I agree. You can reserve dining for your whole group on your app but for shore excursions you will have to call Shorex to book all at once or make a separate account for your husband (in my case my over 21 year old child) and book excursions that way but personally I call Shorex so I know for sure there is enough slots for my family.
I was looking at balcony cabins on the June 25, 2023 cruise on the Escape and when I click on a regular balcony room, it shows guarantee only. Does that mean that all regular balcony cabins are sold out and if I want to book, I won't know my cabin until last minute?
