Now, I can stop calling daily to try to get them on our two Joy sailings we have booked. Perfect! Thank you! Once less thing for me to stress about LOL I have our two passes so we are good. Thank you so much for confirming for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems. I paid $289, still ok imo. I did not have to pre-pay; she just added it to my cruise final payment. She said I could pay for it either way.....it was easy. My reservation was through a ta. I called Ncl 2 days ago and booked a vibe pass which I was told would be added to the final payment. Ncl said my ta would be aware of this. Final payment went through today and the vibe pass was not paid for. Ta sent through the additional payment and said Ncl shouldn’t be adding it to ta final payments as they would have no way of knowing about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trivimp Posted July 13, 2022 #106 Share Posted July 13, 2022 This is awesome. I just booked a Vibe cabana through my regular PCC for our April 23 cruise on the Encore, a 15-day Panama Canal transit. The Guy is disabled, so we have never been able to do the Running For the Passes thing. Thanks for the heads-up!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not need to go through your TA to do this. I have a TA and called myself this week and so have many others. I paid with a credit card, and got my NCL confirmation while I was still on the phone with the agent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My NCL rep sent me a final statement with the final total, with the Vibe charge included. Now, I did call back and ask if I could pay for the Vibe pass now; I was told yes and paid for it. I was then sent another final statement with the vibe pass removed and it was charged to my CC. Thanks for your good info, I should be set. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I called NCL two days ago to book I was told since it had to be payed for in full at the time of booking. I was then sent an email conformation. The woman said since it was considered "Entertainment" it was payed for when booking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve called twice to pay for it separately, and been told “no need” each time. I’m booked they said. Maybe because I had enough “equity” in my deposit to cover the passes?

Strange Not sure what you mean with equity in your deposit. I paid a $1000 deposit for my regular balcony room and guessing I could have covered the Vibe passes but I would be worried about not paying it. Do you have a confirmation that you have it? I would be stressed. I would call back, speak to an agent and say you have read many people paying immediately and you want to do the same. Then wait with the agent on the phone while you receive your confirmation. 15 minutes ago, PegNRay said: My cruise was booked through ta.

What I said above, I would say the same here. That would stress me out especially not having confirmation. I would insist on paying in full LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own peace of mind I guess!!! agree but I did get my email confirmation showing I am reserved with total price identical to Laszlo post #109. My friend who booked only had minimum deposit down on cruise and they told him to pay. My point is maybe because I had $2k down they added the vibe price to my final payment and then marked it “paid” in system. But I will call again….third time may be a charm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you’ve called twice, and that in itself would drive me nuts. I’m so grateful I got someone on my first attempt who knew of the new process, booked my Vibe passes, took my money and sent me my email confirmation ( which my TA also sent me a copy of the next day!).
