Vibe/Onboard Credit + Social Media Package Questions

[zackarykeef]

Hey all...

 

Just two quick questions in preps for my upcoming cruise on Encore. I feel like I know the answers, but just want to make sure.

 

1) Does anyone know if you can use OBC for Vibe passes?

 

2) Does the social media internet package support iMessage and/or video calls via FaceTime, FB, or WhatsApp? I had a package on my last cruise and was able to video chat, I just don't remember if it was a regular internet package or the social media package. If anyone who has sailed more recently could help, that would be great!

 

Thanks in advance everyone, and happy cruising! 😎

2) Not a clue but hopefully someone else can help you there!

Vibe club pass: obc can be used towards your purchase. we rushed to purchase vibe passes as soon as we boarded. We were #92 & 93. The cost of the vibe beach club for 7 days was $209 per person. The fee is non-refundable and you are warned of inclement weather closing of the entire area which may include rain or high winds. There is no pool. Only a misting station. On sea days there is extremely high winds. So much so, that 1 jacuzzi was closed off and even tho the sunning area on that side of the club was open, there was no-one who could stand the strong winds enough to hang out there. Fortunately, they did not close the entire area, but most logical adults could reason that unattended belongings would fly away if left in the high winds.  They do give you clip-on, removable, brightly-colored wrist bracelets to wear in the club area. The attendants will ask you to put it on if you forget and will escort any non-wearing, non-paying guests out of the club area on the 1st days as they get to know everyone by name after only a day or 2. The area includes shade umbrellas but, as we quickly discovered, they are rarely put out for use. The winds are pretty intense on the top decks where the club is located and so they have a few issues. Even while in port, in Miami, they had to take the umbrellas down as they started toppling with the high winds. Jacuzzis fit about 8 people comfortably. There are no bubbles. Just warm (not hot) water. No drinks allowed in jacuzzi. The explanations was that drinks have toppled into the jacuzzi which then take 2+ hours to empty, clean, and refill the tub. On the plus side, if you bring your yeti cup, bartenders seem to be nice enough to fill those with your drink of choice or fresh water or alcoholic concoction throughout the day. I also saw them bring out pitchers of citrus flavored water to small groups with plastic cups to go with it. On the sea day towards the Bahamas, they were able to open a few umbrellas and played some soothing jazz music. Enjoyable weather and good times.
