amurray88 Posted July 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hi all, Sorry 2 more questions 🙈. 1. We got our check in time at 3pm... The boat arrives at 6:30am and we would love to check in as early as possible so we're not hanging about. Has anyone had any luck changing check in times? 2. We're doing a back to back and staying in the same cabin. We've not done a B2B before - I'm presuming we will need to disembark but can we leave our bags either in our cabin (same cabin for both sailings) or somewhere in the terminal so we're not carrying them about? Thank you all in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakegirl Posted July 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2022 You leave your possessions on board on turnaround day😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted July 24, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Since you're staying in the same cabin, you just leave everything as is. No need to pack up. As for getting off the ship and back on, it will depend on your cruise and the port. You will receive full instructions on board. As for an earlier checkin time, again it will depend on the port and the number of passengers on board. You can try showing up earlier and see what happens. Most likely you will be permitted to board early, but there are no guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted July 24, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Keep checking the app. Sometimes an earlier check in time will open up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Aurora Posted July 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2022 A few days before the end of the first leg B2B passengers will receive a succinct instruction letter regarding the turnaround day process. Just remember that even though you will be in the same stateroom you will receive a new seapass card. And for accounting purposes each leg is treated separately so any unused non-refundable OBC will not carry over to the second leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted July 24, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Which cruise are you talking about - The first or the second on the B2B. If the second you don't need a check in time. You will either be processed with all the B2B's around 9:30 and have full reign of the ship until 1:00 or so. Or you can use a transit pass and tour for the day and come back. They will have a B2B meeting to explain the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amurray88 Posted July 24, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Yes sorry, check in referred to first check in...bags referred to the turnaround. Big relief over the bags, great news thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted July 24, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 24, 2022 As others said you should check daily. We had a 1:30 for a last minute booking and just before the cruise they opened additional 11:30 slots opened so grabbed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you stay on top of it, with guest relations, as you approach the turn around day .On our first back-to-back, in '14, we got the letter and the meeting. On our B2B, in '19, we didn't get either, despite several inquiries at guest relations. On our final inquiry we were told that the meeting was the night before so we were left to fend for ourselves..

emmas gran Posted July 25, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Australia is very strict and would not let us unload a suitcase each in Newcastle for our friends sister to take for us, we had to take it to Sydney and get a friend to pick up. We were flying to Adelaide the same day so needed to travel a bit lighter. If you are boarding in Sydney or Freemantle make sure all your paperwork is in order, what you can take into Aus is also limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
