Hi, dw and I did a back to back in June July this year and loved it. The first week was westren and with then kids. Then we booted them off so they could spend a week at OKW. Then they returned to pick us up at the end of the b to b. We told Guest services we were staying on. They had us come down to the desk around noon after the ship was emptied, escorted us to the desk at the terminal where we took our cruise docs and passports and got escorted right back on. The whole process took twenty minutes actually off the ship and I did it in a bathing suit and flip flops! (boy, did we get looks!). They were great. While we were on the ship alone we did laundry, walked around and tried to stay out of the crew's way. I also had our room attendent do our room last so he could take his time getting to all of the others first. He was most appreciative. Since we stayed in the same room we were on the same dining rotation. We plan another b to b in 2005.
I have heard from others, however, that did not have to leave the ship at all. I think its variable. Have a great time! Wes
As it stands right now, we are really leaning toward the 8/28 cruise to complete our back-to-backs.
