Creator's Key Takeaways

I love backtoback cruising. I side to side cruising is a little more can be a little more stressful if you're going um from two different ports, but I love them.

If you don't see a itinerary that really fits your what you are looking for and you have the time to do it, absolutely try back to back.

That's I guess my favorite part of a backtoback is that everyone else is so sad that morning and I'm so excited because I'm not getting off.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Let Disney know you are doing a back-to-back or side-to-side when making your reservation.

✓If you don't receive a back-to-back instruction letter by the late afternoon before your sailing ends, visit Guest Services.

✓Ask Guest Services about complimentary motor coach transfers if doing a side-to-side in the same port.

✓If changing rooms during a back-to-back, inform your stateroom host of your new room number to assist with moving belongings.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Logistics of changing ships/ports in side-to-side cruising — It takes more work and counting on nothing going wrong, but using the Brightline train is a great way to manage the transition between Florida ports.

Packing and moving belongings between sailings — If staying in the same room, you don't have to pack. If changing rooms, the stateroom host can move your belongings for you.
