B2B Luggage/Luggage Tag Question

[Great 2 B at Sea]

Hey all you experienced cruisers out there......I've got a question for you. We are doing our first B2B next month and we will be switching rooms. How do we handle our luggage and tags for the second leg? I know they will only move clothing on hangers to our next room, and we are responsible for the rest of our stuff. So, on the last night of the cruise, do we put our new tags on and set our luggage outside of our room? Or do we just keep our luggage inside of our room until the next morning? I know this is a no brainier for a lot of you, so will you please help me out? Thanks!

Keep all of your luggage in your first cabin. They'll coordinate with you on the move and your new boarding passes a day or so before the end of the first cruise.

They gave us our new boarding passes after everyone had left the ship and had us get new pictures taken for the new passes on board the ship. After you get your new boarding passes, you're free to leave the ship,if you want to.

Not sure how they will handle customs for,you. We did our B2B in Italy last year and we were never asked to go through customs between the two cruises. That may be different in the U.S.

Thanks, bay guy, for all of your information! One less thing to be concerned about.

Its a piece of cake! We normally move ourselves (as the stewards have enough to do on turnaround day) and if you want to do that, they will lend you a hotel style trolley so you can hang clothes. Two other things. Don't forget each cruise is seperate, so make sure you check your bill for the first one and settle it like you would normally. Second, go and find your new steward a few days before end of 1st cruise and ask them to do your new cabin first so you can move into it quickly. Last thing...look really smug at breakfast, 'cos you're not getting off!!:D

Great advice, Simon, on all counts. I like the idea of us moving everything ourselves. And we will find our new steward and ask to have our room cleaned first.....hope they will comply. With all of the horror stories we've heard, we will definitely settle our bill. Love your breakfast comment....we can finally be "those people" who aren't getting off the ship. :cool:

Also....

 

Make sure Royal has your reservation linked for a B2B before you leave and verify it at some point on your first leg.
