Doing our first back to back, and wondering do we need to fill out online check in for each cruise or just the first one?

Yes, do your on-line check in for each cruise. There will be a page regarding Travel Plans and it is on this page that you will indicate that you are a consecutive cruiser.

 

You only need to print out the first SetSail Pass as all information will be transferred to the second cruise. Make sure that your booking numbers are linked with the b2b desk.

I always printed them both out. And turned them in when I got the card for the 2nd cruise. No one said they didnt want it.

Even though consecutive cruises are handled as two individual bookings you really don't need the second SetSail Pass because all of your info is transferred from the first cruise to the second internally on the ship.

 

If you wanted to change credit card information you can do that at Guest Relations on the first day of the second cruise.

As you know by now, yes, you do need to do both passes. However, don't assume that all your information will be correct on the second week, even if there are no changes. On our b2b last fall, my wife went from a credit card account for the first week, to a cash account on the second, with no prompting from us. She kept getting nasty-grams on the TV about her account needing more money down. It took 3 visits to guest relations to take care of it.

We have done numerous consecutive cruises and have only had to hand in the SetSail Pass when checking in for the first cruise. I do on-line check in for both cruises, but only print out the first SetSail Pass.

 

Sounds like there was a rather nasty hiccup in their system.:) Hopefully the next b2b you do will not have any problems.

Same thing happened to us on the Liberty first week in March

We finally went down and presented our credit card, went back to the(2nd cruise room) room and there was a bottle of asti-sumate with some ones name on it. Not ours??? Also a welcome letter to that "other" couple.

They had upgraded us...without telling us!!!...It's 11:30 AM and we had a luncheon at Noon...We threw everything in suitcases randomly and THEY moved us to a JS. Later a bottle of "good" wine appeared with appola:confused:gies!

We are taking our first B2B and was wondering the same thing, and this may sound dumb but I'm assuming we only need luggage tags for the first cruise? :o We are suppose to stay in the same room for both legs.

Yes that is correct. And, never feel that something your are asking sounds dumb. We've all been there and done that!:D;)

On most of our B2Bs, we did not need the second set sail pass; however, on a couple of them we did have to turn it it. So I print it & take it with me just in case!

 

I have found there is no consistency on checking in for the second (or third) cruise, it changes from ship to ship and even from cruise to cruise on the same ship. Our B2B2B on the Mariner was different both times! :D

The port authorities are the ones that really decide if consecutive cruisers have to get off on turn around day or stay on board.

 

Usually in foreign ports we have been able to stay on. In US ports we have had to disembark as a group for about 20 minutes and then were escorted back on.

 

But I do agree that it is Royal Caribbean Inconsistency at it's best.:(

You have SeaPass Cards for each cruise when you are a consecutive cruiser. The new keys for the second cruise are usually given out the day prior to turnaround day.

 

Doors are usually reprogrammed the morning of turnaround day.
