We decided to go with The Haven as we felt that we needed the extra space and loved the idea of so many private amenities. This was our first European cruise so we wanted to go first class all of the way. Although on some levels, they delivered... Norwegian still has some fine tuning to do here.

EMBARCATION: This was a miss as far as we were concerned. Check-in by-and-large was quick for ALL passengers. What made Haven different was that it took WAY too long long. You are escorted to a "holding" area (which was fair at best). There you wait for someone to come and escort you from one person to another person to another person... You get the idea. Then you wait again on board the ship for the concierge to "show" you the facilities (total check in before we got to the cabin was 40 minutes. I guarantee you that if you were in another section of the ship that it would've taken less than 15 minutes. Trust me... SKIP the tour (it is completely useless).

CABIN: This was a major hit! We had the 2-bedroom suite which was incredible! Huge and comfortable with tons of space to move around, 3 TVs (so never any arguing with the kids), a great pod coffee maker, 2 really nice bathrooms. In other words, better than most suites that we've ever seen before. The location is also only a short walk to the Haven pool area and restaurants. Read more
