Back-to-Back Cruises Explained: Everything You Need to Know Before You Book

Creator's Key Takeaways
We're on a back-to-back cruise. And we've been on a lot of back-to-back cruises. That's how we do 42 days or 53 days in a row.
If you're not using a travel agent, what happens is when you align a couple of cruises together that you're going to do back-to-back, you have to make sure the room is available.
If it's nonrefundable onboard credit, either use it or try to cycle it through the casino because that's where you can charge that onboard credit onto your slot machine.
It's always better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
