Not Quite B2B

[alphawave1]

My friend and I going  to go in the Enchantment for 5 days, get off and the following week get on the Liberty for 7 days. Wanted to do B2B but I had a work conflict. 

A friend who cruises says that was a terrible idea. We were thinking that getting home, catching up on business, and laundry, and going back would be fun. 

Anybody want to weigh in on this?

Can’t imagine why it would be a bad idea, if it’s what you want to do.

Sounds like your friend has cruise envy.  If it works for you go for it.

If it works for you with work I can't imagine any reason why it would be a bad idea either.  It just dawned on me we got off Symphony last Saturday and I'd be more than happy thrilled right now to be boarding a ship today!

Sounds like it's nobody's business but yours.

Agree, sounds like one jealous friend.  If you have no schedule conflict why not?

Mario (high point cruiser on RC) does this regularly.

I certainly would prefer the true B2B as you had originally planned, as it would save me from packing, debarking, re-packing and embarking again, but I also don´t have the luxury of Living lose to a port, so flying is Always involved.

 

Putting aside what I said above if this is your Option, I see Nothing wrong with it. While not my first choice, I´d probably go for it in your Situation. 

 

Would be interesting to ask your friend for their reasoning. Certainly wouldn´t say it´s a terrible idea.

Thank you all! Working our way to D+. The Enchantment was a last minute idea, other travel plans had fallen through....the timing was perfect. We are doing ocean view, then the following week balcony. So the order or things seems fun.

Fortunately we can drive from Houston to Galveston, our port, in an hour, so that played into the decision. Last several cruises were involving a long drive/ and or air flights.

No question.  Go for it!

I would definitely do this given the chance! Just think, when you would have been getting off the 2nd leg of the B2B - you’ll just be getting on .......... 😊😊

Several years ago I was on a 9 night Cruise on Explorer and had a 5 night booked on the ship for 2 months later. It was the only time I didn’t feel let down on the last day, knowing that I would be back on board soon.

Go for it.  We are doing an almost back to back in May.  Hubby and I going on the Allure May 19th then our kids will fly down to meet us and we all go on the Empress for 5 nights.  Sometimes you have to take the opportunities as the come.
