janvino Posted December 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I am taking a back to back out of Houston in January. Does anyone know what their procedure is there, US Immigration wise? We are staying in the same cabin the whole 2 weeks. Tampa and Miami each have different procedures for this. I'd like to be prepared;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It varies by cruise line and port. Normally they give you your new cruise card the day before with instructions. They will tell you told to meet in a lounge a a given time, escorted of the ship , thru US immigration . Then you'll wait until the ship is zeroed out that's when you'll be allowed to board again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janvino Posted December 15, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted December 15, 2014 It is NCL but procedures have a wide variation depending on the port. IF it is that simple in Houston , Great.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue gill Posted December 16, 2014 #4 Share Posted December 16, 2014 we did a back to back in april out of houston. they give you a cruise card a day or 2 before the 2cd cruise. if you book the same room you dont even have to unpack they just have you meet somewhere [they give you a letter with the card]and them walk you thru customs ahead of all show you card and back to the ship. bonus ; YOU GET A GET OUT OF MUSTARD DRILL card [okay so it;s a green dot on your card. just show the dot if someone tells you you have to go to the drill.you still get your booze the last night before cruise no 2 so if you dont want it yet let them know. have fun:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langley Cruisers Posted December 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted December 17, 2014 ...YOU GET A GET OUT OF MUSTARD DRILL card [okay so it;s a green dot on your card. just show the dot if someone tells you you have to go to the drill... Sorry, not correct for all lines. I can't even believe it's allowed for any line, but whatever. OP is sailing NCL; you sailed on Princess. We have done a few B2B's on Royal and you MUST attend the Muster Drill even if you are a consecutive cruiser. OP, please try not to worry about it. You will know soon enough. :);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
