Vibe vs. Spice H20

[cruiseJMO]

I've never cruised with Norwegian; currently trying to plan one out on the Escape.

Will some of you NCL experts be kind enough to help fill me in on all of the differences in these two adults only areas (Vibe & Spice H20)? Also, are the age restrictions being strictly enforced? (I hope so.)

Age restrictions are enforced. H2O has regular chairs, a bar, two hot tubs and possibly something that resembles a pool. Vibe is much more secluded and posh, much less crowded. Vibe has a bar, 2 hot tubs, padded loungers and umbrellas, and padded beds. Rarely an issue getting a lounger as there is in H2O. No pool in Vibe. There are also clamshells which protect from the wind, which can often be quite a lot. For me, Vibe is the best $79 I'll spend. H2O if free.

$79 for the duration of the cruise or??

I plan on trying to get the Vibe passes, but if they're already sold out, I'm going to feel like I need to know what I'm missing.

I've always been able to get them boarding in group 14 or so.....but I do head straight for guest services before lunch. It $79 for a week long cruise.
