As always, looking forward to reading about your next adventure with your dad. Wishing you both a happy birthday and a wonderful time. And I love the wrapping paper! My dad turned 88 last month. He was supposed to go with us on our extended family cruise this June to Bermuda but pulled out at final payment much to the disappointment of his grandchildren.

Hmmm.....we are in club balcony suites in June 2025, but I think I will look into these new cabins. Thank you for reporting on your switch!

Add us to the early bird list! Even if we are not in the Haven, we get to the port super early and like to be onboard as soon as possible. This allows us to take care of updated reservations, book the Platinum events, book the entertainment that is available and then have a nice lunch. This then allows us to spend the rest of the full afternoon in the Vibe as a great start to our vacation. Sitting in the waiting room for an hour or two or three does not bother us as we all have books and tablets. For us, it is part of the excitement.

Thank you very much. We have never eaten at Ocean Blue before, but the young adults in our family want to give it a try. The men and young adult men would rather not bring or wear pants.

Thank you but we will be docked in Bermuda. We agree, it is on the chilly side while the ship is moving but do enjoy eating outside while docked.

I know that pants are required for men at Ocean Blue, but are they required if you are sitting outside?

@luckybeckyThank you very much for taking the time to post this report on what sounds like an amazing adventure. I appreciate your how you are writing up your daily summary with a nice amount of added pictures. I will definitely go back and read your other trip reports.

Wow, what beautiful shots from the webcam. Thank you for posting.

Really looking forward to reading about your new adventure. Your posts are always very informative and I enjoy reading them. Have a wonderful cruise!

For some reason, I really enjoy the carafe of water. I pour it in my yeti that I use for water so the ice does not melt.

Thank you for posting your Vibe experience so far for your Alaskan cruise. We have passes for our June 2025 Encore cruise and with three see days (one being Glacier Bay), I would be very happy to have one really nice day weather wise. Regardless of the weather, I am sure our group will be spending a good amount of time there including sail a way. Enjoy the rest of your cruise!

That is what I would do also if I just wanted the Vibe pass and not the cabana. However, I would definitely check every day. What sailing are you on in February?

Since they started preselling the Vibe passes in the summer of 2022, I have always been able to secure the passes very far out of final payment.

We also happily took the free water!

Thank you for this bit of information. I will definitely send an email beforehand and ask to have a cabana on the starboard side.

On the Encore this past February, both my husband and I were given the large box of water everyday. We did not know we were entitled to it; the Vibe staff handed it to us the first day and told us we can get one every day.

Wow....wishing you both a wonderful adventure! What an exciting way to celebrate retirement. I am looking forward to following your travels.

Would love to see the dailies if you can post them. Have a wonderful cruise.

I am interested in the NCL ferry schedule too.

What cabin category were you in? For our upcoming June cruise, we originally had cabins on deck 15, but NCL moved us to deck 13.

The crew in the Vibe know who has the cabanas. They will stop others from using your cabana when you are not using it.

Looking forward to your live review. Thank you and have a wonderful time! We are on the Joy in June. If you can, can you please post the dailies.

Thank you for this information. I will definitely put this down on our notes for our cruise on the Joy in June.

Yes, that is what I am planning on doing.

Still following along........ I really enjoyed your reports so far and the pictures. Thank you for taking the time to share your vacation. Not a fan of NCL charging for shuttles to get to downtown.
