guyver Posted October 27, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi Folks, I read on another cruise line board a thread about getting perks for doing a B2B cruise. Has anybody received or heard about this happening on NCL? If so, what were the perks? Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyver Posted October 27, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted October 27, 2009 No such thing, have done 5/6 b2b with NCL nothing nada! Thanks. That is what I figured. Also, sorry about starting 2 threads on this. The 1st one said it did not go through. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamrag Posted October 28, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 28, 2009 There is one perk, and only one, in Europe at least.....you do not get thrown off the ship at the end of the first leg of the BTB!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillfloatin' Posted October 28, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Three more great things about B2B: 1. Do not have to do the muster drill on second cruise 2. Do not have to pack at end of first cruise :D 3. Get to watch everyone else leave while you stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not have to pack at end of first cruise :D 3. Get to watch everyone else leave while you stay I remember in 2008 when I was on my transatlantic from Miami to Athens, I thought 14 days of wonderful NCL bliss. But a handful of new friends I met on board told me they went on to Istabul, a city I have always wanted to visit to tour the architecture. I would just sigh and smile. Wishing I was going along too. However, I had to practically beg to get off work for 17 days (we stayed in Athens for a few extra nights, and that was very cool). But I guess you could add # 4 (from my experience)... 4. Get to see the forlorn looks of the faces of those that are not on the B2B that wishes they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys have sure put a good spin on this:D I was thinking a free bottle of wine or a dinner at one of the specialty restaurants but they almost pale in comparisson to your ideas.

You can also buy alcohol on the last night of the first cruise and carry it back to your room for the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will this work even though I booked it as a 14 day? Won't they see that when they scan my card?? On a side note, I have seen many that say since I booked it this way, it will only count as 1 credit on my Latitudes. I emailed my PCC and she said it will count as two. I will not lose that email because I can see likely having to fight for it. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnootieTootie Posted October 28, 2009 #10 Share Posted October 28, 2009 We have done quite a few B2B, and it always counts as 2 cruises. I don't think that you will have to fight to get the credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine were back to back cruises and I had to get a new card so I was able to purchase my alcohol. I was on the Pearl repo this past month which was a included a 5 day cruise and a 14 day cruise. I only did the 14 day piece. I spoke with a couple who did the full 19 days and they were able to by alcohol at the end of the 5 days. Hope this helps.
