I don't think I would ever leave the room or at least that floor. Talk about a vacation, everything you want and need at your fingertips. The views look amazing, so do the snacks, and finger food. Hope you enjoyed every minute of your trip. Can't wait for the next video.
It was definitely hard to leave! lol And we ate everything we could get our hands on. Maybe if we hid under the bed, they'd let us move in? hehe jk! We had so much fun, and I hope you are having a blast experiencing it with us! I was so excited to share with you!
@@LBVTV Glad you both had a great time. Did u learn the hiding under the bed move from Nate 🤓. We both can't wait for your live stream for Sunday funday tomorrow.
So many places to lounge around and talk about what to scack on next. Mmm surf turf, butternut squash soup, BLTs. Haven looks very fancy and roomy! Awesome
Right!! The food was the best part!! Everything was tasty, and I wanted to try as much as I could! I may have gone too far lol but I didn't want to miss out! It was magical!
Aww yay! Yes, we absolutely felt so spoiled! I can't believe they were able to help us get such an incredible deal! I think we would've had fun anywhere, but we made such amazing memories!
Everywhere in the Haven Conceirge Level are fantastic and like heaven. Bar, warm swimming pool, game room and cafe/restaurant are absolutely amazing from the freezing place.
hehe luckily it wasn't too cold, compared to middle of winter!! But it was truly amazing! Everything was so magical, and it was hard to believe it was all real. Maybe I will go tropical on my next cruises :)
These different areas of the ship are amazing. I love that they are spacious and not crowded. Sometimes you just need some space. The food looks just amazing!! I’m so thrilled you are sharing this all with us. I’ve never cruised before and this is definitely sparking some interest for the future. 🤗
Aww I am so happy to hear that!! It was my first cruise too, so it was fun to explore it all together with my LBV family! I absolutely agree, I loved that we had plenty of room to enjoy without feeling overcrowded. The food may have been the best part hehe but I hope you get a chance to go for yourself! I highly recommend treating yourself! :)
Yeah, how nice to be able to find a consistently quiet, spacious, uncrowded space on an NCL megaship. The giant public "Observatory Lounge" on most of their ships is usually that way, and very similar to the Haven's observation area, but it can get a bit more populated up at the front. --- On the other, OTHER hand... Yikes! In a way, that Haven's bar area, restaurant, and observation space looked, a little bit, uh... "abandoned" to me. Like going to a club on the one night of the week on which NObody goes there, or attending a concert in a little venue that is only one quarter sold. Kind of a sad feeling. --- I'm considering whether or not to upgrade to Haven on an upcoming cruise, and I gotta say, I'm really viewing the near-total lack of fellow passengers in those areas as more of a "minus" than a "plus" in my calculations.
You're totally right!! the room was so nice, and the pool was amazing and I loved that we got it to ourselves! But truly, you know how I feel about food. I love snacking, and they had so many things to choose from!! I hope you get a chance to experience it for yourself! You deserve it!!
Right? Love Haven. I'm fortunate to live in Long Beach so jumping on NCL Haven to Mexico is a synch. I love NCL with VIP check in .. no lines and drama. In fact from my home to the ship to was under 30 minutes. I love October cruising as temperatures are still summer like in CA/Mexico and kids are in school so quieter traveling. But in Haven. So great. My butler was amazing and saw to tea and scones and fresh fruit in my room, the Haven restaurant staff had amazing plant-based healthy vegan entrees even catered to my tastes as my butler was able to recommend. The Haven lounge was always relaxing quiet and free of screaming kids. Our butler had our favorites books, games .. basically anything I wanted. The mixology was beyond belief. I had the most delicious blood-orange margarita and I did the "mix your own by feel" and my mixologist came up with this amazing apricot gin martini nearly identical a drink my grand father had in the 1930s traveling on the Queen Mary (which by the way I see from house window). My friends and I always found a private quiet jacuzzi. On the first night we opted for Haven brought to our terrace and our butler had everything ready promptly with beautiful presentation in our suite. 2nd night we went to the main show and I mentioned I don't like people climbing on me. He privately escorted us to a VIP area that was great and after show had cocktails already prepared and brought back to our cabin. The Haven experience was so great we never even left the ship at ports. Why? even more pampering. I appreciated the spa infused water and little delicious bites, and I never had to look for vegan plant based as my concierge just let the whole staff where I would be. So literally I never even had to get up from a lounger. Everything was just brought to me. The butler saw to extra towels, and other toiletries. I had been an NCL headliner entertainer and jazz pianist/vocalist in the 90s and so I asked where is a quiet jazz club. I walked in and was actually announced like royalty. They gave me and my partner a seat right by the stage .. our drinks were already made and I was allowed to do perform a few numbers which is was great nostalgia. Also the class of people in Haven was just better. I met some lovely singles and couples that were international, cultural and interesting .. compared to the typical trashy Carnival style cruises with screaming kids, family's eating junk food and kids peeing in the pool LOL. So Haven is perfect for the classier set. Even one time when there were a a family with 2 kids traveling and in Haven, the concierge sat them far away from my party and the family had classy well behaved kids anyway. I never get to play board games and the concierge noticed I was wearing a Harry Potter Ravenclaw tea shirt and said she was Ravenclaw too. Next think I knew she had tracked down Potter Clue board game. I'm was like OMFG. Just the fact they listen and and are so attentive made Haven the best. I have also traveled other top cruise lines, Cunard White Star (classy but also very stuffy with assigned dining), .. Haven is just so relaxed and friendly. Also some of the most wonderful cuisine that also pull from flavors of ports you are visiting. I adore Mexican Cuisine and had an amazing vegan tostada and even pumpkin tamales for the Halloween festivities. I had a a fab cherries jubilee, and I mentioned I love wild mushrooms and 3rd night had an incredible mushroom ravioli with black truffles. Going on a 5 day was not bad at all. We paid under $4000 for everything. SO worth it. I have paid more than double that for other cruise lines.
Aww I am so happy to hear that!! I am so glad you enjoyed following along! I was so excited to share my experiences with you, so I am happy to hear they are fun to watch!!
Oh my goodness you are so silly lol. The drinks were amazing! I can't believe they could make us a special drink based off whatever we said! I should've made a rum drink for Captain Sparrow though. Next time!! hehe
@@LBVTV 😂! Absolutely terrific Maria! I'm so happy that you like Me silly jokes and Puns! ♥. Yoda best, and thank you soon much for you and Chris being my Awesome friends, plus inside connection to thee Magic Kingdom! Arr, me Hearties! See ya both arr soon. 👌!
Aww it was so truly magical!! Thank you so much!! I have to say, I had a blast, but I always love coming home and being back in my own bed hehe It was nice to have a break, but I am used to the Florida heat, so I adjusted right back!
We sailed the Breakaway last month. I wish I would have seen this before then. The Haven bar there had all of these concoctions but I wish I would have done what you both did! That looks like so much fun!
We will just have to go again😍❤️ hehe! Also magical vacation planner who helped us can set you up with all the info you would need . Denae is who we used if you need more help let us know
Just booked my haven room for 2024 norweigan breakaway. Im curious though. What haven food is included in the fare and what is additional charge? Aside from the snack bar is there haven room service/dining that is included ?
Another awesome vlog in the Alaska series!!! Haven Concierge Level looks amazing!!! Was it weird having so much light outside, when it’s technically supposed to be dark?? I know it would have definitely thrown off my sleeping cycle for sure 😂😂
Lol oh my goodness, yes!! It was light so late in the day! But the cruise in general did throw off my schedule. I had no idea what day we were on! hehe The ship is it's own little world, and we just ate our way through it lol
Thanks for the informative video. I am booked in the Haven but not till 2025 but extremely excited that I was able to get such a great deal. I was wondering how easy the check in process is on embarkation day and I was also wondering do I have to download the app or can I just go old-school with the paper copies of the planner in your room.
Yay!! I am so glad our video helped you!! This was all new to us, so we tried to document everything we didn't know :) I can't wait for you to experience it yourself!! You are going to have so much fun!!
Download the app prior to getting onboard so it is setup with a good connection before you connect to the internet minutes you may have. Once onboard the app will have the deck plans to look from level to level to get a good idea of the location of things you might want to head to. The only thing missing at this time is a search function that would take you right to the deck where the place onboard is with even a highlighted trace from your location to where you want to go.

Is there a surcharge for surf and turf room service?
Nope!
We had Maria on the prima! She was awesome
Oh that’s so cool!!!
Watching u on NCL Haven. And here in this upscale area I see a guy w a baseball hat on AND BACKWARDS! Really? Come on. The HAVEN!
MSC yacht club
Ooo yess I gotta try that out!!
We are NCL fans. It is the Haven or stay home.
Yesss I don’t think I could ever come back to NCL without staying in the haven! It was the best!
NCL has to step up the Haven indoor pool. That little bucket is NOT it.
