We have not, however, we wished we did when we were in the Joy Haven. Our experience was it was very hard to get a comfortable lounge chair and the bar service was, for us, practically non-existent. Lately we have been just going with club balcony suites with Vibe passes and our four specialty dinners being platinum. We have been just as happy while savings thousands of dollars.

Yeah! So happy to hear the update on your new job and you are still loving it and your dad is well in his own degree of well. Also what a surprise we get treated to a b2b this month when I thought we would have to wait for your next Jewel adventure with your dad. As always I will definitely be following along and look forward to reading about your adventures, insight, opinions and experience with your fabulous use of words. Have a great time!

I was actually looking at this excursion this morning and could not figure it out. Hopefully, someone will report back with their experience. On another note, I wish NCL would bring back the ability to on input reviews on their excursion page. It was helpful in the past to gather information.

We are booked on the February 2025 Viva and some excursions have been added recently.

Thank you!

That was quick! Thank you for the update and glad to read it was a perfect day. Did you take a cab there and if so, do you remember how much it was? Also how long did it take to get there?

Any update?

And those hundreds will all not be interested in obtaining passes. It is obsolutely worth the effort to obtain a pass if one wants one. @2boyzmom please report back and have a great cruise regardless.

I am curious as how you would know? The majority of your posts regarding The Vibe are anti-Vibe, so I cannot see you hurrying along upon boarding to obtain one. Regardless, recent posts have indicated that there has been some success of obtaining passes on board.

We also book club balcony cabins and also went with a regular balcony cabin instead for our Viva 2025 cruise. The additional cost was ridiculous and we are also platinum so the few extra benefits were worthless to us.

For what it is worth, and this is just my opinion based on trying to keep up with the new additional Vibe space information, I believe they did not start selling the additional passes or cabanas pre cruise yet. If that is indeed the case, those new additional passes will be available on boarding day.

Got it.

No. There are also couches with tables for groups to hang out together.

And with excellent bar service......and the lounge chairs are padded (except on the Encore)

We had a CBS on Deck 8 last month on the Encore and did not have the shower/tub combo.

All three dining rooms will have the same menu each night.

On our 2019 Escape cruise, my daughter ate a vegan diet. Every afternoon she was told to go to the restaurant we were dining at that evening and discuss dinner options for her.

The Encore had chocolate milk last month in the buffet.

On the Encore last month, I was able to book Choir of Men at 21 days out.

We did not have a bathtub in our CBS last month on the Encore and hope not to have one this June on the Joy.

Thank you!

My husband and son had the filet with breakfast on the Epic last year a few times. We (I) just had to put in the request the night before.

I meant the whole bar which encompasses both sides. Both my husband and I thought the Vibe was the most crowded we have ever seen. Granted, this was the first time that we were in a Vibe with the extra top deck. However, for us, a well-attended Vibe is better than no Vibe.

Both sides were open on the Encore two weeks ago but I do not remember how many bartenders there were daily. Vibe was hopping but the service was terrific as usual.

We thought the same thing when we were on the Encore two weeks ago.
