Booking a cruise starting on a day of disembark

[Chipmunkmaniac]

So we are booked on a b2b wish for September but wanna do the Magic that gets back to pc on the day our first Wish leaves. Same port, different terminal so if no issues with the weather or so no problem… however when we try to book it it shows us rooms until we log in, then we arent able to pick a room.
Does their site not allow it? Anyone been in a similar situation and able to overrode over the phone?
Im calling from Europe (time difference) so wont be able to call til Monday…

That's referred to as a side-by-side cruise (B2B is same ship), and I've definitely heard of people doing it. But not sure how they booked it. Maybe using a TA?

It sounds more like a DCL website problem. Try using the incognito mode on your browser, a different computer or a different browser.

I was really surprised the system doesnt allow it, i could get it if its a different port but same port… done plenty of b2b (this will be cruise 32) but never done or attemoted a side by side… im def calling them but want to have my expectation set right lol

What is the embarkation port for the Magic?

Well it is once i log in (so basically the system knows we have that Wish cruise) Same happens when my friend does it. If we try to grab a room without logging in its all fine… thats why we assume it has to do with that Wish cruise

Pc-nassau-lhp-cc-pc are the ports so def no legal issue

It might be that the system has an automatic barrier that people can’t book two cruises that cover the same days, except on the same ship. Until very recently there would have never been an opportunity to do what you want to do, so they never thought about unblocking the last and first day of a cruise.

Hope you get a resolution once you call!

I ended up calling today and they could book it for us without any issues!

What are you planning to do between getting off one ship and PAT for other ship?

My pat is always boarding group 2 cause Im Pearl. Dragging atound on the Magic til 9.30 and then heading over to the Wish. Between oicking up suitcases going through the officials and changing terminals it shouldnt be too much of a wait

There's really no reason that someone couldn't book S2S cruises - one ending on the same day a second one begins. Even if they are in different ports. It's on the passenger to decide if he/she can make it between the two in a timely manner.

I meant that the system tried to prevent booking two cruises that really overlapped.
