Creator's Key Takeaways
we thought was the best restaurant on the ship so much so that we don't think the Haven is really worth it unless the ship has a Haven Restaurant on it
the menu in the Haven does not change what it is on day one is what it is at the end of your cruise
the bartenders and I wouldn't even refer to them as bartenders they're mixologists
