runner2013 Posted May 28 #1 Share Posted May 28 Hi all, DH and I will be on Allure in Oct for a quick 4-day trip from Miami. Since we're going to be there anyway, we decided to book a 3-day trip before that on Msc . So my question for you all is does this count as a b-t-b since it's two different lines? We weren't sure if 'technically' to call it that it should be the same line. We've never done two in a row so we're having fun with saying 'oh we're doing a b-t-b " 🤣 (it really is the little things isn't it that make us smile) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another_Critic Posted May 28 #2 Share Posted May 28 Not a B2B, but possibly considered a S2S (side to side). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted May 28 #3 Share Posted May 28 (edited) To me: side to side, if the first ends on the same day as the second begins. (different ships) Back to Back or Consecutive Cruises, if on the same ship. We used to call cruises that Celebrity "gave" us a hotel room for the intervening night between FLL and MIA --- Back to Back.

cruiseguy1016 Posted May 28 #5 Share Posted May 28 Another vote for S2S. That's typically the term used when it's two different ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted May 28 #6 Share Posted May 28 A back to back is simply consecutive cruises on the same ship. A side to side is just cruiser lingo for consecutive cruises on different ships. It's not at all any kind of official term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner2013 Posted May 28 Author #7 Share Posted May 28 Side to side!! I knew there was another term but I was drawing a blank😁 Thanks everyone for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare RobInMN Posted May 28 #8 Share Posted May 28 First time I saw "S2S" my brain went "Ship to Ship" instead of "Side to Side"? 🙂 Made sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the cruiselines all use the term consecutive cruises. Edited May 28 by cruiseguy1016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
