Do I need to link B2B cruises ?

[wendlle]

I've booked a B2B cruise on the Adventure, same room. Just wondering if I need to do anything? Also I don't know my Husband or my kids Castaway numbers (they have cruised before) any ideas on how to get them without calling? I'm in Australia and don't have international calls as part of my plan.

I always have my B2B cruises linked. Not sure you have to, but it has always seemed to make things smoother onboard.

The kids CC account numbers autopopulated in the fields when I booked our second cruise with the kids.

Disney knows you are B2B. I didn't do anything special for mine last year or the one we are doing next month.

How do you link them?

We use Costco travel and I have them call DCL to link them.

Can I ask what you mean by smoother onboard? We did a B2B last year (and doing another in a few weeks). We didn't link anything and our B2B was amazing. No issues and seamless check in and re-boarding.

We booked a back to back … we booked the first cruise on opening day and booked the second one over a year later when it went to GTD status. Both cruises were booked online and we did nothing special and Disney knew we were back to back.

We received a letter in our stateroom the day before the transition stating what to do. Our service team at dinner knew we were back to back and approached us to let us know we would be in their section on the second cruise as well. And our stateroom host also knew we were b2b and let us he would move our bags to the new stateroom (we switched rooms).

Means I haven’t had to go to guest services once to fix something pertaining to being B2B - and we have sailed multiple B2B cruises. We use Costco travel for all our cruises, and they have called DCL to link all of our B2B cruises for us - their suggestion. It may be fine skipping that step - but I am not going to stop Costco travel from contacting DCL to make sure they know we are sailing B2B!

Yeah, we didn't do anything either. Our head waiter checked in with us part way through the cruise to see if we wanted to keep our servers and our room steward discussed it with us too (as technically DS was moving rooms, but in truth, he was already in my room) but that was it.

If a current process works, one should keep it, but that doesn't mean it has to be the process for everyone.

Gotcha thanks! We had no issues at all either!
