We’re doing our first B2B next spring on the Reflection, staying in the same cabin, and wasn’t aware of any additional discount. We booked each leg separately- does that make a difference in having a discount applied ( booked one leg then a month or so later added the second leg)? Booking the B2B legs separately doesn't make a difference regarding the discount. But you will have to ask as the discount is not automatic.

We travel 'heavy' so I'm not sure if we could wallk to the port, but on google maps it looks like a 5 minute walk which is certainly doable for us. We aren't going until 2025, so I haven't researched yet. It looks like most things to see are in The Rocks area. We are thinking that we will get there one day before as we are doing a B2B so will have time on that inbetween cruises day to sightsee. It's a 22 hour flight from Ft. Lauderdale! We haven't figured out how to handle that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on a b2b and got no discounts 😞. We're on an 18 day B2B consisting of two 9 day segments on the Beyond for November deposited while on board the Apex in January of 2022. The future cruise department never said a thing regarding a B2B discount, no matter how small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauderdale so I guess we will disembark/re-embark as well. Was hoping we could just stay on board but that's just me being impatient, lol. We had a B2B in January of 2022 on the Apex out of Ft. Lauderdale. We left as a group, were escorted off the ship to clear facial recognition and were allowed right back onto the ship. We had the entire ship to ourselves and were relaxing at Cafe al Bacio for about an hour before general boarding began. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think that if anyone would know about the discount it’s the FC reps. 🤦♀️ 7 hours ago, CruizinSusan70 said: We had a B2B in January of 2022 on the Apex out of Ft. Lauderdale.

Looking forward to having the ship to ourselves… even for a little while. Our b2b is for the first and second paid passenger voyage of the Ascent. I make room for turn around day to be a little chaotic since I think the purpose of the exercise is to give the crew practice with several different scenarios… disembarkation, Turing over rooms, removing luggage, processing b2bers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morebeaches Posted October 21, 2023 #57 Share Posted October 21, 2023 We are doing our first B2B on the Beyond in March/April 2024. Thanks to this thread, we contacted our TA, who contacted Celebrity, and we got a $100 discount for each leg of the cruise. That $200 will undoubtedly go to something fun! Again, thank you!

Is it difficult to stay in the same cabin? Are there benefits or difficulties. Please share what I need to know. We did it on the Apex. It was great. We were in a sky suite and no problem booking the same cabin. As long as you book in advance, no problem We did get a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnMom Posted February 28 #59 Share Posted February 28 Enjoying all the information on this thread. We just booked our first back to back, and it sounds as if the turnaround day process is pretty easy. I have one question about the embarkation day lunch in the main dining room. Can we attend that at the beginning of both cruises or is is just for turnaround day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
