Haven review on the Escape
I wanted to provide not only a Haven review but also some thoughts about the ship and the overall cruise itself. First, this review is being written by someone that is pretty adverse to large ships and in fact, the last 10 years we have focused on much smaller ships that have a passenger count from 130 to 500. It seems like the older we get the more crowd adverse we have become so the smaller ships became much more appealing. In addition, it allowed us to form some great relationships with people that we still chat with today.
What convinced us to take this cruise was the concept the Haven promised. Separate pool, separate restaurant, separate bar, and separate sunning area. In addition, we used the lounge area to find a quiet place to read your book and have a glass of wine. All of this coupled with access to the speciality dining and the bigger and better shows made for a nice combination. We found ourselves truly enjoying the Haven experience and would recommend it highly if you want to go down the path of a bigger ship.
