B2B Registration Procedure

[Demonyte]

Debarkation/Embarkation Process for all Consecutive Cruise guests:

 

• At the end of the first leg, all guests on Consecutive Cruises will be asked to meet at the Guest Relations desk, or another designated area onboard. They will be escorted off the ship to a meeting place where they will wait until customs clears the ship for general boarding.
  
• The guest's credit card will be charged for their onboard expenses at the end of each leg.
  
• Once the second leg can begin boarding, the guests will be escorted back onboard.
  
• With prior approval from U.S. Customs, it is not necessary for guests to clear Customs until the end of their last cruise. The Manager of Security will request permission from the U.S. Customs Department.
  
• When guests go ashore between cruises, they may not take items that were brought onboard or purchased during any voyages. At the end of the last cruise, guests must clear U.S. Customs at which time every item purchased during all voyages must be declared.
  

 

Couple of weeks ago on Summit in San Juan we never left the ship but stayed onboard in Revelations Lounge and there was a CBP officer there to check our passports.

My wife and I are doing B2B2B on the Constellation starting December 12 (only 11 days!). However, we shopped for the best prices for the three cruises and ended up with 3 different internet travel agencies (and 3 different room categories). Has anyone done it with different agencies before and does anyone know whether that will create any problems?

The way the cruises were booked do not have any effect on the experience. You were not able to book the same cabin/category for every leg, but that can happen too when booking with only one seller.

Since we fly to every cruise embarkation port we almost always do B2B or B2B2B cruises. Since each leg of a B2B is treated as a separate cruise from an accounting standpoint (i.e., each leg will be charged separately, package internet minutes do not carryover and so forth) I don't see any problem in booking the legs through different travel agents.

Even if they did, the booking source does not matter at all after one has boarded the ship - a reservation is a reservation no matter who has helped to book it. Even if one gets OBC from TA, it does not matter either - just as well anybody could gift you OBC, the source just does not matter. :)
