KevinJ Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 With the higher DBP prices I'm starting to look at alternatives. Using my 4 vouchers, and my wife's 4 since she doesn't drink, I'm mostly covered. However what to do when I'm cruising solo? Since I like to have one or two glasses of wine with dinner, I figure I can cover that by bringing on my two bottles. What do people do when sailing B2B?

KevinJ Posted June 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Thanks @smokeybandit I didn't even think of searching the royal site, I've not had good luck there. My son decided to book a solo before our January cruise so I can have him bring two bottles for me as well as I suppose they aren't going to check that he's moving into our cabin for the second cruise.

As long as he has documentation that he has 2 cruises booked, he can bring 4 bottles - 2 will be taken away and delivered to his cabin for the 2nd cruise. Hopefully, they won't notice if there are already some being held for your cabin for the 2nd one. CruisingOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobroo Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 When doing a B2B whether solo or otherwise, I always plan to hit a drugstore, liquor store, and maybe even a bank while in port in between both cruises. Chances are strong I'll need to pick up something from a Walgreens/CVS and if they sell wine--bonus! For me this is a planned event it is not "shopping". I will do research where the the closest stores are that have wine, toothpaste, and safety pins I need. I have that address written down and maybe the address of the bank branch that's closest. Once I get the new sea pass for cruise #2 I go outside a grab a cab or an Uber and give them the address I need. Important: I make them wait for me to return; their meter is running. I can tell you a good story how I got "stuck" in Miami last November getting my eyeglasses repaired and buying wine for the next voyage. Total honesty: I have never needed to go to a Chase Bank in-between cruises, it is only a fantasy that I would have won so much cash in the casino the week prior that I need to make a deposit. But I like having lots of options... A way someone who wants to save money on a drink package when doing a B2B might try this. I have never done it, but I'm pretty sure it works just fine. On your first leg go and buy some yourself some bottle(s) of booze. Something you like to drink straight up or w/ water, nothing fancy pants. Be it at a port stop or in Royals little liquor store onboard. Allow them to confiscate it and on the last night of cruise one Royal will send someone around to personally deliver your hooch; the hooch you'll being enjoying during cruise #2.

I've often wondered this myself. Royal site claims a B2B is treated as two completely different events, and are not linked in their system, so to me this should work. Anyone with first had experience out there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattycruise Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I’ve no idea if the seapass card is flagged to show a B2B but on a recent sailing (not a B2B) I purchased alcohol after 3pm on the final full day and they let me walk out of the shop with it. The same thing happened to a friend on a different ship. They said it was too late to set it up for room delivery. Swar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
