Sail Date: May 2017
Cabin: The Haven Owner's Suite with Large Balcony

Traveled with husband and 12 year old son. Though getting on and off the ship at start and finish, even with being in the Haven wasn't the best. (I think they just need more people) getting on and off at the ports were fine and not crowded. You are treated like royalty in the Haven, we were in the owners suite with an incredible balcony. The "treats" they left everyday were very tasty, sandwiches, sweets, fresh fruit. Our best meal was in the Italian restaurant. The buffet was fine, good selection, though tough finding a seat at peak times. My son loved the room service and exploring the ship on his own. The mini golf was great. Shout out to Oliver Barbosa on the top deck, catered to every need! Recommend the zip line in Tortola, it was fun and they were very patient with someone who doesn't like heights. St. Thomas was fine, just went shopping and took the "sky ride" across the street from the dock which has a great view when you go to the top. i found Nassau to be very expensive, especially for just souvenirs and t-shirts - buy in St. Thomas, much better deals.

Cabin Review

The Haven Owner's Suite with Large Balcony

Cabin H3

The best cabin, huge balcony on the front of the ship. It was spacious with plenty of storage. Loungers and table and chairs on the balcony. It was very luxurious, my only complaint, and it's a small one, is the toilet paper--they couldn't have softer toilet paper? Our butler delivered tons of snacks in the afternoon--everything was fresh and you couldn't possibly eat everything they left. The fridge was stocked with soda. You are really treated like royalty.

Port Reviews

St. Thomas

St. Thomas was nice, shopping was great, didn't have to walk far from the ship. Took the sky ride across from the top that had a nice view.

Nassau

Expected "tourist trap" and it lived up to expectations. I thought everything was really overpriced, definitely do your shopping in St. Thomas. Didn't do the shore excursion to Paradise Island but by the look of the lines, a lot of people did.
