Back to back in Europe

[peanutgirl]

we are considering a back to back on the Vista. Turn around in Athens. Anyone ever done this in Europe especially Athens.

We did a B2B on the Freedom from Rome and it is a lot easier than in the US since you don't go through customs until you get to the airport. We were given our new S&S cards the night before and were told if we got off the ship to use our old cards and use the new ones when we got back on. It was basically just another port day. Very easy!

Wow, great idea. Would love to hear about it if you do it when you return.

That is such a great idea! I have been obsessing about the Vista itineraries this weekend and trying to decide which is our best option. I am set on cruise to Europe Summer 2016 but can't decide which option is best for a family of 4. I love the cruise itinerary you are talking about but it looks like flying out of Athens is much more money than Barcelona, which is a huge factor since I need to buy 4 plane tickets. I ran your idea by my husband but he can't get off work that long. I am a teacher and the kids are in summer break so maybe he can fly home from Athen and we will stay 😊

I would love to do this but the cruise is already pricey enough that I can't add another.

 

We will also have to fly into Athens and home from Barcelona and it is quite a bit more expensive as well.

We were a little disappointed that there is not much of a difference in the itineraries for the b2b. Wish they would have added some different ports.

 

We are booked for September 13th.

Also considering a B2B starting & ending Barcelona, not too worried about the duplication of ports as we will get the chance to enjoy the boat.

Had a similar experience where our ports on the Carnival Breeze echoed a previous Disney cruise so I turned into Captain Willard, ''never get out of the boat'' usually muttered from a bar.
