IF you were considering booking B2B (back-to-back) cruises (same ship) and could NOT get the same cabin for both sailing, would you book it?

Yes I would!

Your cabin steward or butler will coordinate with your new cabin steward or butler and they will helpl you move to your new cabin.

I would too, worth the inconvenience to be on a back to back!!

Dreaming of a B2B, so heck yes. I'd go for it

Maybe vote over here...

I wanted to vote yes, but it would also need to be worth it.. Thing about re-packing then un-packing...

Here is what I would need to do it with no doubt...

1) Proof that they will give me at least until 9AM to sleep... I know they need to clean so I am trying to "meet-half-way"
2) My girlfriend understand, be okay with it also and understand I might be crashing right after the move.
3) If I sailed out of Florida or something, so, we can maybe wake up early anyway get off the ship and get lunch out and about...
4) Do I REALLY want to check out the other destinations, or am I just trying to make my vacation longer?

So, nothing crazy, but I would need to want to do both cruises. My girl and I settle in the first and second night.

Maybe I should have just said yes ...

I am guessing that we would only consider a B2B if we liked both itineraries, so I think we would put up with the inconvenience. There are other considerations about that in-between day that I would want to check on. I would want priority for getting our Room Pass for the second cruise - would NOT want to go outside to wait in a long line! But the ship is going where we want to go, changing rooms won't be a deal breaker.

NO for us! Having the SAME cabin for BOTH sailings is extremely important to us.

No Problem! They WALK you through the whole thing ... no standing in line!

We've never done a b2b on the SAME ship, but have done 2 where we had to change--one of them was disembark in Ft. Lauderdale and drive to Miami for the second leg. The other one was in Ciivitavecchia (Rome) where we had to take a 2 busses to another pier to board our second ship. So definitely YES! We'd feel like there's nothing to it!

We have done quite a few back-to-back cruises and twice we had to move.

The cabin stewards are a great help. They will bring a rolling clothes rack for everything in the closets.

And on HAL, the drawers don't even have to emptied out -- just move them to the other cabin and bring back the empty ones.
