NCL Epic POSH/VIBE advice needed

We will be on the NCL Epic leaving from Port Canaveral this January. We would like to get tickets to the POSH/VIBE beach club on the boat. Can anyone provide some insight on the best way to secure them? I understand that there is normally a rush to get the few available tickets. We are both Casino at Sea and Platinum Plus Latitudes members. Which one of the two get earlier boarding?

I have never booked this club, and am also wondering if it is worth the cost. Any advice you can provide is appreciated. - Steve

Hey Steve,

You will get priority boarding as a P+ member. You should move quickly down to guest services and see if there are any passes available.

Positive: The Posh Club is the private sundeck for the Havens guests. So none of those earliest pre-boards will be rushing for passes.

Positive: You are P+, so you should be able to be one of the first priority boarders (along with all of the Ambassador and Platinum guests).

Negative: Since the Posh Club is the Havens private lounge, they usually only sell 10ish passes to non-Havens guests (if any). So you have to (maybe putting some of your manners aside) hover and be one of the first priority boarders through the door, and know your route down the escalators into guest services.

Good Luck!

We were recently told by the bartender in Posh that after issues in Europe, they stopped selling passes and it was Haven only. This was day 1, over Thanksgiving. But that could change. We were not trying to purchase them since we were staying in the Haven. Maybe someone on a cruise between now and yours that is looking to buy them can verify if this is true or still the case. He mentioned it was due to rude people who bought passes demanding things that were not included.

I have heard this from others who have sailed recently as well.

I just got off 2 Epic sailings B2B and can verify this. Was told they are not selling the Posh Experience passes at all any longer. Asked several times and got the same answer each time: No longer sold at all due to recent incidents that occurred in Europe, that impacted Haven guests' enjoyment of the space.

That of course could change.

There are literally only a handful of Posh passes available. Last time we sailed on Epic, only people who grabbed passes were on B2Bs. Everyone else was Haven.

They may have stopped as well because it appears that they are planning to rename the suites to be Haven Suites. I noticed on the Bliss that all the suites are called that and will have access, even the aft suites.

All suites on Epic (and newer) are all Haven suites and have full Haven access. It has always been this way.

I read on a FB NCL group yesterday that someone who sailed last week on Epic was able to still purchase them at 1pm. Maybe they are selling them again???

I just got off the Epic on Saturday and I can tell you 100% that they are still selling Posh passes to non-Haven guests. I can tell you this, because we secured passes #9 & 10. It looked like she had about 20 passes in her hand. We might have gotten lucky that they had them, but we were in boarding group 3 and went straight to guest services. We did not run, we were not rude, and we lucked out. Do not just wait to get to the desk, as you needed the little numbered yellow tags to secure the passes. We were one of the first in line at guest services when we got there, but within 5 minutes, there was a huge lineup behind us.

I did not find it worth the money this time as my daughter was with me and I did not use it more than once or twice. My adult son didn't use it much either. It only being open until 6pm wasn't ideal. If you do secure one, feel free to use the glass elevator off deck 15 at the outside garden buffet, as your keycard will operate the Haven only elevator to deck 18, right into the Posh area.

Good luck!

Just got off of the Epic this morning.

Posh tickets were sold for this cruise. 20 of them.

We were booked Haven, but while up there met a couple that had purchased the tickets. They said there were only 20 tickets available.

There are no "Suites" on the Epic, Breakaway, Getaway, Escape, or Bliss. There are only Havens rooms,,, regardless of their location on the ship.
