Dream B2B Procedure

[Cruiseaf]

Can anyone tell me what it’s like to do a Dream B2B? Anyone have recent experience out of Port of Miami?

I would assume the BTB procedures will be the same as the Magic in POM. You will get a letter with the process the night before debarkation and gather in a location with other guests doing BTB. You will be escorted off the ship together and be taken down to check in. You will check in again and then wait for a time until you can reboard. On the Magic, Cove Cafe was open for complimentary coffees and pastries when we reboarded. We did not change rooms and were told we could stay in the public areas or stay in our room, but to please not go back and forth once new cruisers were onboard.

If testing for BTB is still occurring, you will have your Covid tests before you check in for the second cruise.

Another question would be, would I be able to leave the terminal area and check in again later on. Im thinking want to restock up on my wine allowance while in Miami.

They just announced that you have to pack all your belongings in between the 2 cruises. That alone will stop me from booking B2B again for a long time. I mean, I understand why but no way do I want to go through that packing and unpacking.

No packing required on the Dream today.

Interesting. We board the Wish next week for our B2B and have been blindly hoping they do away with the B2B test in the middle, thank you for updating! Hope your cruise has been a blast!

You can leave if you want to, but then you won't be part of the B2B group when they reboard. I don't know if they'll let you board when you get back or if you'll have to wait for your PAT and boarding group to be called.

Maybe that's why they make us select a PAT on B2B cruises? I'd never considered it.

I picked the latest PAT for the second cruise in our B2B to let someone get an earlier PAT slot. We're just going to the testing tent rather than leaving the terminal. We should be on board WAY before that PAT comes around.

That's generally true, yes. The B2B group boards before anyone else. I was responding to a question about leaving the B2B group to buy some wine and then returning.

We are hoping to be able to stop at our car between cruises while heading to the testing are? our b2b is an 8 night/6 night and hope to pickup our next beer allotment from our car in the garage .

When I did a B2B in February, a cast member escorted the group the whole time. I don't think anyone asked to leave the group and come back, so I don't know if it's allowed. This was all at Port Canaveral, though. Procedures might be different elsewhere.

Same process in Miami, pre-Covid. I do not know if any of the BTB cruisers left on their own and came back later.

Kind of defeats the purpose od being first one back on. I say, just restock at the stops.

I don't drink so I would be a bad person to get that type of advise from.

Can anyone update if they'e still having you pack in-between sailings?

we were on B2B wish - received similiar text. but got a letter in our stateroom telling us to pack.
