Hi! We are sailing on the prima for NYE out of Orlando in 4 days! I just bought 2 vibe passes. I was debating between vibe and the spa pass but this post made me select Vibe. I’ll report back after Jan 8. 

You won’t regret it! My husband and I have bought these passes several times and have always felt like we got our money’s worth!

We are VERY excited to be boarding Prima on the 30th as well!

For anyone visiting the Vibe on Prima, be aware that it catches lots of soot particles from the exhaust.  Be sure to put a towel down on any surface that you are going to sit on.  Apart from that it is a great experience.

Hi! I know today is SAIL DAY!! How did you score tickets so close to embarkation, did your cruise have them for sale because my Feb 2023 sailing is not showing anything.

Sad but True no vibe passes available.....!

We booked the Prima January 22nd 2022 for a February 23' sailing.  There was no opportunity to prebook the Vibe at that time.  Subsequently, NCL decided, as I now find out, in June 2022 to allow passengers to prebook this exclusive area.  This availed anyone who booked 6 months after us to get these passes.

Prior protocol was to get on the ship and run like maniacs to the comedy club or other designated areas to be one of 200 to pay for the pleasure of this gated area.

Now this has changed without notification to those of us who booked long ago.  Not an email or any website notification that this was changing.

I called customer services and ran up the ladder and was told that I should have checked the booking daily to see if there were any changes...really?  We are just disappointed that we weren't informed as to the change and given an opportunity to book.  The supervisor was curt and disinterested.

Her answer was to buy day passes, but you all know how that goes...sorry folks, parks closed.

Obviously going forward I'll check that box when booking, but for all of you who would normally 'run for the vibe', take your time it's not gonna happen.

Smooth Sailing to All

I booked last March for my February 26/23 sailing. Every now and then I check Cruise Critic site!! In June someone posted about Vibe selling passes!! Called NCL in June and bought Vibe passes for my Escape 2/18/23 cruise and Prima!! Last week I booked a B2B cruise for 2024 and was able to buy Vibe passes!! 

You can always check once onboard. Someone posted they were available. Good luck and enjoy your cruise!

Thanks Cat and Bird....no pun intended....

Live and Learn.  It will still be great and we'll check once we are on board.

I've been following Bird's travels for a long time...all my best to you.

May see you onboard somewhere sometime....
