The Gem does not have a Vibe or Posh.

What I am trying to figure out is if we can go to guest services when we board and purchase them for our nephew and his wife who will not be staying in the Haven. We will also be paying for them if that makes a difference. I know for the run for the Vibe passes, you got a number then you purchased it on your own timeline.

I also think this is why the ship will be getting in an hour earlier now so they have an extra hour to clear it. But, then again, what do I know. We are sailing March 19th so I hope it improves by then. However, we plan to get there early before the larger crowds.

We also will have our butler keep the water pitcher filled. And we also always bring our own refillable water bottles. But, we do like to grab these extra waters and throw them in our back packs/bags for extra water when we leave the ship. As heavy water drinkers, we definitely would have been using the "free" waters. And I do not think you are a silly goose, I think you just know what is right and what is wrong.

Based on what I have been told, you are correct, the water promotion is not eligible for re-priced cruises. However, NCL was more than happy to increase our tips (or whatever they call them) on the FAS beverage package for said re-pricing. I get it, it is only water. However, it rubs me the wrong way, once again.

We must always have the same issues/questions! I also e-mailed Kathy's office yesterday for clarification and agree, the announcement was very confusing and the end result is disappointing.

When did you book?

We have been in both on the Joy and on the Escape. They both have the same vibe but I think my husband prefers the Escape for some reason.

The e-mail address I used is Janice.Laing@stkittsmarriott.com.

Yes, that is correct. There is not a Vibe on the Epic but a Posh. However, Posh is mainly for the Haven guests with a few passes available for non-Haven guests.

We have been on both and prefer the Escape. District Brew House is a huge plus for us.

When did you book?

When did you book?

Do they give you a number as what they do (use to) with the Vibe then you actually wait on the line with your number?

Good for you that your pursued it and got your cabin back. I would have been livid to hear that they gave it to a last minute B2B passenger.

Thank you for checking in as I am enjoying reading your post.

Just chatted again with NCL. Was told the booking period for the free water was from 9/14/22 through 12/15/22. And it does not include any re-pricing during that time. I said that does not make sense since if you re-book, you have to accept the new promotions at that time which would include the water. I was given another phone number to call. Also, when I heard about the included water, I do not remember reading it was for a limited time only. I thought, mistakenly so, that it was an improvement to the FAS beverage package.

Does anyone know where to go to secure a Posh pass? We will be staying in the Haven, however, two members of our group who are not in the Haven are interested in purchasing them.

Thank you for the definition. Our group of 14 will not be in that classification!

Not on any on my confirmations. I checked my nephew's confirmation, who I booked in November, and it is not on the email confirmation but is included on his summary page.

I definitely will, thank you. As we intend to order two six packs, it will save us $45.

Thank you all for the "Baptiste" recommendation. We currently have a private tour booked and when I give them a final count I will definitely ask for Baptiste.

Thank you for reporting back the pricing. I was trying to figure out how much a cab was and estimate the food and drink costs. By my calculation, you paid $62 for your shrimp appetizer and three beers. I think I have to increase my food/drink budget.

What does T'erd free mean?

Glad we reserved months ago for the $39 price. I contacted the hotel directly and they were quick to reply and very helpful. We will be going in March 2023.
