Hi.
I just booked my family of 5 (first time cruisers) on this cruie. Its a suprise for my entire fmaily (husband included). I decided to book a stay at Disney fore three days prior to the cruise. I booked it seperately through Disney.
Now I am trying to figure everything out.
How to get from Disney to Port Canaveral? Car vs Magical Express
What is the bets time to check-in?
What excursions are a "must do" or share hints on how to make the most of our short cruise.
I have three kids, 12, 10, 5 and I dont know anything about cruising- so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!
We're doing the same thing. Just booked this part of the back to back today.
Ditto! We're on the DVC cruise too. Have never done a B2B before. Trying to make my way to platinum quicker so this would be an easy way to do it.
This will be our second back-to-back. Did it for the January Member Cruise, and it worked so well for us that we decided to do it again. Member Cruises are just too short!
Do you have to get off the ship when you do b2b?
You have to leave the ship by around 8:30 or 9:00 or so to go through customs. If you are in the same cabin for the second cruise, you do not need to pack or take anything other than your documents (passport, new cruise docs, etc) with you. If you are changing cabins, you will need to pack, but your cabin steward will move the luggage for you (you will of course have to unpack it in your new cabin). You go through customs and immediately take the escalator back into the terminal. You will check in for your second cruise, getting a new KTTW card. At that point, you will be grouped together for about an hour or so in the terminal. After they board the Family of the Day, you will be able to get back on the ship, ahead of the other cruisers. I spent the time in the terminal reading the Navigator for the day, and reading a book. Pretty easy process, especially if you are not changing cabins.
