Vibe passes can only be purchased on the ship. I believe the current cost is $99 per person for the week.

 

Robert

thank you where do i purchase passes

can you pre purchase vibe passes online? I couldn't seem to find link to do it. If not where do I purchase them and if you know $$ also that would be great. I noticed only number of seats are sold and I want this, any help is appreciated. TIA:)

We are cruising on the Getaway in the spring. Soon we can make reservations for dining and entertainment. I want to make some dining reservations and entertainment reservations on the same evening but I don't know the entertainment show times. How can I find the show times for our cruise?

They book out 90 days in advance, so you will have the show listings, so you can make your dinner reservation according to schedules

hi all,

we are sailing getaway in january has anyone taken pix of menus at all and if so could you post them? much appreciated

we are thinking of doing the speed boat snorkel and beach its pricy $114 lunch included, but looks like a lot of fun, anyone do this?

Is anyone keeping a running list? I would to print it off and have a check list!

i would like a copy also :D

I'm not trying to undermine the efforts made here - but I do not really understand the importance of the information.

 

Does service or the overall cruise experience vary based on who holds these positions? How would one cruise be different with a different Executive Staff?

 

I can understand if you had a crap Concierge or something, but I don't really see the need to know the rest.

 

Can someone shed some light on this?

ive never had the conceirge but the only one i care about is the cruise director. they are a huge part of the experience. last cd we had was non impressive and arrogant. He asked me to dance and i didn't know a specific latan dance so he told me to take lessons and went on his way. still trying to talk the hubbs into lesson because i was embarressed. One director who has moved on from ncl was sinan, he was amazing and enhanced the entire trip.

dirty banana, tastes like a milkshake with a kick, love bahama mama and painkillers first time have the UBP and plan to get my moneys worth :o

what do you guys think of this? It is really expensive :( but looks like fun?

we are thinking of doing this also

you say you have organised a meet and greet so you must know the ship co ordinator doesn't make contact more than 3 weeks before and time and venue is organised by them .Ship provides venue refreshments and officers turnup but anything over and above that is up to participants on roll call

so not true, i have contacted up to 5 months in advance was given meet date/time and was asked to reconfirm 3 weeks prior with more accurate count, granted i only have organized twice and it was the same with both

I enjoy the M/G but it all depends on the organizer, our last sailing the person who did it didn't even arrange for the meeting place until 3 weeks before sailing didn't keep tally of attendies and was so poorly put together, i thought about not attending. I did go and boring............ maybe a dozen people showed up and my dh is very outgoing and nobody would strike up a conversation with us. I enjoy meeting the staff and do like the m/g but if you are going to sign up to organize then organize. i don't think you need to spend a lot of money, my favorite was a book swap. i personally never met anyone i would want to mingle with on the ship but I will keep trying. The only thing I don't like is when too much stuff is planned ie m/g and slot pull and cabin crawl all done at differant times. don't need any trolls trashing me I'm just being honest for those who might organize what some people like and don't like. And I have been jipped I never got any perks for arranging m/g :cool: but when I did it I had fun and I enjoy meeting the staff. I love CC and all the knowledge I have gotten and love love cruising. hope you all have a great day and until your next trip happy countdown.

So I booked a night at the comfort suites August. 19 when we are in Nassau. Our stop is from 8 to 5. What time should I head back to the comfort suites in order to make it back to the ship? I plan to get right off the boat asap and grab the first taxi I see when we get there. Planning on spending a few hours in the water park .. Hour on the beach and maybe a few hours exploring. Will I have enough time to do this? Also this will be my first time at Atlantis.. Any tips I should know?

we just did the same time frame we loved atlantis, go through the digs first then do the water rides first, grap your tube and hit the not so lazy river and when you get to a water ride, get out and go on ride and then back into the river to the next one, this way you can enjoy this ride and don't loose your tube. enjoy a lunch and keep your refillable cup for more soda, remember they only use cards so cash won't help. then head to the beach and enjoy the beauty of the bahamas. make sure you get a locker and they will exchange towels out for you many times if you want a fresh one. also make sure they quote you on cab ride prior to leaving, if group of 4 i haggled price, have fun

Hi everyone,

Enjoy!

Colleen

thank you for the amazing pix

on special page it states 50% deposit for select sailings and they are listed on that page, my jan 2016 getaway was on there and honored.

Oh sorry about that - I heard that it was 90 but not positive

Thank you

...

how far in advance can you book shows?

the 18% will be added on to the price of the cruise, you will see it on your bill

I suggest booking before you get on board. I have heard quite a few people say that shows were already booked when they got on the ship.

oh that i will do , but last time i think it was either 75 or 90 days in advance, thats what i'm looking for, anyone??????????

The theaters on the Breakaway class ships are relatively small. Reservations are a must.

how far in advance can you book the shows online?

Check trip advisor!

oh I did, was just looking for others opinions, thanks for our input:)

Planning a last second cruise out of New Orleans. Surprised to see that there are no NCL ships currently sailing from New Orleans. What's up with that! Based on pricing I would think that this is prime season for cruises in the Caribbean.

 

Looks like I will have to cruise with the Carnival. What, no free UBP? And I would't even have complained about paying the gratuity!

prime time season to caribbean is january - april, i was in st thomas the third week of april and the stores were closing for the summer we got some great deals but now is time for bermuda and transatlantic, what ever you do have fun

I booked at the red roof inn plus, it was 180 and that included airport and port transfers, does anyone have any reviews or have stayed there previously? would appreciate input, thanks in advance

I also would like this info. We arrive in Miami jan 23,2016. I know it seems far out but need to plan. We are budget conscience for hotel I don't want a dive but don't wanna spend money that I could have for cruise. 3 star is fine

Our friends are in the next door balcony cabin. Can the partition be opened between them on deck 12??

only when in ports not while ship is moving, i found out the hard way that we couldn't open them:(

Also, I think two bottles is the limit. There is an area on the NCL web site that address wine. It fails to mention the fact that they confiscate it from you until you pay up.

I have checked in 4 bottles last time, I found a new cab sauv on ship it was $39 on ship and in local stores it was 11.99 so we bought 1/2 case and got it for 10 a bottle with corking fee its still a saving, we will continue to pay fee and still save money
