Loved star gazing at night. Using the binoculars during the day watching the shipping containers being unloaded, looking for big marine life in the sea and harbors.

It's actually up to the port (state laws) if you need to disembark between B2B's. In LA San Pedro port. you need to leave the ship in a group with others doing B2B. They walk you out of the terminal and then back in through customs. It took all but 30 minutes to get back on, and I'm in a wheelchair. Don't forget your passports. Another point. You don't have to attend the safety muster drill a second time going out of the same port.If you are changing cabins, all you need to do is empty all the draws,closet and safe. They will take all your hanging garments and move everything for you.

Our Princess vacation planner told us once when were going to try a back to back was when you are changing cabins they will bring a luggage cart to your cabin and load up your luggage and move it to your next or other cabin. She also said it's up to the captain as to whether you have to disembark or if you can just go up to one of the upper decks.

We are doing a b2b Jan 4 and Jan 11. What did you all do when your 1 cruise ended? Did Princess let you stay on the ship or did you have to get off, then back on again? Also what did you do with your luggage at that time? We are changing rooms fe it the 2nd leg. Just a couple questions we have. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed your vacation
