Anyone done back to back on Dream since restart?

[sethschroeder]

Trying to get info on what to expect. Never done a back to back. I will start researching more but wanted to know if anyone had experience they wanted to share since restart.

Not sure if this will be helpful to you, but we spoke with a couple on our cruise this weekend who did B2B on the 9th/13th and they said their time off the ship was longer than anticipated -- about 2 hours. They were still the first to re-board.

Two hours isn't bad at all. I find that to be on the low end of B2B and we have done a few.

Good to know! It sounds like they were told it would be an hour, and it ended up being 2.

We also heard a woman complaining about it at our Palo brunch to their server, and how they wish they had known so they could have brought snacks!

We did a B2B in 2017. The cruise ended in San Juan, it took forever for all the guests to depart the ship. There were over 50 of us doing the repositioning cruise back to PC.
They had us waiting together in D Lounge, they came and walked us down close to 10am for re-entry and the computers went down, we had to sit and wait quite awhile to get back on the ship.
We were on less than 30 minutes before new guests started arriving.

Hi All, Bringing this question back to the top. Any eyewitnesses recently off of their B2B that can give us a detailed accounting of what to expect? Thanks in advance!!

We did 2 last week. We got a note in the app from guest services to meet in pub 687 at 9:15 on embarkation day. We did. A cast member came around and verified our names and staterooms. Once all other passengers were off the ship (it took a while - They kept calling for random families to leave the ship) we were escorted off as a big group.

We went thru customs. It was a breeze. They were waiting for us. Then the cast member led us to the terminal and we sat as a group and waited. We all did have to go to the check in counter to show our safe passage QR code’s and online checkin form for the second cruise.

After about an hour, they led us back onto the ship. They did not tell us where we could go. I finally asked and they told us to go to cove cafe. They had free food and coffee for us. I checked our stateroom, but the main doors were closed. We went to deck 13 and then to cabanas. Then the staterooms were ready. Easy process. Probably took about 3 hours from meeting in the pub to back on the ship.

Thank you for the details!! Do you know if they will allow me to bring a laptop with me so I can do some work during the waiting times?
