Should be no different from a b2b elsewhere. You'll get instructions from Royal the last cruise day before you get to the embarkation port. Very easy, all the b2bers get off the ship together, get a new sea pass card and then reboard ahead of the rest of the cruisers. The reason you have to get off the ship is to clear you out off the computer passenger list so it shows a 0 count. Very painless and not a lot of time. Enjoy!

Why are strippers like a boat? Because they don't work if you stop throwing money at them!

This summer we are booked on the Explorer OTS to cruise the Greek Islands and we are flying into Venice. Looking for travel recommendations from Venice to the port at Ravenna. Anyone done this? Thanks. rjac PS - HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Count us in! We love the 270 cafe and venue. Not crowded at lunch and you can find the kummelweck sandwich there also!

Hi, my name is Robert and I am a thalassophile.

Heading to Greece next July. There will be five of us, 3 adults and 2 teens. Would appreciate some hotel recommendations near the port in Ravenna. Molto grazie!

Come on folks, anybody?

We were at Trunk Bay in April of 2013, had a fantastic time. Really enjoyed the snorkeling course that is marked very well and not too deep water. What was more fascinating were the pelicans. Our travel group was 10 adults and we would be in waist deep water with schools of small fish swimming near us. The pelicans would dive right into them less than 20' away from us and come up with a full mouth pouch of fish! They didn't mind us at all. I recommend Googling Trunk Bay.

You will spend A LOT of time standing in line either the day before or day of disembarkation when paying in cash. Best and easiest way is to set up your on board account with a credit card. No standing in line.

My wife and I along with our daughter and two grands will be on the Explorer OTS next July. We will be embarking and disembarking in Venice. The islands we will be visiting are Santorini, Mykonos, Athens and Olympia(Katakonos). The questions I have are: 1. Do the beaches excursions by Royal have lounge chairs, umbrellas, bathrooms, snack/drink bar? 2. What is the duration of these beach excursions? I appreciate your comments, this is our first trip to Greece. rjac

Good deal, grab it while you can!

True Story

Why don't people like Dracula? Because he's a pain in the neck.

Hope this doesn't offend anyone.

I don't think it matters what port you are embarking from if you're staying on the same ship. We have done many b2bs and that's the only way we like to cruise!

Ok, what's the new link?

This past week I find that I have to log in every time I visit this board in order to post a comment. Has something changed, have I been a bad boy, have I pissed off someone in charge, did the $10,000.00 check I sent bounce? Just wondering.......
