New Onboard Booking Placeholder and Back to Back Cruises

[ILovePixieDust]

Hi!

Just wondering if anyone would happen to know what would happen in this scenario:

I would like to do a back to back cruise in the future (March 2017). I will be cruising this August. When I cruise the dates for March 2017 will not yet be released. Can I put down 2 deposits with the new method where i don't need to pick a date for the cruise, for 2 future cruises with the intention of doing back to back cruises in the future (can they make note of that in some way)? I know that there is a limit to one future cruise per stateroom (if everyone is at the same address) but with back to back cruises with the old method I could get the OBB benefits for both cruises.

Would I be able to use the new OBB method or would I need to do the old method of booking back to back cruises with dummy cruise dates chosen (something that has already been released) to then be able to move them when I am able?

Any experiences on this?

Thanks!

I think if you intend to do back to back they will allow two reservations.

Hopefully they will! If not then I guess I will just have to do the old dummy cruise method of booking.

I'm thinking that's what you're going to have to do. Please come back and let us know what your find out.

Reporting back! Just off the Wonder and was told that they no longer give the 10% off for the second cruise of the back to back. They will only give the 10% off the first cruise of the back to back. Such a shame. So we ended up just booking a placeholder instead of 2 "dummy" back to back cruises.

Thanks for reporting back... but that's disappointing! Wow.

I asked about this in May but didn't do it. I was told that I would have to put down 2 seperate deposits.

Well, yes, it's two separate cruises.
