What id like to know is will we be able to leave luggage in our cabin while we go through customs then back on the ship? And yup we booked the same cabin.

CruiseGal999 Posted March 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2019 My cruise Sept. 2018, as soon as I boarded the ship, I notified Guest Services that I was sailing B2B. They did all the work and I did NOT have to get off the ship and go through customs. I don't know if this is possible for you ... just saying how my cruise went.

OCruisers Posted March 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yes, you leave your luggage in your cabin. Enjoy your first B2B cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartgv Posted March 24, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yes, leave luggage in your cabin. You may or may not have to get off the ship and go through customs - it depends on where in the world you will be - local laws vary greatly. Most US ports do require getting off the ship, but we have not had to in the UK or in Australia. The ships made arrangements to have Customs and/or Immigration officials come onboard to take care of any necessary inspections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted March 24, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2019 If you have to get off the ship during turnaround day at a US port, you would go through Immigration, not Customs. However, if you get off the ship as if you were going on a DIY excursion, you can bypass the process. You will receive instructions when on board how to do it, and will be given a "pass" (commonly an "in transit" pass) to allow you to do this.

You will also receive a TAD letter advising you where to meet, what time and what to bring with you for the TAD process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you weren't removing dutiable items from the ship, you would likely just be given the in transit pass. But to answer your original question, your belongings will remain in your cabin.
