Haven guests have exclusive access to Haven-only spaces, allowing for a respite from the rest of the bustling ship. In these spaces you will be taken care of with 5-star service, giving you the feeling of being in a luxury resort within the ship itself.
In addition, breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the Haven Restaurant is a huge benefit, as it is arguably the best and most elevated specialty restaurant on an NCL ship, making this complimentary option a luxurious perk! All Haven-guest-only spaces are keycard access, with some NCL ships having exclusive Haven elevator banks as well, allowing Haven guests to-come and go from the Haven section of the ship with ease.
