dulcimergirl Posted September 6, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2012 It means the best cruise ever! Back to back to back to back. Taking cruises one after the other, most on the same ship, most In the same cabin. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennmaybe Posted September 6, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2012 It means extreme jealousy and envy from those of us who have jobs and kids and will not be able to enjoy one any time soon! :D:mad::(:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco Posted September 6, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Although I know some folks who did 4 cruises, one right after another, all one weekers out of Ft Lauderdale. ALL on different ships and different lines. They said, ya, it was a bit much going from ship to ship, 4 in a row, but they said they MUCH preferred it to one 28 day cruise. To each their own!

Rare Keith1010 Posted September 6, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2012 A true back to back is on the same cruise ship. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done one B2B (same ship, same cabin) from Fort Lauderdale (7-day West, then 7-day East Caribbean), largely because the price was great. In the future, I would opt for a 14-day cruise because it would go to more ports that are farther from Florida. IMHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 7, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 7, 2012 We have done many, many back-to-back cruises -- on the same ship. Many years ago we did a back-to-back-to - back -- 3 different itineraries on the same ship and same cabin. Really nice. I would never consider doing one week on one ship, then moving to another ship, and then another ship. That is not a true back-to-back cruise.

I would never consider doing one week on one ship, then moving to another ship, and then another ship. That is not a true back-to-back cruise. If I ever happen to come into some unexpected money (okay, LOTS of unexpected money..:p:rolleyes:) I would like to do what I call disjointed B2B's on every Carnival ship from every port in Florida. I know that I might have to spend a night or two in a hotel here and there, but at least 2 weeks on each ship before moving on. I have only done one true B2B on the Glory a few years ago with alternating itineraries and it was really nice. I did the disjointed thing last year, taking the Conquest Halloween cruise then spending Sunday night in Galveston and boarding the Triumph on Monday. We have a B2B in the same cabin on the Breeze in January with the 2nd leg being the Bloggers cruise. It's so expensive to get to Florida for a cruise, so until air comes back down we will probably stick closer to home or always do a B2B from the Florida ports.

crzndeb Posted September 7, 2012 #13 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I have 2 B2B2B's coming up...Tuesday, I board the Carnival Spirit repo to Australia, and then in Feb., the Splendor repo to NYC. My longest cruise has been 16 days, so this will be a real test to ship life. I think if you have the time and money, and have to fly to a port, it is at least worth it, to try a B2B! Especially if it's a different itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lannp Posted September 7, 2012 #15 Share Posted September 7, 2012 In January I did a 14-day Caribbean on the Grand Princess. Princess had changed it from the 14-day to a 7-day cruise. We could book as originally listed or as a 7-day. Sadly the itinerary was not as good. The only difference was a slight change in entertainers. The menus were a carbon copy of the week before. At least there are lots of choices so I could choose what I'd missed the week before. I wouldn't do that again because going back to Fort Lauderdale mid-cruise wasted a lot of time. The longest I've done is 24 days composed of 3 segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WYTinman Posted September 8, 2012 #17 Share Posted September 8, 2012 On my last cruise I met a couple that were on the ideal B2B2B. 7 day Western Carib - 13 day Transatlantic - 12 day Grand Med. Same ship. Same cabin. Owners Suite on NCL to boot. What a Suite life!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In January, 2013, there are about 300 from our roll call and an unknown number of others taking a 49 day b2b2b - FLL to Buenos Aries to Santiago to SF.

GotThatCruisingFeeling Posted September 9, 2012 #24 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I guessing we would get different MDR menus each night and different shows too with a 14-day vs. two b2b 7-day cruises. You hit on one of the downsides of B2B 7-day: same menus the second week. That was great for the nights I liked the menu, but not so great for a couple of dinners! Also, the production shows were exactly the same, and, of course, many of the same jokes! Nevertheless, any day on a cruise beats a day not on a cruise!
