Due to the texture, they're inedible for me. My husband thought the vanilla one was good and I thought they tasted ok. They just have a texture that really gets me. Same with fudge icing. I really was hoping they just served a simple chocolate chip cookie/ice cream sandwich. But, it's Haven, so gotta be fancified!

9tee2Sea Posted January 12 #110 Share Posted January 12 what did they do to the Ceaser salad? It's not supposed to be swimming in dressing. The Eggs Benedict with steak added made me laugh. Looked like someone stuck a Mister Potato Head Nose on the plate. ( the steak was the nose, eggs were eyes, and potatoes were hair). Nice to see the chefs ( or whoever plates the dish) with a sense of humor. I am now warned to ask for my dishes in the Haven to be prepared with sauces on the side. Too much sauce on the plates.

Rare cruiseny4life Posted January 12 #112 Share Posted January 12 @9tee2Sea - try these! My husband's protein breakfast plate - sauce on the side haha. You have to request the filet the day before. Crab Cake Eggs Benedict - so freaking YUMMMM (special request, so talk with restaurant manager the night before if you want it) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never again. I didn't ask for them in the Haven. I did find biscuits and gravy on the buffet when I wandered through. Sat down and had some. The gravy was very good (not great, but very good). The biscuit was...well the quality was worse than Cracker Barrel and Chik Fil A which have just mediocre biscuits. I didn't finish the biscuit. Every cruise I've tried Poached Eggs Meurette and on the last two, they weren't really edible. It's unfortunate, because on three Getaway cruises it was one of my favorite breakfast dishes. The same thing has happened to the Shrimp Toast. I couldn't even finish it on Pr1ma and had to quickly go back to the room and brush my teeth to get rid of the comingling of Shrimp Toast and coffee haha I'm jealous of your cruise!

It's so tough to get biscuits in when a roast or something else is in the oven at a different temp. The air fryer could be the answer to that timing issue. I'm kicking myself for not thinking of it.

cwn Posted January 12 #120 Share Posted January 12 We are new to the NCL , haven’t been on NCL since 1999, mostly Regent now…but with the new ship….will be on the Prima this spring in a Haven penthouse. Couple of questions for the Haven Restaurant….. is the fresh OJ free or an extra charge? What about a side of lobster trail on a dish? Is there still an extra service change/tax always added to room service for the Haven order like on the rest of the ship or is it included. And one off topic laundry question…will be on a back to back 7 days and 11 days. Will there be any laundry bag specials or is it only done as a piece by piece charge. Thanks for the pictures and all the comments very helpful, and also for any answers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have all the lobster tail you want. It's totally included! No room service fee IF you call your butler. If not, then room service will likely ask you to call your butler, but if room service (SWIFT) fulfills your order, then you will be charged. There will be at least one laundry special on each cruise, providing you an opportunity to pay $29.99 for a full bag of laundry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to know about the lobster and the room service. One more question…since we are not drinkers (alcohol and soda), I didn’t take the free at sea drink package for us. Seemed like a waste of $29 x 2 a day. Did do the rest of the FAS package though. Is the fresh OJ still no charge for the Haven breakfast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the fresh OJ still no charge for the Haven breakfast? I'm honestly not sure. I think they would probably still provide fresh OJ to you. They did provide it to me when I had no package and my husband had the soda package. That was in September, 2022 and there have been many changes since then. On subsequent cruises we both had the Free at Sea drink package, so I can't give you more updated information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
