Has any one done a back to back recently? What is the procedure? Do you stay on or get off, go throgh customs, then back on? Is there a meeting? We are doing our first B2B this April. Thanks for any info.

You will be required to "present yourself" to Customs on a "continous journey." You will likely have a meeting if there are a large number of consecutive cruisers or if there are only a few of you they may ask you to meet at a public place (TBD) at some announced time to be escorted off the ship, thru customs, get your new ship pass, and then back on board. It should take about an hour. Sometimes they will pass out the new ship passes at the meeting on the last sea day and sometimes only shore side can give you the new ship pass. Whatever they do you have one other choice: You can leave the ship like everyone else (less luggage - you can't take anything off the ship) and then anytime during the boarding period you can get in line with you second set sail pass and process back on the ship like a new passenger.

 

The process is handled slightly different at other ports. If you don't get information about consecutive cruisers procedures before the last sea day then stop by the Guest Services desk and ask. Enjoy :)

 

BTW: Your sea pass account will be closed out for the first cruise and you may have to take your credit card by the Guest Services desk to open your new cruise account. Be careful to read and follow all instructions and you will have no trouble at all.
