This is a review of Norwegian Cruise Line’s Vibe Beach Club. more
On both Breakaway and Getaway, private cabanas are available for rent within Vibe Beach Club, each designed to hold two passengers. While the cabanas do offer privacy, they aren’t designed in such a way as to offer an escape from the sun should it be shining directly on you, whereas those on the regular loungers can either open a nearby umbrella or move to a more shaded location when the sun gets to be too much.
So what makes access to the Beach Club such a hot ticket? Exclusivity.
The Vibe Beach Club on Norwegian Cruise Line is an exclusive space for adults 18 and over. Although the location varies by ship, each club manages to achieve a quiet, laid-back atmosphere and the feeling of being worlds away. Passengers who snag access are pampered with padded loungers, whirlpools and sweeping ocean views -- and stay refreshed with complimentary chilled towels, fruit skewers, water spritzers and a bar serving up a wide range of cocktails. more
Imagine not having to deal with chair hogs, wait too long for a drink or worry about kids in the hot tub. Vibe Beach Club, an adults-only sun deck on select Norwegian Cruise Line ships, offers a limited number of passes on each sailing, so it never feels crowded. Escape for the day or splurge on a weeklong pass for a taste of the highlife.
The area itself is both functional and stylish. Deck chairs, which are faux wicker and padded, come in a mix of standard lounge chairs, larger day beds with pillows and seating arrangements of chairs and coffee tables. Smaller cocktail tables are sprinkled throughout. Cabanas are essentially teak cocoons and include a large cushioned lounger with pillows, two built-in tables and privacy gates. While there's no pool, there is a large shower where passengers can go to cool off or rinse after a soak in the hot tub.
Breakaway-class ships' Vibe Beach Clubs also boast cozy cabanas, which can be rented by the day or for the duration of your cruise. Sea day and port day rentals each come with a $30 food and beverage credit to be used in Vibe, while full-cruise rentals include a $100 credit. Cabanas come with a special food menu; food is not offered in Vibe otherwise. (Note: Only a handful of cabanas are available on each ship.) There are no cabanas on Norwegian Escape.
Feast on lobster rolls. Explore the craggy shores of Nova Scotia. Or count lighthouses.

4. If you wind up NOT being able to get Vibe passes, the bar just outside Vibe (basically, it’s an extension of the Vibe bar) is a pretty good spot to hang. here
2. The Manhattan Room is amazing. While the menus in all the dining rooms are the same, the atmosphere in the Manhttan Room is wonderful (and they have live music most nights!) more
5. On sea days, check the Daily. Generally, they set up a special buffet in Moderno. One day, it might be Mediterranian themed. Another, it’ll be Tastes of India. It’s free, and it’s awesome. But it has limited hours and isn’t really publicized too much. here
Taste and Savor are great alternatives.
