RCIfan1912 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 There are 2 shorter cruises I'm looking at for 2021, a 4 day to Canada and then 5 days to Bermuda. Thinking about possibly, I mean still a long shot but thinking about a back to back cruise. Please any info you think I need to know before booking a back to back. Any info you can think of, financial or otherwise? Thanks for any advice. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neesa Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Book the same cabin makes transitioning so easy. Be ready for an amazing feeling when everyone else is going home and big time deja vu, menus, shows, CD jokes. It's a wonderful experience in my opinion, I love them. Did I say keep the same cabin? Yes @teddy is correct book at same time too. The beauty of keeping the same cabin is leaving your cabin unpacked, just walk off with your documents and identification/passport it's the greatest feeling!

teddy Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 I suggest booking both at the same time. I’m currently on Adventure and staying onboard for the next cruise. I didn’t book both at the same time, so I don’t have the same room, although Michelle at MEI did get me the second room very close to the first. More than getting the same room, booking both at the same time ensures Royal realizes you are doing a consecutive cruise. Even after talking to Guest Services, I’m not 100% confident my transition from the first to the second will be flawless.

RCIfan1912 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks guys, appreciate the info. Definitely would book at the same time, and really would like the same cabin. Yeah these are cruises from NJ/Cape liberty. Have to think about the financials of it all also. 2 deposits and final payment just about the same day or very close. I love the idea though so maybe we can make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was such a great experience to be on the ship for so long. RCIfan1912 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Since airfare is a big part of the overall cruising expense for us , I helped justify the second cruise by saying, “I’m already there, so I don’t need to buy another plane ticket”.

Allen2 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 One other thing: Royal issues a set of instructions in writing (what to do, when, where), and often holds a meeting with a B2Bers. Neesa and RCIfan1912 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summer Bee Sweet Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I’ve done 3 B2b, with one more planned. Twice we left the ship (used it like a port day in San Juan) and once stayed on the ship. Had a nice lunch in the dinning room at noon that was over when rooms opened up. If you don’t change rooms, your cabin attendant will greatly appreciate it if you tell them to skip your room that day. KristiZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
