Creator's Key Takeaways
We are absolutely enjoying the Haven experience.
I would recommend at least taking a look at Haven to see if it makes sense for you.
The margarita was good. They were out of nachos. They were out of everything else. Not the best experience.
I have never heard of this before. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Princess, if you go and put your um sale and sign, CPASS, whatever card you call it into the machine, you can just start playing now on this ship on NCL.

Welcome back to our NCL Bliss series! Today we're taking you along for our Ensenada port day — packed with gorgeous views, waterfront strolls, Haven relaxation, margaritas, go-karts, and the kind of moments that make cruising unforgettable. We start the morning with incredible bridge-cam views right from our Haven Courtyard Suite, followed by a relaxing French press breakfast in the Haven restaurant. Then we head ashore to explore Ensenada — including the famous bridge walkway, the marina, the MASSIVE Mexican flag, and a stop at Bar Andaluz for margaritas. Back onboard, we settle into the Haven Bar for drinks, snacks, and some mid-day relaxation before Christina suits up for the Bliss Speedway go-karts! Sunset over Ensenada + the Carnival Firenze in the background made it even better. We wrap the day with sail-away vibes, pier runners, and more Haven thoughts — including how we won our Haven Suite upgrade bid. We have more Bliss videos coming, including our Sea Days and NCL Highlights! 👍 If you enjoy cruising content, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to join the Lido Hoppers community! 🔔 Hit the bell so you don’t miss the next episode in our NCL Bliss series. 📺 Watch Our Full Bliss Series Here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRYSVM_zsh39qlVn5DUFS8OFgPkt4ZDn2 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @LidoHoppers ☕ Support the channel: https://buymeacoffee.com/lidohoppers ✈️ We’re also travel advisors — reach out if you’d like help booking your next cruise adventure! https://lidohoppers.com/ As an Amazon affiliate we earn a small commission on items that you purchase at no additional cost to you.
