Anyone do a consecutive(b2b) cruise on BR from Tampa?

[PH8]

I am about to do a b2b on the BR out of Tampa.I have done a few b2bs and seems each ship/port do things a bit differently.

 

So would love to know how the BR handles turnaround day??

 

What time do we meet up and where???

 

Do they take you off the ship or are things handled right on board??

 

Anything special(luncheon) for the consecutive cruisers??

 

 

Thanks so much!

I did in Jewel out of Tampa. I know that each ship handles things a bit differently, but our experience was:

 

We got our Seapasses the night before the second cruise. I dimly recall that we picked them up at Guest Services, but can't really remember.

 

We were instructed to meet at the Schooner Bar if we wanted to be escorted off the ship, some time around 10:00. If so, we would have been allowed to reboard immediately. We chose to disembark around the same time and do some sightseeing in Tampa, so couldn't reboard until they commenced the general reboarding, but we came back shortly after lunch and waltzed right back on to the ship. The woman in charge saw us leaving and ran after us to tell us about the reboarding policy - I felt badly that I had made her run.:( That's probably the port's policy.

 

Jewel only did the special lunch if there were 20+ passengers doing B2B. We only had 4 or 6, so no lunch for us.

Thanks Jean..............I have done a b2b on the JW as well as the RD(both Tampa)..On the RD one,we had to get in line at 7:30 am,along with the non US residents(in the Colony Club)........Customs/immigration were set up there.......they also had our seapass cards waiting for us there.........so it was different than the JW...........That's why I am wondering how the BR does it..
