NCL (Haven suite) vs. Royal Caribbean (Owner’s suite)
This is a comparison of events and accommodations of our most recent cruise on the Royal Caribbean - Allure of the Seas - January 2014 to a previous cruise that we had taken on the NCL – Breakaway - September 2013. The costs of these two cruises were about the same however the experiences were surprisingly different. We had previously stayed in a Haven Suite on the NCL – Breakaway for a seven day cruise for around $8,000 vs. staying in an Owners Suite on the Royal Caribbean - Allure of the Seas for around $7,800. These costs were for only the room accommodations. Airfare, excursions and other room charges were additional. Up until this cruise on the Royal Caribbean we were under the impression that the two cruise lines Royal and NCL were comparable as far as service, amenities and comfort. Read below our daily adventures and see for yourself how the two suites compared.

Cabin Review
Royal - (Owners Suite) the shower was 2.5 ft. by 2.5 ft. -- could mot bend over without smacking your head against the shower wall. Tried to sit in the Jacuzzi tub … I would not have fit … I am 6' 4" tall weight 285 lbs. The tub maybe was 20 inches wide. Remember this is supposed to be an owner’s suite. Living room area was very large. Basically it is three regular size rooms that have been connected together and laid out accordingly. Balcony was very large. Two lounge chairs and a 4 person dining table and chairs.
