This was our third cruise in a row on NCL; to Bermuda, Western and now in Eastern Caribbean. We love the Vibe, have been in it past two trips and know all details to make sure we get access. Not traveling with children makes this area right down our alley. This time NCL sold out the Vibe to a corporation before hand. There were no available openings for other cruisers. Used a lame excuse that we were late, but in actuality they gave passes to Lifeplus and even allowed their kids to enter. (it's a 21 and older area) Speaking to officers at meet and greet did no good... their benefit of bringing 750 people aboard.

Once over that initial shock/disappointment settled in for another good cruise. Lucked out on weather, previous week in islands had rough seas and had a major snowstorm in NE while we were away!

Embarkation was no problem, why should there be when you are second onboard trying to get Vibe Passes. Bags came one at a time but early enough so didn't pose any problem. Ate at Cheeseburger in Paradise, which was where Flamingo and Uptown were in previous cruises'. Away from the buffet crunch but this time $$.
