Back to back cruises...different departure ports(and countries)

[Jeff Poulson]

Question for the group... before I call Royal.   Has any one done a back to back that left from 2 different ports AND countries?  Example..we are doing a 7 night Alaska cruise Sept 2023..disembark in Seattle on Oct 6.  We're scheduled to embark in Vancouver, BC on Oct 6 for a 9 night crossing to Hawaii.  

I'd love to think that we can stay on..it's the same cabin... and transition from Seattle to Vancouver Oct 6.  Am I delusional to think this is a possibility?

Normally they do Seattle - Vancouver on the last Alaska sailing before heading to Hawaii.

Yes, They will not allow you to stay on.  The main problem is that the second cruise ends in the US.  It is against the law to ferry a passenger from one US port to another on a foreign flagged vessel. 

The better question would be whether they would allow you to make your way from Seattle to Vancouver on your own to board for the second cruise.
