This review is of the Getaway May 16 to the Eastern Caribbean. My GF and I have gone on cruises before but this was her parents first time. We stayed in the Haven in a 2-Bedroom suite H4. We all had the UDP and UBP. Feel free to ask ay questions you have. I'll do my best to type everything up but I'm sure I'll forget some things.

Embarkation

We flew into Ft Lauderdale the day before the cruise so we could avoid any possible delays. We left the hotel at 10am the next day, and were at the port of Miami by 10:30. Once there we dropped off our luggage and went to our terminal. The security line was short and there was no VIP/Heaven line. When we got pass security the Haven check in office was immediately to our left only a few steps away. We were the only ones in there and had all our paperwork done in about 5mins. Our key cards said Haven on them and had the UDP & UBP stickers on them. After that we were directed to the room across from the one we were in to wait. In the room were couches and refreshments. We were in the room for about 30 sec before we were led upstairs VIP style. The lady led us past all the lines to a staff elevator and then past more lines of angry people staring at us, all the way to the VIP/Haven waiting area. The waiting area was nice and had a lot of refreshments and seating. There was a wedding going on so there were a lot of people in the waiting area. We were only there for about 45mins before we got the Ok to be led onto the ship. At this time it was somewhere between 11:30-45. We were then led to Haven where the concierge gave his speech and talked about the Haven and what he does. After that we went to the bar and ordered some drinks. Waiters then came out of nowhere and started serving everyone sliders and fries. Once we were done with our drinks and food we went to our room.

Cabin Review

The Haven 2-Bedroom Family Villa with Balcony

Cabin H4

We stayed in room H4 16712. It's a 2-bedroom suite and was very nice. We stayed in a 2-bedroom suite before on the Dawn, but we thought this one was much nice. The location of this room was great. It was close by everything and there wasn't a lot of foot traffic going past our room. The room was very modern looking with all current up to date electronics. We let my GF parents have the master bedroom since they had never been on a cruise before. The master bedroom and bathroom were very nice as usual. Surprisingly for two adults the second bedroom was quiet comfortable to sleep in. The pull out sleeper sofa with an egg crate on top was very soft. The bathroom was the same size you would typical have in a normal inside cabin. Only downside to the second bedroom was that there wasn't a lot of walking room. Overall I really liked this style room and will be staying in it again.

Port Reviews

Nassau

Our last stop was at Nassau. I've been there before so we didn't do any excursions. We just walked around the port and did some souvenir shopping. We also went to senor frogs and had lunch there since they had free wifi.
