[obriendan]

Here is a just received notification for Mariner back-to-back Caribbean cruises in March:

 

When you book two 7-day cruises back-to-back, you get a 14-day cruise experience with more time to relax and more time to explore. Plus, when you sail on a 14-day "combination cruise", you get more ports of call, unparalleled 5-star Holland America Line service, unequaled spaciousness and a world of unending memories. Also, on select itineraries, the 14-day combination cruise includes 2 days at Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line's private island.

Both 7-day cruises must be booked at the same time to receive these fares.

 

To book, call your travel professional or 1-877-SAIL HAL (877-724-5425).

Ask for Promo #187.

these are per week prices :)

.... and those prices are great!

 

 

I'd take advantage of them. Did a similiar B2B a few years ago

on Veendam. FLL to Eastern and Western Carib.

 

I'd love to do it again!

 

GOFERIT!

As you can see in our cruise history below, we did a B2B E/W Carib on Zuiderdam. The only cruise I've booked direct w/cruise line. Believe it or not, HAL's quote was less than any online or bricks/mortar TA I priced with. :)

Booking direct was a distinct pleasure. The HAL reps were always pleasant, knowledgeable and truly anxious to help. It was especially convenient getting all booking and cruise documents immediately by e-mail attachment.

I'd do it again given the same pricing scenario. Alas, every cruise since, TA has always been low enough to book thru agency. It sure was a nice experience, though.

We certainly enjoyed the cruise(s). There's enough variety between E/W to keep the interest peaked.

BTW - we paid significantly less for an SS than any of the prices quoted above. Of course that was ~1 1/2 years back and prices do seem to have gone up.

We did it last Aug on the Zuiderdam :) It was great! :)

Would these sail dates have a lot of kids because of Spring Break? The prices sound great and B2B is a great way to cruise.

Ditto here. You'll love it. But try not to sail during hurricane season if you can. We got a lot of ports and excursions cancelled because of rough seas.

 

Blue skies ...
