Hawaiidan Posted October 13, 2016 #26 Share Posted October 13, 2016 OH GEE thanks for the expert advice :rolleyes:I would have never thought of doing a B2B otherwise ....NOT The advice, was that by booking more than 1 cruise, you get far more benefits by booking each segment entirely independent of the others. When booking as a back to back you tend to get only one OBC credit for the composite that you put together. So whether you do 2 -3 or 4 or even 6 you will be better off doing each reservation independent of the others., Many folks dont understand that and book a "grand voyage " thinking it will be a better deal... Of course you probably know that, but others might not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, if it's a B2B2B2B, those air credits can really add up.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good advice, I do this but on occasion have had to change cabins because someone else has already chosen the stateroom we like - a minor annoyance for the benefits we reap. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
