sun, sand, cocktail Posted January 11, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hi, I’m going on the Joy in March so am also curious. According to the Joy’s deck plan shown on the NCL website, there is a public sun area outside Vibe. I haven’t been on Joy yet, but have been on Escape and Bliss that had a similar area with its own bar and hot tub. There is also a Spice H2O on the Joy which is usually a nice quiet place to sun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the ship was retro fitted for the US market they expanding the Vibe to include that area. So the Haven gets the front half and the Vibe the rest..

Sounds like Joy's Vibe is similar to Encore's. @curlstravel might want to look at the Encore deck plans to see it.

JandC_Cruising Posted January 11, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 11, 2023 As others have said, the deckplan on the NCL site for the Vibe is inaccurate. Here is a video on Youtube that is a fly-over of the Joy. You can see the Vibe area clearly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The accurate answer to this question is YES there are seats outside of vibe that anyone can use, but NO...not like on the Norwegian Bliss. Here is a screengrab from the previously posted video. I've marked the chairs that are outside of the Vibe...looks to be about 14 loungers outside of the Vibe entrance. On the Bliss, there are chairs outside of the Vibe, but the area (and thus the number of chairs) is larger than on the Joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a chance because: --Some people may get on the ship and ask to cancel a pass they purchased online thus making it available --Some unsold passes may have been held back and are available (people have said they save some, and other people have said they don't and neither has been officially confirmed) So it doesn't hurt to ask. I would also advise that if they tell you there are no passes, that you request to be added to a wait list for the passes in case a cancellation causes one to be made available.

There is always a chance, as @SeaShark was implying. But by all accounts the passes are sold in advance and when they sell out, they are gone. Any reports of buying on board seem to be the exception, not the rule. It's not like dining reservations where some are held for sale on the ship (at least there has been no affirmative confirmation of such hold backs). If I couldn't buy in advance, I would keep checking, like everyday, and then I would get on the ship as early as possible and go straight to customer service and ask there.
