It was cheaper for a 4&5 night cruise compared to a 7 day out of same port around same time. First was Thurs - Mon then Mon - Sat. Cons to a the short B2B trips is they are usually on older ships, but this one was on the newly renovated Sunrise. One port of call is home terminal. More sea days getting somewhere twice, but I like sea days. Might go to same port twice. Pros besides a longer cruise, is cheaper than taking both cruises separate, especially with airfare. I have another B2B on this ship again and another B2B on the Breeze booked.

Good deal, so you got a 9 night cruise cheaper than a 7 nighter? Of course it also depends on the itinerary. Short cruises can't go as far. Often the longer the cruise, the higher cost per day. I assume that is because people spend less per day on board as the cruise is lengthened. You can only buy so much stuff.
