I currently have 10 cruises in my Captain's Circle, so I am at Platinum.
I have a 28-day cruise next year that I would really like to take as an Elite.
I have booked a cruise on CB on 12/23/24 (over Christmas). I am booked in a WS and traveling solo, and my understanding is that this cruise will earn me 3 more cruises, bringing the total to 13. I need 15 for Elite status.
I see that the CB has another voyage the week before, doing a different section of the Caribbean than my Christmas voyage. Princess is selling the two together as a single cruise, but also separately.
If I book an Interior as a solo traveler for the 12/15 voyage, this would earn me 2 more credits and bring my total to 15. This would be a B2B, correct? I would have to completely move out of one cabin and into the other on changeover day, which is an inconvenience but worth it to save the $$$ (and my WS isn't available anyway).
Will this work to get me to Elite by the end of 2024?
And secondly, what are the practical aspects of changeover day? Will i have to disembark? Will they just put me in a lounge with all my luggage?
Thanks for any helpful advice.
