phabric Posted January 10, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I have 2 cruises booked out of Southampton both on the Grand. The cruises are sold as two separate 7 day cruises. I have 2 booking numbers. I know I can not book until Sept. I have 3 bookings to look after and want to be prepared with the information. 1) August 7-14, 2021 Norwegian Fjords EzAir opens Sept 18, 2020 2) August 14-21, 2021 Scanadinvia EzAir opens Sept 25, 2020 I always booked Princess Flexible EzAir and watch the EzAir and airline price and take the cheapest. I have called Princess and was told I would have to book two one way tickets. 1) book the Aug 7, 2021 going flight to London on Sept 18, 2020 2) book the August 14, 202 return flight from London Sept 25, 2020 I don't understand why I can not book the return flight on Sept 18 if the return date is available? Has anybody that has 2 separate cruises have to book 2 one way tickets? Aren't one way tickets more expensive that a return ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katrina915 Posted January 10, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I have never had a back to back, but I have booked the return for an additional week. Try a mock flight booking online for a more recent cruise. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alidor Posted January 10, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Have no idea why you are looking at this now. You are 9 months away from booking. ALL KINDS of things can change before you book - you are really totally wasting your time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flights are generally made available for booking by the airline 330 days, or 9 months, in advance. That would mean that you cannot book a flight for 8/7/21 until around mid November of 2020, not Sept 18 of 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF-1 Posted January 14, 2020 #9 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Since you are flying to London and leaving from there; you should be able to book roundtrip; using the second B2B arrival date for point of reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
