According to some of the Carnival staff, the B2B procedure varies by port. In Port Canaveral, we got fully off and then back on the ship. We got the new card just before leaving the ship. in Galveston we met the custom officers in the midship restaurant, cleared customs, and got the new keys without debarking the ship. Took about 15 minutes.

I just got off a back to back on the Sunshine and I never had to leave the boat. Just went to the dining room met with customs took picture and done.

I definitely prefer a long cruise to a back-to-back. It's a really weird feeling when people are just starting their vacation and you are in the middle of yours onboard.

@bobhowe2234 Жыл бұрын

Back to back is the only way to go!

@DenaInWyo Жыл бұрын

When you have to fly to port, a B2B is really a cost effective way to vacation! Especially when you've got casino deals...

Big Nikolai is the best! Got to know him on the Valor last summer. Can’t wait to see him again.

@richsamuel2922 Жыл бұрын

I do like the idea of B2B BUT I think I would do a different ship most likely a different line.

@debbiepowell8172 Жыл бұрын

We have done b2b and are doing it again in January. It’s great but I think one person from customs could board the ship and scan everyone in a lot easier that all the cruisers getting off and going through customs. There were several folks in wheelchairs and crew members pushed them off and on. It just makes a lot of work that could be avoided.

We just did a back-to-back with Carnival on the Legend in Baltimore December 11 to 18 and 18 to 26. Except for sitting waiting in the Alchemy bar for about an hour, the process was quick and easy. We had already gotten passes in our cabin a couple days before that we could use to get off the ship so that we didn't have to show any paperwork. They gave us our new keys and took our pictures. Then we were led into the foyer where the Christmas tree was and given a glass of champagne. They took our picture toasting in front of the tree. Forgot to add that before we got the champagne, an immigration officer checked our passports. There were less than twenty of us, so it went quickly. We got off the ship to go to our car to pick up the two bottles of wine we were allowed to bring on board. It took about five minutes to get back onto the ship because our little pass let us zip through.

We have done 3 B2Bs. One pre-COVID and to post COVID. The first one was GREAT, the first post COVID was a bit slow because we were on the 3rd cruise after they restarted. The boarding for B2Bs changed 5 times in a 2 day period and was finalized that morning. 5 months later was much better and was far better and about the same as Pre-COVID. Once you got back on it is time for a BURRITO. It is so weird to be almost alone on the ship.

On MSC Preziosa in September 2018 we just went off the ship to explore the port then reembarked via Customs, easy! NB we changed cabins a day picked up our new cards before getting off.

@davidhoffman8122 Жыл бұрын

We have done 3 B2Bs and we LOVE doing them. We are doing our 4th B2B in July 2024 out of New Orleans. The last B2B we did on the Horizon there were only 10 B2Bs and it was only a 10 minute process. B2Bs ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@markwilkerson1487 Жыл бұрын

Something fun we tried to organize on our b2b but didn't get it done. Y'all should do it on your next b2b. Go down to disembark and embark in your bath robes and flip flops. If you could get a group to do it. It would be hilarious. Waving to everyone waiting to board from that second level.

@kakk00 Жыл бұрын

Is it often cheaper to book a back to back versus just booking a longer cruise to begin with.? Just curious why so many people do it.

@heideleskun1163 Жыл бұрын

Changing cabins isn't too bad if you are just moving a few rooms like we did. We had issues with our b2b, double key cards, some people had new pictures some didn't we had to retake pictures half way through the 2nd half but we never had to leave the ship. We were cleared in the theater and our second leg was a reposition so that was weird.

I am surprised you had to do the muster drill again. I have a b2b next week with MSC and we don't have to do the drill again.

When I did a B2B on the CCL Legend in Baltimore, my family stayed on the ship. We thought that the B2B process you did was right, but we stayed in the lobby. (It was also the Legend's 25th birthday)

Hey, what a great insight into a B2B, we are doing one Sept 2023 with Carnival in Civitavecchia, although we know our 1st cruise stateroom number we still don't know the 2nd cruise stateroom number. Both cruises are Elite but the 2nd one was TBA on the stateroom. Thanks for all the fab info, xx
