reeinaz Posted June 20, 2023 #51 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I was able to add a Vibe pass to my reservation for my Nov 2024 Viva sailing via Chat this morning. $319 for a 16 day sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolsie Posted June 23, 2023 #52 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Thank you to this group - managed to secure Vibe passes for our 25th Feb 2024 cruise on Viva. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a Plan B just in case I cannot get them. No Vibe, no Viva for us! NCL has told me that you have to book to find out if the Vibe Beach Club is available. You have 24 hours to cancel, regardless, they said, but this policy is not written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudistcruzer Posted October 11, 2023 #54 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I just booked the 4 day on the Viva for December 2, 2023. They said the Vibe is either sold out or they are not booking for some reason. Also, they said that there are always some spots left that can be booked on the ship. I actually booked a Vibe Cabana instead. They look awesome. Not cheap for a 4 night cruise though.Since it is out of Miami, it should be warm the entire time. Can't wait.

We do have a reservation for February 2025 on the Viva and still plan to cancel if we cannot secure Vibe passes before final payment. However, we are just as excited about our Plan B so we are OK with canceling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hack to avoid the book/cancel cycle is to ask in the roll-call for your cruise if someone would look at availability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost had to do this for a cruise and was surprised that they weren't all that much more expensive than the two passes they included, like about $100 more for a 7-night cruise. Have they cranked the price up a lot more now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they cranked the price up a lot more now? Not as of yet. For our February 2024 cruise on the Encore, we paid $599 over a year ago and that is the current price still showing up. Then the regular passes were $229 and now they are $249 so for new purchases, it would be $101 more. We have passes reserved for our June 2024 Joy cruise at $229; however, when they start selling the new Joy Cabanas we might switch our passes to cabanas for some of them as we have 12 passes reserved.

The same person said they hold back 35% of dining reservations for booking on the ship. I think it was the same person that told me because I am platinum, partly. I have 5 Speciality Dinners for a 4 night cruise. The information available to customer service is clearly not organized very well. When I first went to the Posh club on the Epic, they were only booking on the ship. So, I would be surprised that they went from only booking on the ship to essentially only booking online. I feel so lucky that I found this info. I have never been on an NCL ship Epic or newer and not had the Posh/Vibe Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olemissreb Posted October 13, 2023 #63 Share Posted October 13, 2023 The Vibe sounds so nice, but is it really worth it on a cruise with 7 ports in 7 days? We may only do half day excursions, so we'd get at least a 1/2 days use out of it...plus I've been to St. Thomas, so may just stay on the ship. Sailing Viva in March '25.

Customer Service continues to insist they hold back some slots to book on the ship. But these can sell out very fast and essentially you need to be the first one on the ship. There are no guarantees.

We are on the Viva in December, 6 ports 6 days (7-night cruises have 6 days of ports) and we're getting Vibe. Barbados is only from like 6 AM till 1 PM (what a waste), St Thomas we also might stay on board, St Maarten we don't arrive until 10 AM so I can see us waiting till noon to leave the ship. Plus we really enjoy Vibe the most in the late afternoons, hanging around the bar and socializing. There is usually a consistent group of passengers that become quite friendly.

Keith.W Posted November 3, 2023 #70 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Vibe on the Viva, was amazing Curly, Michael, Madde Jasimne made my stay first class and i wouldn't have sailed without it even on a 9 night port intensive cruise i used it daily . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_And_K_gocruising Posted November 3, 2023 #71 Share Posted November 3, 2023 That site shows hours of course subject to change as 7a-11p.. I've normally seen things listed as 8 or 9a - 7p..

nudistcruzer Posted November 3, 2023 #73 Share Posted November 3, 2023 When I first posted on this thread I wasn't scheduled on the Viva. I am also on the Getaway for 20 days in February/March. I went looking for a short cruise this fall; so, now, I am one the first Viva Cruise out of the United States. In less than one month, I will be on the 12/2/2023 Sailing. Any questions I can answer while at the Vibe Beach club or generally on the Viva starting 12/2, I can try and answer while on the ship... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
