Yes, it is a wonderful feeling to already be unpacked and aboard the ship!

If you need it definitely bring your own, we pack a small one.

Yep emails and in room info is how we were advised.

Yes please!

Hasn’t been worth it to us for a long time.

Our daughter has a passport that expires in July, we’re cruising with her in May, her birth certificate has her maiden name. Will she have any issues?

B2B’s are the best! Definitely get the same cabin. 
 

We knew at the end of our first cruise, 5 days was not enough. We are somewhat ready to leave after 14 days.
 

We also love cruising to the ABC islands and will get to stop in Bonaire for the first time this year, covid prevented us from cruising there in 2019.

I called Saturday to check on my request since it had been 6 weeks since I mailed it. I found they work M - F and hung up.

That evening I received an email confirming my request for our B2B, coincidence? IDK 😁

BTW I did receive $250 for our 8 day/6 day B2B

Just read a post from Jack's Shack admin that says closed until at least January, hope that isn't true.

Also scheduled to stop here December 1st and December 10th.

We have used between b2b cruises taking advantage of the slow time before others board. They work ok.

Best bar at sea that I have ever seen. Not the place to just go and get a beer though. Saw many of the ships officers and staff hanging out there. Fun place. Cucumber Sunrise is my drink of choice there. Different but outstanding.

I don't think you can get a beer there, they will turn you away,

How does it work if you hit Diamond on the second leg of a b2b?

Enjoy the feeling as we crest the long ramp to board the ship, it's really happening!!!!!

Take the carryon bags to the cabin, usually get the first adult beverages at the aft lido bar or the Red Frog Pub if they have one and take some photos.

Explore the ship while we wait for the muster drill while having more adult beverages.

If the bags arrive early we usually unpack, if not we enjoy the sail away. The cruise has begun!!!

No such luck on my Nov 28th Magic cruise 😒 but I started out with a pretty good deal.

STAYED until 12:01 a.m. EDT on JULY 18, 2021, at which time the conditional sailing order and the measures promulgated under the conditional sailing order will persist as only a non-binding “consideration,” “recommendation” or “guideline,” the same tools used by CDC when addressing the practices in other similarly situated industries, such as airlines, railroads, hotels, casinos, sports venues, buses, subways, and others.

Nice to see common sense prevail.

It's all I can do to keep from booking one of the August Horizon cruises from Miami, the casino offer price is so good and the balconies are so cheap. But the middle of hurricane season and the uncertain covid protocols keep me from pulling the trigger.

They should do so forever for the health of the crew and passengers and just draw a line under the issue. If you don't want to travel don't travel.

If you want everyone to wear a mask don't travel!

Same. LOL.  The ships really are rusty, but for some reason when I got on the ships for my cruises, I was so focused on having fun that I never looked.  Maybe now that cruising has been shut down for over a year they had time to clean up the ships.

Salt never sleeps 😀

We haven't been to a Jamaican port yet so I'll have to agree with Belize. On a Carnival excursion, cave tubing I think, we had armed guards around the pavilion while we ate lunch. That with the warnings not to leave the port area, that was our last trip to the mainland, only offshore snorkeling trips after that.

Magic with new paint! Can't wait till November.

Most of the noise comes from the loud people getting off of the elevators on your floor and talking as they walk past your cabin.

More great news!
