How Back-To-Back Cruises Work With Disney Cruise Line

[JJZMgailey]

Learn how back-to-back Disney cruises work, from staying in the same stateroom to early reboarding, for a seamless way to extend your time at sea. I've got a new article up explaining how it all works and there's a DCL Show too!

How does DCL know you are doing a B2B cruise?

How does DCL know you are doing a B2B cruise?

Automagically. In the old days, they didn't always know but now their reservation systems allow them to see it while you are on the first cruise.

Any data as to the number of B2B cruisers each cruise?

Any data as to the number of B2B cruisers each cruise?

We did the 10 night on the Magic followed by a 5 night and there were less than 15 people doing both cruises. Might be more people doing B2B on cheaper cruises - the 10 night was an expensive one.

How a B2B works at one port or on one ship does not necessarily mean that is how it will be on a future trip. I’ve been on a bunch and they were all a bit different. Pack your patience and you’ll do well.

There were about 45 people doing the same B2B as us. I was surprised that there were so many!

Thanks for that info. I've often wondered how frequent this happens, and of course thought of doing B2Bs.

Thanks, your post had the info I was looking for on what happens with your luggage if you need to switch rooms. We are doing a B2B on the Destiny in April 2026 but are trying out two different room sizes with our family of five.

We did a B2B in/out of Puerto Rico a few years ago. We treated the "switch day" as a port day and did a local excursion (not Disney). No one says you have to get right back on the ship.

Unless it has changed, if you are changing rooms you have to completely pack up and leave your luggage in your room. They will move it for you.
