B2B - Which order do you prefer?

[n2mm]

I've been reading everything about doing a B2B cruise and have been crunching the numbers. Looks doeable. However, I'm looking at Feb/Mar 2016, so soon. I keep thinking that a 3 night/4 night would be a better way, but unfortunately I can only match up same rooms in a 4 night/3 night. Is that an order that other B2B cruisers like better, or is this not even an issue. I keep thinking that having the 4 night second, would be more relaxing, but maybe I'm over thinking this.......Love to hear some opinions.

I just booked a b2b and chose the 4 night first since it gives us a whole weekend before the cruise to spend in advance so we'll feel less rushed.

Is this your first B2B?

Why a b2b dream instead of a 7 night fantasy?

We are doing a B2B on the Magic, a 5 night first, and then a 4 night

We did it because we saved $1800.00 and we get to go to CC 2 times(hopefully).

Tortola just didn't interest us. Maybe the zipline, but at $400 for 3 people?

Exactly. Its cheaper, we just did the 7 night 3 months ago, 2 castaway visits, and it gets us a little closer to platium. Also it's just the 2 of us, so thought it would be a good time to give it a try since the kids and grandkids are not going. However, if a discount got released to be near the same price, we would do another 7 night instead.

We did the 4 night/3-night B2B on the Dream and was very happy to have done it in that order. The 4 night was a more relaxed feeling overall and we used that cruise to eat in all the MDRs and see the shows. Then on the 3-night, which had a much more rushed feel, we did all the things that other people weren't, LOL. We played mini golf, rode the Aquaduck at night when people were at dinner, etc. We were able to pick and choose the things we wanted to repeat and then use the rest of the time doing other things (while people were rushing off to dinner and the shows).

Thanks for the info. I was thinking along the same line. Do a few shows if we want and skip them on the second cruise. Still hanging back to see if there are any last minute 7 night discounts on Feb. There seems to be alot of available cabins on several of the later dates in February. Obviously if I can get a 7 night for the same price as a B2B, I may do that.
