Back to Back?

[LHC]

Can you make a deal or get a savings when doing a back to back?

Sometimes HAL combines two cruises and also offers them as a single cruise. In those cases the price is less than the two individual cruises purchased separately.

But otherwise, no. There usually is no cruise price benefit to b-2-b cruises.

No, but you can get the satisfaction of watching people gathered in lounges waiting for their numbers to be called, the satisfaction of watching them walking out to buses, the satisfaction of knowing they will be sleeping in their own beds tonight,

 

while you are still on the cruise!

 

gloat, gloat, gloat. :p

Actually, HAL has been giving a small additional discount for people who book back-to-backs. We book many of them and the Code to ask for this discount is:

On our last back-to-back and our up-coming back-to-back cruises we have gotten some discount -- not much -- but it is a discount.

Also, sometimes if you don't plan a B2B and you are on the ship and it isn't filled for the next week, they offer you some bargains to stay on.

Never had that happen.

Guess because all the cruises we have been on have been sold out weeks before sailing.

Also, sometimes if you don't plan a B2B and you are on the ship and it isn't filled for the next week, they offer you some bargains to stay on.

 

 

We saw that happen a few times especially not long after 9-11.

 

Within the last year and a half or so, I seem to think we were on a ship when they offered some cabins for the next cruise at a very reasonable rate.

 

That works great for retired folks who drove to the port. :)

I am looking at either the Prisendam or B2B Eurodam in December of 09.

Either way they are expensive but with 12 months out doable for this RN.

 

Thanks for the help.

You're welcome. The b-to-b discount is not that great but every little bit helps. :)

We sailed in Oct after 9/11 -- a 10 day Sea of Cortez cruise. We wanted to stay on -- had even checked 4 months before 9/11 -- no cabins available -- and nothing changed once we were on the ship.
