zqvol Posted September 11, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Can someone chime in and tell us if that is legal? If it is then you can bet that people do it every time those routes are sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Bogle Posted September 11, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 11, 2018 If the first leg starts in Manhattan and the second leg ends in Manhattan it is no different in the eyes of the Jones act than any other closed loop cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. You're making multiple stops in foreign ports along the way. It's not different than any other round trip cruise starting and ending in Manhattan.

lantzalot Posted September 12, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I think you are saying the same things as eachother. A round trip cruise starting and ending in the same place is the same as a closed loop cruise. But I don't see how it's any different than taking 2 one way cruises. They could be 2 months apart or 2 hours apart. I don't think it matters. I've looked at this Jones Act now and I see that the only issue is starting in the US and getting off at another US port. So even if you took one cruise to Canada, and then the next day took a cruise from Canada that ended in Boston, I think you'd be fine. Because you didn't take one cruise from one point to another. You took two distinct trips. I'm no lawyer, but I can't imagine they can police you taking multiple cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budget Queen Posted September 12, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2018 So has anyone done this? I’m on the Gem right now doing the 20 day round trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norovirus595 Posted September 12, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I’m on the Gem right now doing the 20 day round trip. Do you have switch cabins mid-trip? What's the passenger demographics like? Port highlights? Weather? Food? I'm looking at the 22-day round trip on the 28th but have never done more than a 7 day, more than 3 times that at once would be practically moving to sea.

Tatka Posted September 12, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I love Gem.. but I'd pick something with covered pool for Canadian itins. We did several of them. By the way it's legal. People sail Boston-Montreal-Boston with Holland all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
