Just Booked Our First B2B, Questions

[mhconley]

Due to extenuating circumstances we had to postpone our Southern Caribbean from April 2017 to January 2018. We booked the January 28, 2018 7-night Southern Caribbean on the Wonder. Today we added the February 4, 2018 San Juan to Port Canaveral repositioning cruise. So we now have 11-nights with 3 sea days and a stop at Castaway Cay. I booked the same 5A stateroom for both cruises, 7050.

Between cruises can we leave everything in the stateroom? How long will we need to leave the ship?

Thanks,
Martin

We have sailed back to back before and booked the same room. You can leave everything in your room, you have to exit the ship....last ones to do so and wait in the terminal for maybe an hour or less then you board again before everyone else does and you have a little time to yourself on an almost empty ship! It's great! We are sailing the Southern Caribbean cruise in April 2017. Good luck and enjoy!

We did the same cruise B2B earlier this year. It was absolutely wonderful. Since you are in the same cabin, you will keep everything in your room. You have the option of returning to the ship or going on an excursion. The excursions weren't provided until a few days prior to the return cruise. If you want to get back on, you will meet in a lounge and then after all of the other passengers are off, you will be escorted off the ship, through customs and back upstairs to check in again for the next cruise. Once that happens, it is only about a 1/2 hr before you get to board again. The Puerto Rico terminal is small so they can't hold all of the B2B cruisers and the new cruisers until regular boarding time. When we got back on, they directed us to the top deck. Most of us went into the Cove Cafe to chill. The officers brought some trays of finger food and allowed each person a free coffee drink from Cove Cafe. We were not allowed to go to our rooms although I seem to remember if you wanted to go to the room, you had to stay there until they opened them to the rest of the cruisers at 1:30. I could be wrong about that though. They basically want you out of the way so they can turn over the ship for the new crowd. There were about 250 people that reboarded for the trip "back home". We are taking a PC cruise in late 2017 or we would be doing the Jan/Feb B2B with you.
