Once your new one is activated, you won't need to carry your old one anymore. We've never heard of discounts offered specifically as incentives for people to book two round-trip sailings in a row.
Your best bet in those cases is to look for deals that apply individually to each of the two sailings you want to take. General cruise bargains range from straight-up price reductions and free onboard credit to discounts on third and fourth passengers and free add-ons like bottles of wine or dinner in a for-fee restaurant. There are however, sometimes lower price options on point-to-point cruises when the cruise line offers a choice between booking the same trip as two or more cruises back-to-back or a composite booked as one cruise.
A travel agent can help you sort through the options. Obviously, the more cruises you take and the more days you sail, the more points you accrue, and the more quickly you'll move up the tiers of your line's passenger loyalty program. You won't receive any more -- or any fewer -- points for taking back-to-back voyages than if you were to take two cruises six months apart.
However, back-to-back sailings are still considered two separate cruises, so if you reach a new level in your line's program during the first sailing, you'll receive the perks afforded to that tier upon the start of the second cruise. Generally, any alcohol you purchase ashore or onboard in one of the ship's duty-free shops will remain checked for the duration of both sailings. However, some cruise lines will allow passengers to take alcohol back to their cabins if it's purchased on the last night of a sailing.
If you're on a back-to-back and buy booze on the last night of the first cruise, there's a chance you'll be able to keep it in your cabin to have for the second voyage. Check our article on cruise line alcohol policies for details. Alcohol -- such as a bottle of wine -- purchased for consumption onboard in the ship's dining room can be carried over from one sailing to the next.
If you've booked back-to-back cruises on two different ships, much of the above information does not apply. You obviously won't be in the same cabin for both sailings, and at the end of the first sailing, you'll have to disembark, clear immigration and customs, and go through the embarkation process again at the port and terminal where your second ship is docked. You're also likely to encounter more logistical challenges with back-to-backs on two different ships.
You'll have to take all your luggage with you and arrange for transportation between ports or terminals, depending on where your second ship is located. Packing for a long cruise can be a challenge. What you should pack depends on two main factors: the itineraries and whether or not you're willing to do laundry onboard.
If you're headed to similar climates for both sailings, our advice is to pack enough for the longer of the two voyages and do laundry if a self-service option is available. You can also pay to have your laundry sent out if your ship offers a laundry service. Even if you decide not to wash your clothes onboard, you can still wear them again; keep in mind that your fellow cruisers on the second leg of your journey won't know what you wore during the first leg.
If you're sailing to two regions that greatly differ in terms of temperature and weather, you'll have to get creative. Pack enough clothing for half of your sailing to the first climate and half of your sailing to the second; then do laundry halfway through each cruise. Pack items that can be layered, so you can re-wear base layers in both destinations. No matter where in the world you choose to wander, cruises can take you deep into top-rated cruise ports and off-the-beaten-path gems, so you can experience each one like a local.
