B2B Check In

[IzzyAslan]

Good Morning!

We are doing a B2B on the Wish. Our stateroom doesn't change.

Could someone tell me what the current procedures are ..do we disembark as a group with others doing B2B? Are we assigned a boarding group at Check-in, as we would for the first leg?

I also wonder if, because its B2B, if checking in at midnight for online checking, really matters and if I can just check in in the morning of check in date.(for boarding group assignment)

Thank you for any details. Other posts I found on this process were not detailed.

Doing a B2B next month on the Magic. Stayed up til midnight to check in for the first cruise. Just checked in for the second cruise a moment ago. PAT and BG for the second cruise don’t matter - we will be escorted off the ship after the first cruise and back on the ship for the second cruise as a B2B group.

You will be given info in your cabin for the meeting place after the first cruise. Everyone doing a B2B will meet, leave the ship together and reboard together.

I did a B2B on the Wish in February.

We were told to meet at The Bayou on deck 3 on the final morning of the first cruise. There, everyone was given a special ticket to get back on as a B2B guest. After everyone else debarked, we were escorted as a group to the exit. They took our Key to the World cards on the way out.

In the terminal, we all went through the regular check-in process. If you have DisneyBand+s, they need to be relinked for the next cruise. You'll need your passports, boarding document, etc.

Then, we had to wait around for a bit while they prepared for us to reboard.

Whoever was supposed to tell us that we could reboard didn't. Or, if they did, then it was very quiet, because nobody in my party heard the announcement. So, we boarded with concierge guests.

Marceline Market will give you free specialty coffee drinks when you get back onboard. Also, you can go to your stateroom, even if the barriers are still up.

I'm not sure how we're supposed to get our Key to the World cards back. I asked on the way off the first cruise and they told me to go to Guest Services after I reboarded. Guest Services told me that they usually hold them until the end of the cruise, but that they could get my cards if I really needed them for something. I let them keep the cards, then returned on the final night, as instructed, and they were surprised that I wanted to get my cards back at that time, but they got them for me without any hassle. I don't know if I would have gotten them back if I didn't go to GS. Maybe they automatically give them back when you leave the second cruise or something?

Anyway, your PAT and BG for the second cruise don't matter, so check in whenever and pick whatever.

I tend to lose my Key to the World Card at some point during the cruise and have to get a replacement (usually find it later in a pair of shorts I took off) --- I will make sure that happens on my upcoming B2B so when they confiscate my old card at debarkation I still have a souvenir copy.

Although it seems they are no longer issuing a KTTW card when you get on the ship if you are using a MagicBand+ so my scheme may be a moot point.

The KTTW card will be in an envelope in the fish/shell/etc. next to your stateroom door. I've never heard of them not issuing a KTTW card.

The Magic is testing it and the new KTTW cards are basically blank, with no dates or muster station info. It's supposed to be to "reduce waste", and if this rolls out fleetwide, I wouldn't be surprised if Castaway Club lanyards get phased out too.

I know that is the way things have been done --- However, I saw reports a week or so ago that people checking in were given the option of KTTW or DisneyBand+ activation and the KTTW was issued at the check-in desk.

Boo!

I guess I'll just have to choose KTTW card and then activate my band later. Unless the card is blank. Then, there's not much point.

I like how "reducing waste" means "spending $45 per person", too.
