Mango Tango Posted November 1, 2007 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2007 On a B2B cruise, if you purchase bottles of alcohol in the shop on board the ship, do they return the bottles to you at the end of the first cruise? If so, you can then enjoy it in your cabin during the 2nd part of your B2B... is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted November 1, 2007 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2007 That sounds correct based on what I've read although I haven't been lucky enough to go on a B2B yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy, my understanding is that they have caught on to this, and will NOT give you your stash at the end of the first leg. BUT........................... All you have to do is make friends with someone who is NOT staying on for your second week and get them to buy it for you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT........................... All you have to do is make friends with someone who is NOT staying on for your second week and get them to buy it for you. :) You are correct. That is how it was on my back to back last year. :( Carol - on our AOS B2B last February, I went into the shop that sold booze on the last night of the first cruise, bought whatever I wanted and took it back to my cabin! The shop clerk has no idea who is on a B2B We were told, do not bother that they knew who was staying on and we would not be able to buy any. (It was in writing) So it may not be the correct information to give someone sailing a different ship, in a different port, under a different Captain. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in tears right now, hope you are happy :( Did you win the lottery and not let your good CC friends know? I expect a full review on each leg of your B2B2B T. :D ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You report back on from your B2B2B and I will report back when I return from my cruise whether I got called to the "Put on the Dunce Cap You Got Caught room" to remove the stuff from my luggage. :o :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Kewlguy Posted November 1, 2007 #16 Share Posted November 1, 2007 You can rest assured if I do ever win the lottery I would certainly charter one of Royals ships and invite all the regulars on the Royal board free of charge. I wonder how much it would cost to charter Genesis? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39august Posted November 1, 2007 #22 Share Posted November 1, 2007 There is no way the clerk knows who is staying on the ship. Don't buy during the week and have them hold it. Just go the last day of the first cruise and take back whatever you buy to your cabin. We have done this several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckrobyn Posted November 1, 2007 #24 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I was told by a very reliable source in Guest Relations, that the sea pass for the first week is a completely separate entity from the 2nd week sea pass. The information stored on the sea pass does not include B2B information. I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do, or not do :rolleyes: but buying booze on the last night of the first cruise, worked for me! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
