deep1 Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 I have done my homework and have a base understanding of an ordinary b2b. Where my question(s) come in is in the first case is that they aren't closed loop. One departs Seward, Alaska and ends up in Vancouver, Canada. The next departs Vancouver back to Seward. Is the process any different than say Miami RT and Miami RT as a B2B? The next is kind of dreaming big. Vancouver Canada ending in Hawaii followed by a trans Pacific . Same question... Are there different processes than a "Normal B2B"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditchdoc Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Other than the Jones Act that forbids a foreign flagged ship from sailing from a US port to a US port without stopping at a foreign port, no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverk Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 In a somewhat related question, if deep1 wanted to get off the ship between the sailings and tour the town, how would he/she do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is treated like a normal disembarkation. You would leave the ship as if it was your final destination and then return to the ship and go through the embarkation process as if it was your initial point of departure. Royal treats B2B as if it is two separate cruises and you do check in on both cruises and they issue two set sail passes. Staying on the ship for a B2B is the same disembarkation/embarkation process except they do it in a lounge or separate area and most times you have to actually leave the ship proper and turn around and walk back on for customs purposes and saying that all passengers have gotten off. steverk and deep1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about that but was curious about ending and starting from a foreign port as possibly being different... Instead of the foreign port just being a port of call.

Pattycruise Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 You are right to ask this question. I feel like this was asked here recently . Maybe change the title to reflect Alaska/Vancouver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
