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.

We love how fun it is to jump onto the ship. We're finally on our cruise.

The Haven has a pretty standard menu and it doesn't really change from day to day.

We spent sail away on our own balcony because it was a great place to watch the wake of the ship and we have tons of space.

Creator's Tips & Advice

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

Parking at the Port of MiamiVIP parking signs might be misleading; there's no special Haven parking area.
Access to Haven complex from aft roomsYou still have access to the Haven complex like the restaurant, bar, pool, etc., even if your room is outside the Haven.
