A few questions...

[Malamel]

I'll be going on a solo cruise in September on the Breakway, 7 days to Bermuda. I was thinking of getting a Vibe pass, but I don't know if I want to deal with the hassle of being in line early enough to beat everyone else.

Is it really hard to find a free lounger on the rest of the ship? I know there's chair hogs everywhere, but will I have a hard time finding one chair to lounge on for a few hours? I'd rather spend the $80 on other things.

 

Does the casino have those machines where you try to win the stacks of money?

 

And how do you reserve shows? Do you have to go somewhere on the ship or do they have the interactive screens you can use?

 

Thank you.

Does the casino have those machines where you try to win the stacks of money? The coin push machine or the key in the hole game? They have both.

 

And how do you reserve shows? Do you have to go somewhere on the ship or do they have the interactive screens you can use?

You can call guest services from your cabin or a house phone, use your TV, use the interactive touchscreen displays by the elevators, or go to the box office when they are open.

 

Thank you.

Answered above.

You can also make reservations through My NCL before the cruise.

Me too! Definitely join your Roll Call on the roll call boards. Maybe we're on the same one!

Not hard AT ALL, if you don't insist on being really close to the pool. Spice H2O was pretty empty most times that I checked, when there isn't an event there. There are usually plenty of chairs on deck 16 above the pool deck. On deck 17 port side (opposite Vibe), there's a public sundeck where you can go all the way forward, and my friends found some hammocks there.

 

I'm considering getting a Spa pass, if they have a nice thalassotherapy pool.

Do you mean the one that's sort of like a claw machine, where you have to position some key-like thing to fit within a "keyhole"? Yes, I think I remember seeing one of those.

You can go to the "box office" outside the theater, or you can use the TV in your room or any of the interactive TVs near the elevators and in the 678 deck area in the middle of the ship. Or install the iConceirge app on your phone and use that... you don't have to pay for that service.
