  1. I do B2B cruises all the time.  Years ago you could stay on ship and customs came aboard to check your passport, etc.  But I haven't had that in years.  Always get off with the whole group of B2B cruisers.  Often wait in room before getting back on ship after customs clears ship.  But B2B cruisers are the first to be let back on the ship!  Even before suite and Pinnacle passengers.  

  2. Usually with a Royal Up to suite you will get Jr Suite.  I personally have never got any Royal Up that I bid on.  And I have bid the maximum amount several times.  So may depend on who bid first?  or who is already in a suite?  how much you originally paid?   I have no idea.  But I kinda of gave up on them.  I usually book Jr Suites anyway.  Good Luck

  3. I have had to cancel 2 cruises because of medical reasons.  I have always got a full refund.  But it takes time and documentation is needed to verify.  Doctor has to sign a paper or have papers showing  you saw doctor.  Usually saying that doctor does not recommend travel .  You are dealing with an insurance company and they need to verify.  And have a backup of claims probably, so they review them in order received usually.  The insurance is definitely worth it.  I would have lost thousands without it.

    You can get free specialty coffee virtually 24/7 from the Crown Lounge coffee machine (self-serve). No need to use a voucher.

    That machine is probably my 2nd favorite perk after the vouchers.

    The coffees available in Crown lounge is limited.  Lattes mainly.  If you want flavors. almond milk, whip cream, or other things you need to go to different venue.

  5. I need a roller bag for carry on.   Shoulder and knee issues with carrying a bag.  I always get ones with 4 wheels, either soft or hard.  I have several pieces of luggage depending on the trip and how long I will be gone.  There are lots of styles and makes available for everyone's need.  I just do not buy inexpensive luggage.  You often get what you pay for.  And good luggage goes on sale often.

  6. Lots of ships are sailing now full.   Not an issue.  Especially on a new ship.   But as previous responder said, the pools on sea days are always busy, even when ship is not full.  As is the Windjammer at peak times.   I have been on many full ships and really no issue.  I am sailing on Icon in September for the first time and can't wait.

  7. I have done many B2B cruises.  You will get the procedures in your cabin.  And they vary depending, I think< on the port.  I have done a couple where you stay on ship and go thru customs and then to a lunch.  But past few years we have had to get off ship for customs.  You will be the first passengers back on the ship once customs has cleared the ship.  Might be 15 minutes or an hour. If you are in the same cabin you do not have to do anything with packing.  But if you are changing cabins the room attendant will move your things to the new cabin for you.  I leave my hanging clothes.  But usually throw my shoes and other smaller things in a suitcase.   I leave them all together in 1 area.  Usually next to closet with hanging clothes.  I do B2B cruises every year.  Have fun!
