 we're always happy with the 2 bedroom. the extra bathroom is a terrific benefit, even if there are only 2 of us sailing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am leaning towards the aft facing haven but really like being in the haven itself…. Let’s see what everyone thinks We had one of the forward facing suites on Breakaway this last march. The balcony was unusable for most of the time the ship was underway due to high winds. In fact, twice the crew entered our cabin to tie down all the furniture on the balcony. Neither time were we notified of their entry. Once we were asleep when this happened. We will never again book a forward facing room. FWIW, we do have another Haven suite booked for next march on Breakaway. It is an aft facing suite. We consider having a useful balcony to be worth walking to the haven. The side facing balconies in the haven are simply too small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so nice to have the extra closet space as well as the other bathroom so that getting ready there is no deciding who goes first! We bid and won an Owners Suite while cruising the Mediterranean and it was a total waste of money since that cruise was so "port heavy", we truly just slept in the cabin. The only ship that we would like to stay in a top tier cabin is on NCL Prima, I like the idea of having our own private hot tub on the balcony😊.

Rare JGmf Posted June 10, 2022 #9 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Stayed in forward, aft, and courtyard in Haven on many ships. Enjoyed the aft the best for room and balcony size. Being away from the Haven "bubble", for us, was a good thing: got minimal exercise for the walk (really people, it's not that far away!) and got to get away from the same people around you 24/7.

Ottawa Lynne Posted June 10, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 10, 2022 We love the aft balconies. We've never had a problem with vibration or soot though. The large balcony makes it for us. The downside is that we spend all our time on the balcony and no time meeting new friends in the Haven proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
