brepri_h Posted September 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Just curious as to whether you'd recommend a 14 day journey cruise or a B2B cruise? I've not done either but would like to and am not sure which route to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmptrwiz Posted September 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2017 We have done a few B2B cruises and one S2S (a side to side get off one ship and jump on another) We have never done a 14 day or longer journey cruise. With that being said I think I would prefer the journey cruise. The advantages to me would be different food in the MDR every night and different entertainment every night. On a B2B you kind of get cheated a little bit on turn around day because you have to wait at a certain time in a certain place to get off the ship get through customs and back on which really cuts into one of your days.

coevan Posted September 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2017 we did a B2B Journey's cruise on the Dream, it was a 10 and 11 day cruise. We would never consider a S2S as embarking and debarking are the worst 2 parts of a cruise and would not want to do this twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern would be at the end of 21 days I would have to be rolled off at the end of the cruise as cargo from over eating!! I'm surprised some friends of ours had to get off after 7 days they were going stir crazy? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harpat0408 Posted September 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I found it is cheaper to do a journeys cruise that a B2B Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolzCruiser Posted September 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 21, 2017 To me would come down to cost and ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this alone would make me do a journey instead of a B2B! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatloafsfan Posted September 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I would do the Journey cruise. That way there is no switch over day (where it feels like a lot of sitting around and waiting), only 1 muster drill, different MDR menus, Captain's Celebration and throwback sea day, more varied daytime entertainment like lectures and behind the scenes stuff, and generally more unusual ports.

Retired_to_Cruise Posted September 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 21, 2017 If you own Carnival Stock, A B2B gets you $200 ($100 for each week) and a 14 Day Journeys Cruise gets you $250. We have taken several B2B and loved them. Always take alternating itineraries. Taking first Journeys Cruise in October 2017. It is a partial transit of the Panama Canal and several ports we have never been to. Really looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taters Posted September 21, 2017 #13 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I've done both and absolutely prefer the Journeys cruises. It is so much more relaxing and you don't waste a day back in the home port in the middle of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should of said its unusual instead of weird. Always round trip airfare for us! It's probably easier to do because one leg has nothing to do with the other. Are two one ways cheaper than a normal round trip? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 cruzen Posted September 23, 2017 #18 Share Posted September 23, 2017 We are doing our 1st journeys cruise with our kids 14 and 10 in November 2018 for our 20th wedding anniversary Sent from my iPhone using Forums We are doing our first Journey cruise (no kids) in Nov 2018 on Breeze. I'm sad thinking that 4 of our ports have been hit hard by recent hurricanes but we splurged on a spa room so worse case, we spend more time at the T-pool.

ffmikey Posted September 23, 2017 #20 Share Posted September 23, 2017 We have done both and would do the Journeys Cruise again over a B2B. On a B2B you have to return to port and lose the Sea Days getting to and from that port. On our Journeys Cruise we went to ports that Carnival had never been to. Ours was a Southern/Eastern Caribbean cruise. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
