NCL Getaway Vibe Beach Club

[Khaloud]

Hey all. We are going on the getaway in December and maybe get the vibe beach club. Is it worth it? Pros and cons? And what time does it close?

[KKB]

It can be.

I did it for 2 weeks summer 2022 & it wasn't for me. Biggest issue is that there is no pool. There are 2 spas, but that doesn't cool one down much.

 

I believe it was open like 9-7? I think you could go anytime, but that was bar service time.

The best part about it is that it is never crowded & there are no children. Great service.

NCL pool decks always seem to be much too small for the number of passengers.

If you don't mind that there is no actual pool, then it is probably worth it.

For it to be worth it you have to want to sit outside quite a bit. I’ve done my time in the sun, so it’s not for us.

If your traveling when the kiddos are off from school it is worth it.

Weather >> Crapshoot

Lost 4-5 Vibe days (of 15) last November to inclement nastiness aboard Getaway.

(We KNEW it was a crapshoot when we purchased).

Well worth it when we were able to use it.

For us, it is always worth it.   We would not sail on a ship which has one without getting the passes.    I just think of the cost of it as a very long and multi-day excursion.

Are there shaded areas or umbrellas in the vibe?

Yes they have umbrellas and you can ask for help in getting them situated. If it’s super windy they don’t allow them though (from what I read online).

If it's windy is there any shade other than using an umbrella?

Without umbrellas and aside from the bar which is very shaded, no it’s a very sunny deck unless you have a cabana.  These vary a lot by ship but on Joy you could get quite a lot of shade in the cabana.
