Although Vibe locations don&#8217;t have pools, they do have hot tubs; ships in the line&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/norwegian-cruise-ship-class-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Prima Class<\/a> are outfitted with infinity-style tubs.<\/p>\n<p>Vibe&#8217;s top-deck alfresco location allows for fantastic ocean views \u2014 especially on ships where the area features a two-deck layout.<\/p>\n<p>Space is limited, but because Vibe is outdoors, its popularity depends on the sailing region. If your ship is Alaska-bound, fewer people will be clamoring for the available spots. If you&#8217;re booked on a Caribbean sailing, however, you&#8217;ll want to reserve in advance or as soon as you board your ship if you don&#8217;t want to miss out.<\/p>\n<p>Hours vary by sailing.
