If you just consider it a weekend getaway, it can be a lot of fun. For the price, you get a room for two nights with 6 meals, snacks and entertainment provided.
We just booked one this week for 2018 Our friends want to cruise Alaska in 2020, so by cruising in Fall 2018, they can book a placeholder that they can use on the Alaska trip in addition to having a quick DCL fix. So the 4 of us are leaving the kids at home and are having a parents-only weekend.
One other 2-night cruise we booked was part of a B2B so that we could get more time on the ship.
Can't do it!! Anything under a week is not worth the flight there and not feeling comfortable with the ship. If we lived in Florida, maybe it would be different. From Oregon, the longer the better.
If you live near the port, and want to use it as an opportunity to stay in a one or two bedroom suite (with a lower cost), I might consider it. Otherwise, for me, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
I definitely wouldn't travel to do a 2 day cruise, but if it left from our home port - sure why not. We've don'e some short 2-4 day cruises on other lines and they don't feel the same to me as a longer cruise, but still beats sitting at work!
I love them. Not as much as a longer cruise, of course. We just did one last month that was on our anniversary and it was probably one of our best cruises. If they left out of Los Angeles or San Diego more often, I would probably be on one every couple of months.
If I was local, then maybe. But my experience going out of Galveston was that boarding was a huge hassle, and that would make me think twice--that effort was worth it for 7 nights, but for just 2 nights, I'm not sure.
We added on a 3 night to go B2B. It was nice to disembark and get back on not too shortly after. I think we were one of only 4 families and it was fun to walk around an empty ship (only crew on board). We were offered free speciality coffee drinks at the Cove Cafe.
