Fluffy62 Posted April 10, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2013 We are doing a B2B this Saturday! When figuring the cost of the Sanctuary for the whole trip do I calculate $20 per day for 14 days? I'm pretty sure we may not have time to use it on the first day and of course on the last! Just trying to do some last minute money figuring! Thanks everyone !

Thanks everyone !You can book for the whole B2B but your onboard account will be charged for each segment. Last October, I took a B2B of two days and then fifteen days for a total of seventeen. I received two receipts: one for the two days, one for the fifteen, even though I booked for the entire seventeen days. When booking, ask if they discount when booking the whole cruise. They did on the Island Princess at $15/day and do on other ships but not on all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they would because the day we leave the ship is technically someone else's first day! I guess I will just figure $20 per person per day for 14 days to be on the safe side!

As well all know, Princess is consistent with it's inconsistency. :) No matter what, you'll have two charges for each cruise so it adds up to the same thing anyway. Who knows? You may prefer a different space the 2nd week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloriaF Posted April 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 10, 2013 You may want to consider your itinerary and the activities you are planning for each port -- you may not have time to spend in the Sanctuary on long port days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted April 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 10, 2013 We were on the Island on a later cruise than Pam. The Panama Canal transit day is not included in the full cruise package and is $70 for that day. We opted not to do the Sanctuary on the transit day and were charged $195 for 13 days at $15/day. Most, but not all, ships offer the reduced price of $15/day rather than $20/day if you book for the entire cruise. The cruise had 8 sea days and one short port day. It was a warm weather itinerary, we were there at least part of all but one day and well worth the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted April 10, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Most, but not all, ships offer the reduced price of $15/day rather than $20/day if you book for the entire cruise. And looking to the future, the cost on the Royal will be $25/day ($15 for a half day). Not sure if there will be a discount for booking the entire cruise.

RhondaC Posted April 10, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I would book the first week, and then if you enjoyed it, and think you'll keep using it, book the second week after checking back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma Rene Posted April 10, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 10, 2013 You may want to consider your itinerary and the activities you are planning for each port -- you may not have time to spend in the Sanctuary on long port days. There are no refunds for bad weather days. We could not use it for a few days, bad weather. Our loss...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
