Sue from Canada Posted May 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Mum and I are doing a B2B from Vancouver - Seward - Vancouver. When we get to Seward we're planning an independent tour. When we come back to the ship do we need our 2nd boarding pass and are we assigned a new room card? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberta Quilter Posted May 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I've not done a B2B in Seward but you should receive a letter and/or an in transit card in your stateroom a day or two before the first segment ends. The letter will tell you what to do and what options are available to you and when you have to be back on board. You should not need the second boarding pass. When I did my B2B in Europe last year, we did not get an in transit card; we just used our ship card to show to the port staff and went through the "in transit" access area.

Krazy Kruizers Posted May 11, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2014 We have done several back-to-back cruise with Seward as our Intransit day. If you have booked both Cruises as a Collectors Cruise you will have the same cabin and your ID card will be programed for both cruises Keep in mind that breakfast will be VERY early in Seward as those leaving on the train to Anchorage are off the ship by 6:30 - 7 AM and the buses leave shortly after that. So be prepared for an early breakfast that morning no matter what tour you take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please explain 'if you have booked both Cruises as a Collectors Cruise' What is a Collectors Cruise and how do you book as a Collectors Cruise? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL sometimes packages two cruises together and calls it a collector cruise. The is usually a small price discount. If the OP booked her B2B as a collector cruise, she would have one booking number for both segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerospace Posted May 12, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I've found it's usually cheaper to book both parts separately, of course I always book last minute(less than 90 days out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not on a "collector cruise" as I have two booking numbers. Hmmmmm, that is very early for breakfast considering we're both night owls. We'll order in room service and get off the ship as late as we can as check-in for our independent boat tour is at 11:00 am. Thank you to all who responded to my initial inquiry.

Even though we have had two booking numbers, we have been pleasantly surprised to find a Pinnacle Grill for two gift in our stateroom for our "Collector" reward.

Thanks Your room card will show the total time you will be onboard so you will not be receiving a new card. The "Transit Card" allows you early return to the ship as soon as the last passenger has departed (zeroed out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
