can you also please report on vibe cabanas?
Are you able to buy them online yet? Have heard it’s not ready, but since the 1st cruise is a TA in Feb, they may have reprioritized. 

Hi curious if there is a pool in vibe

I hadn't been in her before, but had been on the Encore.

 

From what it seems, the seating areas in the walkway port side are gone, whereas remain on the starboard side. 

 

But all the observation windows are still there as far as I can see. 

 

Ship has a new feel to it for things like carpets and general appearance. 

Do you know if vibe has a pool? 

For a 7 day cruise it was 199 per person in November last year

Does anyone know if NCL lets you know if your bid was denied? I am 2 days away from sailing and still havent heard anything.

Do they email you with a denial or you just assume it is a no 48 hours before sailing?

Thanks to anyone who can help

I sailed in the suite forward on the 8th floor. The balcony was huge and the room was amazing but when the ship is cruising it can get windy. if you are lying on the loungers on the deck it is fine because you are below the railing and don't feel it. I really enjoyed that room

Has anyone heard about their bids for the Gems 4/7 sailing? I wonder if they are accepting any since it is close to sailing and it looks like they are selling out quickly

Hope all of your bids are accepted !!! I find myself looking at my email all day anxiously waiting to hear lol....

has anyone heard anything on their bids for the Gem 4\7 sailing yet??

No those rooms do not have haven access!!

I love the penthouse rooms but they do not include the spa which is a separate charge. I have always had a king size bed in that room with no way to split them into two beds.

We cruised Alaska in June last year, you will find the weather really varies. I dresses in layers with a rain coat and then had purchased Rain ponchos before leaving. This worked perfectly !!

welcome to the cruising world !!! I am also on this cruise and cant wait. This will be my 12th time on the Gem, she is my favorite ship of the fleet. I usually like to get there a little towards the later side because of the craziness at the port around 10am. Keep in mind this cruise leaves at 3pm so your paperwork will say board by 1pm. I would plan on getting to the port about 12:30 and you should breeze right through.

Have a blast !!! See you on board

I brought a folding wheelchair for my mother in law and nobody said a word.

Thanks Just me !!

What a great story !!! I love hearing all these wonderful love stories.

Happy anniversary and many many more:):):)

I love this story !!!! thanks for sharing.

September 2011 I took my sister on a cruise to get out of NY for the 10th anniversary of September 11th ( she is a survivor thank god......my heart goes out to all those that lost loved ones ) she was also going thru a long divorce so it seemed the best time to go.

We boarded on September 10th and the day of September 11th she meet a nice guy on the ship.Well a week of hanging out with him and seeing him here and there blossomed into a relationship over time.

Three years later we all booked a family cruise together and he proposed in the exact spot he first laid eyes on her on the same ship. It was very romantic.

They are now happily married and yes did the honeymoon on a cruise.

Thanks for sharing your story...........sometimes fate has a funny way of getting people together

Enjoy your cruise with your family !!!!

When getting off the breakaway in Dec did not need declaration forms

A woman lost her wedding ring in the spa on the dawn a few years back and she was besides herself!!! My husband went into the pool and searched for her and did find it, She was elated. The woman told the staff at the spa how my husband searched for it for her and they sent a bottle of wine to our room as a Thank you.

That was not necessary but it was a nice Gesture by NCL to thank people for helping others out.

Fast forward to this year my husbands necklace opened up in the pool and he lost a charm that was his fathers with sentimental value. We started to search the pool and as others realized we were looking for something everyone searched with us. We found the charm after about a half hour search but he was so happy to have it back !!!!

I am a strong believer in Karma

There is a small hand held one but it is not that powerfull!! I always bring my own

So sorry to hear of your news !!!! My feeling is Alaska...............I went for the first time last June and did not think I was going to enjoy it since I LOVE warm weather and it was an AMAZING trip!!!! Go for the forward facing penthouse you see everything close up with a full view and it is breathtaking. You can go inside when you are cold get a hot drink and still see everything from that cabin....

Good luck to you and your family sending positive vibes:)

Just off the breakaway on Sunday and I cant wait for the Sky in 46 More days !!!! I think I have an Addiction ;);p:D

Thanks so much for all your help and advice

Hi All

Does anyone know where you buy the Vibe passes on the Breakaway? Some people say Guest Services some say Headliners..Anyone purchase them lately? Where did you go to get them?

Any help would be appreciated thanks

That sounds amazing 28 people on that ship !!!! Please tell us more........

Is the casino open?

What rooms did they give you?

Is there entertainment ?

Safe travels and enjoy the few days on the ship!!! Its like having a private cruise.

Woohoo i am sailing with you in 2 weeks cant wait.......I have a large suitcase and yes it fits under the bed but as previous poster stated you might have to just lift the frame then in fits right under the bed

Glad you had a nice time!! Did you happen to notice what the hours were for the noodles bar? I hear they have restricted hours is that true?
