Champagne and fruit basket on B2B?

[nlktx49]

Another B2B question from me - some people say they get a bottle of champagne and a fruit basket in their room on a B2B, others say they don't, or it's not on all ships. Does it have to do with the length of the cruise? Doing a B2B this month, 2 5-day cruises on the Breeze. What has your experience been?

Hotel manager decides what is given on each ship

[BlerkOne]

It is all at the discretion of the hotel director as to what and if. But historically (pre-covid), something might appear in your cabin between sailings.

I've gotten as little as a complimentary mimosa at the lobby bar while waiting for Guest Services to process the B2B cruisers.

We received the complimentary mimosas at the lobby bar. You can drink as many as you like. Nothing left in cabin. Freedom in December.

Is a coupon sent to you to get a free drink left in your cabin when you do a back-to-back or what?

We never had champagne or a fruit basket in our room on any of our B2Bs on carnival.  Maybe they are diamond, or staying in big $ suites or high roller casino players.

On the Sunshine right now on a B2B2B. We got fruit bowls and champagne from the hotel manager on legs 2 and 3. We weren't expecting it, and it was a nice touch.

We received a fruit basket on the 2nd leg of our B2B in September.  We're doing another B2B in April, so maybe we'll get lucky and score a bottle of champagne. 

[Jamman54]

On every B2B that we have done we have received champagne and fruit in our cabin at the start of the 2nd leg. Latest was on Miracle in October.

No coupon. You got mimosas because you were physically in the lobby waiting with the B2B cruisers.

Some ships give out free drink coupons, as posted by @SNJCruisers on recent Mardi Gras B2B.

We did our first B2B in January of this year & received the fruit basket and champagne.  We weren’t sure if it was due to the B2B or being our first Platinum cruise.

Definitely was for the B2B. We were on Sunshine 12/26 and free champagne was passed out upon boarding and they practically insisted on refills on Lido. We didn't know if it was a Covid restart thing or an apology for being shifted from Horizon, or just because it was around the holidays.

[zhillscruisecritic]

Yes. Received champagne and fruit bowl on Magic. Champagne at reboarding and free b2b photo. Elation did nothing but upon telling them what Magic did they sent bottle of champagne.

That's great. We're B2B on Valor 7/25/8/4. I wasn't expecting anything when I booked it.

I was only expecting the mimosa and a group photo because I have read it here on Cruise Critic. The fruit bowl and champagne was a very nice surprise. I also received another surprise for a different reason the following day. I’ll give more details on my review which I will begin today with photos and Fun  Times. Another thing was that instead of a group photo it was by group, family or person.

[Shake-n-Bake]

Did a B2B on Horizon last September and also in February of this year and got a fruit bowl in the room both times at the beginning of the 2nd leg. Have a B2B coming up on the 31st of this month on the Sunrise so will see if I get anything on this.

[Love being Mimi]

I'm gold and did B2B in Oct and got fruit basket and Champagne

 

[SNJCruisers]

Fruit basket, champagne, photos of the two of us in front of the Fiat on the MG, drink coupons that I gave away since we had Cheers.

[Mistymack]

We received both the champagne and fruit basket on our B2B on the Magic in November

 

[JeanieTheMom]

We did two 5 day B2B on the Breeze in October. Received champagne and fruit. Since we don't drink champagne, we brought it to our son.

We did 8 day then 6 day B2B on Horizon in February. We got the fruit, no champagne. We hadn't even thought that we didn't get some in February until we saw this post. 🤷‍♀️

BTW, we're Platinum.
