Most likely, yes.  The only time I have known of B2Bers not having to physically disembark on turnaround day was when there was a very large B2B group, in which case CBP came onto the ship to process the B2Bers.  It is extremely rare for that to happen. 99% that you will be required to shortly disembark and reboard.  But you will be permitted to go to your cabin (if you wish) immediately.  You will not have to wait until 1:00 like the newbies.

Good information. Sorry if my comment may have been misleading. Personally, we did not have to disembark. We must have been part of a large B2B group.

Mamie,

I just got back from a back to back cruise in January and we did not have to disembark and embark again. You could either go off in the port and board again like a regular port or you could stay on the boat. 

I personally enjoy back to back cruises. I recommend staying in the same stateroom for both segments, otherwise you will have to pack and unpack, which is no fun.

I have a personal blog where I covered this topic in depth here if you would like to check it out. I also have done a lot of research into various back to back itineraries offered in 2021 and have laid them out here because I know how hard it can be to find these specific cruises.

I hope these tips help!
