Creator's Key Takeaways

We're heading out of the Port of Miami on our favorite walk up the gang way. We get so excited for this part.

When you're staying in the Haven area on Norwegian Cruise Line, there'll be a separate waiting area for Haven guests with snacks and drinks and place to hang out.

We didn't have the best butler on this cruise. I don't know if it was cuz they had too many rooms in the aft that were too far apart from each other or they just maybe weren't that good of a butler.

One great thing about this room was the size of the balcony which you'll get to see during sailway and you can see in our room tour video.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book early check-in times to be ready for lunch as soon as the Haven restaurant opens.
Spend sail away on your own balcony to watch the wake of the ship.
