nevadashaun Posted June 27, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I have a call into travel agent to see if back to back cruise is a good deal. Anyone know what discounts would be. Also is this just too much cruising. First and Second voyages take us away twenty days during the holidays. Any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 27, 2011 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2011 If you enjoy cruising than a back to back cruise is certainly not too much cruising. We've done several long cruises over the years and have enjoyed each one. Like anything else some people would not care to be on a ship for that long and others love it. We fall in the latter category. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emtbsam Posted June 27, 2011 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We're booked on the B2B cruises. We did the same trip three years ago and enjoyed it. This is shorter than our last two trips so we are not concerned with the length. It is very port intensive which will make the time fly. These cruises probably will not be full due to the time of year. The fares are already pretty low for Silversea, and there is an OBC and free air which will most likely not be offered if they reduce the fare more. We received a 5% on board booking discount, a Venetian Society discount on the first cruise, a 5% discount for having over 100 days and a 5% discount for the B2B. We will only get the refund of "free air" for one cruise, one OBC of $500 and one Amex Platinum $300 OBC. We felt it was good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevanb Posted June 27, 2011 #4 Share Posted June 27, 2011 If they are the same ports of call then it can get a bit boring If they are different then it is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emtbsam Posted June 28, 2011 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2011 If they are the same ports of call then it can get a bit boring If they are different then it is great We might take those days as "sea days"! But there's always something new to see or do if we are so inclined. When we were in Antigua for the umpteenth time last November, we went on a segway tour in the rain and had a blast.

One can go back to places that they absolutely enjoyed, seek out others that they didn't get to see, and also enjoy the ship if they don't care to revisit a particular port.

nevadashaun Posted June 30, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Booked the trip. Travel agent and Silversea were great. They allowed us rebooking of prior booking for my previous on board booking to a new current special price offering for two weeks starting in December.

dougburns Posted June 30, 2011 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Shaun; Hope you have a great cruise. Lynn and I are going on the T/A from Lisbon-FLL in Oct/Nov. Sorry we'll miss seeing you. Lisa and David will be on the 11 Dec portion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
