2prettygirls Posted January 13, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Trying to do a price estimate for a back to back cruise. Does Carnival typically give you a discount for booking a back to back or is the price online pretty accurate by calculating the cost of both cruises?

Rare Jamman54 Posted January 13, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2020 There are no specific discounts for booking B2B cruises. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted January 13, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2020 The discount is after you book, if the price goes up you don’t have to pay it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyluver Posted January 13, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2020 They are considered 2 separate cruises. No perks for B2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthworm Jim Posted January 14, 2020 #6 Share Posted January 14, 2020 It's not a crazy notion though, since Princess, a Carnival Corporation sister brand, does sell back to back 7 days as a 14 day. Perhaps other brands do too. I was surprised though to see, for a random date I picked in February 2021 for a Princess 14 day, there is no savings in doing so. In fact booking it as a 14 day was actually $11 more than booking the two 7 days separately. I don't know if that's always the case or sometimes booking a 14 day saves you money.

Garth2 Posted January 14, 2020 #7 Share Posted January 14, 2020 For those of us who don’t live close enough to drive to the port you save a round trip airfare by booking back to back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked mine separately, and paid full fare. I called them to link them as a B2B after booking online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have always known even if I don't mention it. Even the Maitre d comes and asks for our seating preference for the second leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be doing my first back-to-back in the same room. I had the second leg booked through a travel agent first. When another Carnival Cruise of mine got cancelled today, I used that credit to book the cruise immediately before the second leg effectively making a back-to-back, albeit the first leg booked directly through Carnival and the second through the travel agent.

I have done cruises booked at different times, but not booked through different sources. Feel free to call and link them to be sure. Carnival would love to talk to you!

Cruising_Addict Posted May 5, 2020 #12 Share Posted May 5, 2020 If you are a shareholder I can tell you that if you book two consecutive 7 day cruises, rather than giving you $100 OBC for each ($200 total), they will give you the full $250 that they give for 14 day cruises. So there is that. Make sure you submit the OBC request for both cruises at the same time, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
