Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #126 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Platinum just got me past about 100 or so people... It won't be long now. Well, after going upstairs and waiting some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #127 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Getting closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #128 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I wondered why the very short line wasn't moving. They just announced a system wide computer outage. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenatorsFan Posted December 1, 2018 #129 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Oh, no, to be so close and yet still so far! Hope they get it resolved soon and you can get your Vibe pass and then a drink. Have fun!

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #130 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Computers are fixed and I'm upstairs in the waiting area. I'm about 100 feet from the ship, but still can't get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #131 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Now that I'm in waiting mode again, I will give you an update on the Fly-by pills. I would be lying to you if I said I wasn't a bit foggy today. According to my receipts I had 11 tequila based cocktails last night. I'm feeling it a little for sure. I'm going to try and pace myself a little better today. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just cycled over and over. I ended up having to uninstall and reinstall my entire browser. Anyhoo, I was scared there for a while... I've had a similar problem recently. The forums seem to behave better on Firefox than Chrome for me at the moment. Meantime I'm impressed with your cocktail consumption last night lol I think I better increase my budget for my visit to Miami in April... Will be there for 4 days 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #135 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I can finally breath again after the run for Vibe... I was standing at the boarding area and they hadn't yet made the announcement for Platinum, but people were going in. I went under the rope and proceeded towards the door and the guy tried to stop me. He said boarding starts around this way, I would have to go around. (Minutes earlier I had specifically asked exactly where it would begin, and he said right where I already was) Anyway, I just barged right past the guy who had given me the wrong information. I knew exactly the route I would take, and was the very first one to arrive at The Social. Attention please: There have been conflicting info on where the passes are sold. It is indeed The Social. They aren't giving out numbers, there is just a line. I suppose that when they're sold out, they'll just yell "sold out" Anyhoo, my first mission on board is a success. Now I'm off to find some food... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #137 Share Posted December 1, 2018 In addition. They now tie the Vibe access to your cruise card, instead of having an additional access card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #138 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Restaurant doesn't open until noon, so I went up to check out Vibe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAmome Posted December 1, 2018 #139 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Wow, this thread so far makes me interested in a map of your drink and dining locations! How did you decide where to go? Was it all walkable from hotel? This could be a DIY tour recommendation. Thanks for making this thread, very cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly1966 Posted December 1, 2018 #140 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Yay, so glad I remembered you were going to be on Bliss today. Since we always cruise Carnival, I am never on Norwegian board and I almost forgot. I was happy to see you already started your review and I cannot wait to follow along with your adventure. Thanks again for awesome reviews!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noworkforme23 Posted December 1, 2018 #143 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) I'm so jealous you were able to pack in just a roll on & backpack. I can't pack light no matter how hard I try. Have fun & thanks for the trip report !!! Loving it !!!! Edited December 1, 2018 by Noworkforme23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #144 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Different from Escape and the other away class ships, the entrance to Vibe has a new type of access device. Took me a minute to figure it out. You have to hold your card flat against it while keeping it very still. I'm going to start heading down to the MDR for a sit down lunch, which will hopefully last until rooms are ready. I'm lugging my backpack and carry on, so no buffet for me yet.

The connection in the dining room was abysmal, so I waited until I was done... Pictures incoming. My traditional first lunch on board is the chicken pho, crab stuffed potato skins, popcorn shrimp, and the grouper sandwich. Everything was fantastic. Hopefully the rooms will be announced soon so I can unburden myself from these bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 1, 2018 Author #149 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Pretty soon there's going to be a smoker's revolt. Due to the fueling barge alongside, smoking is only allowed for the time being in the cigar lounge. All the smoker's are pissed off because there's not enough room for all of them. Also, I did a quick run through the garden cafe and no folding chairs were present. Life as we have known it may continue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noworkforme23 Posted December 1, 2018 #150 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Thanks for the folding chairs in the garden cafe update. Are those grilled onions on top of the grouper sandwich? Yum!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
