Funny...years ago on "Carnival Legend" we got a 2 room aft balcony for almost the same price as a regular balcony. It was a huge wrap around balcony that you could have a party on. I couldn't believe it. It had 2 rooms and a jacuzzi tub. We loved it. I am betting that cabin sells for a lot more than we can afford now. 

Yes that room is still there and I think I would have liked it more, but the GS was the room my mom wanted. There were some issues like she rented a scooter and we didn’t know how well it would maneuver in the enclosed spaces, where the GS was easy as it is one open room roughly the size of two balcony cabins. I am glad you loved the corner room/suite.

So the Haven bartenders created 2 Ranger  Win drinks. One was Red, White n Blue - the other Red and white. Both made with vodka and both were awesome!

Unfortunately, it’s currently not looking good for the Blueshirts, down 4-0.

It would be helpful if you labeled food items.  It's not always clear what they are.

Wow

@Sailing12Away A few other things about this suite:

- The walls in the bedroom creek. Bring earplugs or headphones. It gets loud as the seas get rough.

- There are no shelves in the shower.
- There are very few storage areas in the bathroom or suite 

- There are no tissues in the bathroom

- There are very few towel racks 

- The bed and the sofa bed are comfortable.

- The TV pulls out from the wall which is nice.

- The room could use more storage and hooks

- The closets are not large. I’m using the one in the hallway and DH is using the one in the bedroom.

 

The ship is beautiful. We love the decor. The Haven is top notch!

 

I’ll keep you updated as we explore and learn more. 😀

 

I really didn't mention anything about the creaking when we sailed.  We were in an OS on 12 and while seas were not crazy, I've never been in such a creaky room.

 

Guessing you paid close to $20,000 for room yet they want to cheap out $20 bucks on included perks.

[HBCcruiser]

Prior to dinner they held the Captain’s cocktail party. The Captain is really nice! He lives in Santa Barbara, CA! Who knew?! He said the winds are 25+ MPH and the swells are between 15-20 feet. We were definitely rocking last night. They cancelled the show but are moving it to tonight.

@HBCcruiser Thank you for sharing all this - I'm enjoying following along. You mentioned it was quite busy on the first day - how are you finding the crowds now? Have people worked out how to comfortably spread themselves across restaurants and bars?

Indulge, The Local and the buffet are crowded during peak times. Some bars are more crowded than others. The Haven is never crowded.

[HBCcruiser]

Loved the go carts except for the slow drivers.🙄

 

[HBCcruiser]

Haven lunch. Everything else too crowded.

 

 

Mushroom flatbread 

[HBCcruiser]

Mozzarella and prosciutto plate. All good 10/10 forks.

Who is the bartender at Metropolitan now? The Cowboy ( Clarence ) was there last year but we heard he was moving to the Viva.  We loved that bar.

Mudslide - and my foot is bruised but hip is ok. Luckily I fell correctly and didn’t do major damage. These decks get very slippery when wet. Thanks for asking. 🐀🤗

You look awesome, girl! Love the Captain's cocktail party.

Thanks for the great live report @HBCcruiser.  I'm finally getting caught up after my cruise.  Looking forward to more! 😎

I love those little deviled eggs, I must have had them 7 times on our PC cruise.  :)  Enjoy!!!
