B2B getting off the ship

[Krazy Kruizers]

Hotzej,

 

At what time did you gather in the lounge and how long was the process until you reboarded the ship? Thank you in advance for your response.

 

We have met at various places on our back-to-back cruises -- show lounge, Pinnacle Grill, Attrium, etc.

We usually meet about 9:30 and are escorted off the ship by someone from the front office -- about 10.

Sometimes we have been able to get right back on the ship (very rarely) -- while other times we have sat up to 1 1/2 hours in the terminal to get back on. Usually due to inspection of the ship or some people not getting off as soon as they should.

No one can get back on the ship until the passenger coun is down to ZERO.

We have booked a couple Collector's Cruises -- only once have we gotten a decent discount -- and that is for our Noordam cruise in March. The other ones amounted to only a few dollars.

I have noticed that next year HAL is not offering any Collector's Cruises for the Noordam in either February or March.

When we book b-to-b's, we always get an additional discount for booking two segments.

On last years cruise there were 400 pp taking the second leg and about 200+ staying on for next cruise. Not necessarily the same ones. We reboarded, the steward had a big bucket of ice in the cabin and we enjoyed the booze delivered on the last day of the first leg. Then watched the new ones boarding.

Hope it works as well in Venice next year.

A couple of years ago we tried that -- ordered only 1 bottle just to see what would happen.

The bottle was delivered the last full day of our SECOND cruise. So we gave it to a friend in Ft Lauderdale knowing that we could not fly home with it.
