Join us as we tour The Haven Aft-Facing Penthouse Suite 12306 aboard the Norwegian Escape on a 7-day Caribbean cruise in late May. This highly sought-after Haven suite features one of the largest balconies on the ship—perfect for warm Caribbean mornings or sunset views at sea. Although this cabin is located outside the Haven complex, it includes full Haven access: private restaurant, lounge, sundeck, and priority services.
We give you a full walkthrough of the suite, share the Haven benefits that mattered most, and offer packing tips, cabin hacks, and important info for travelers with special needs. You'll also learn how we maximize minimal outlets (important for charging multiple devices), and how this cabin worked for our tech setup—though CPAP users may still need an extension cord.
Finally, we show you the actual cost comparison between this suite and a standard balcony room on this itinerary so you can decide if it’s worth the splurge.
