Here's a reason to board early.... first one at the pool!

I agree but the best is when we did a Back2Back in July of 2008, We did a 4 night first, then followed with a 3 night. The 4 night had 2 stops at CC. When the 4 night ended, we all met at the shore excursion desk, we had about 20 peeps that we met on our very First DCL cruise and are still close with all of them, they are truly great people and friends. There was also a group of 10 people that we did not know, who were also doing B2B. But I will tell you that it was so easy, after we all gathered at Shore Excursion desk, they took us to were you would go down the escalator and checked us all in then we were allowed to board again, and I will say it was awesome having the whole ship to ourselves watching everyone arriving and I know they were all wondering how we got on the ship so early. They had the Cove Cafe and the Beach Blanket buffet open for us as well as the Quiet Cove pool was open and we were able to use it and for the young kids the Splash Zone was open. Our room was ready early for all of us, I had forgot to take my swimsuit out and went to guest services to see if I could just get my swimsuit, but instead they told me to go to my room and within 10 minutes I had all our luggage in our room before anyone even boarded the ship. I would have to say if you get a chance to do a B2b, definitely do it. The only thing that I did not like was going to Nassau twice, personally I thought Nassau was not that great, it reminded me of the South Bronx. It was also a great time to walk around the ship and explore and take nice pictures not worrying about anyone walking in front of your shot. We took a nice group photo in front of Triton's. The guy who took care of our group told us that our group and the other group of ten was the largest Back2Back group DCL ever had. We also took a group shot in front of model ship in the terminal. All in all we had a great week on the ship, I should say it was the 1st cruise for my Dsons, who at the time were(11 and 4). They did not want to go but once they met the other kids from our group that changed quickly, once on the ship I hardly saw my oldest son, who spent a lot of time in the clubs. When the cruise ended my oldest son was actually crying because we had to get off the ship and kept asking if we could stay on and go again, thats all he talks about now is when our we going on the Disney ship again. After we got off the ship myself, Dw, Ds(11),and Ds(4) hopped in our Limo and to Disney for our kids 1st trip to WDW, we are Dvc members so we stayed at the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge and let me say it was beautiful and my kids had a blast. I think it was the best 2 weeks of their lives. All they talked about for weeks after our vacation ended was the cruise this and the cruise that, and WDW was awesome. I am really glad that they had a great time and we were able to make it happen for them....They cant wait to go on the Disney Dream ship when it comes out in 2011.
If anyone has any questions about B2B cruises feel free to contact me or send me a private message. Sorry it is so long of a comment but I like to be very detailed when I explain things.
