RiotAct Posted October 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Does anyone know how far in advance they usually get posted for people to book them online? Logged into Carnival's site and went to the "Plan" tab --> Book Shore Excursions, but got the "We are still scheduling shore excursions for this sailing. Please check back in a few days to start planning a memorable vacation" message :( I'm still over 400 days out, but want to plan (way) ahead :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liv2vac2 Posted October 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2015 What I was told by carnival is 6 months out they have shore excursions ready. This seems to be especially true when it is in the next year. I have found if it is the same year then sometimes sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaluvma Posted January 30, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2016 you can do anytime we did ours 8 months out just remember to do early as the best ones go fast leaving you to find something else also if you planning on doing the FTTF to bypass the lines best do it asap as it goes early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted January 30, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think it was just under a year for us they started showing up. Keep in mind they don't ALL show up at once, so you may not want to rush into an excursion. Something better might come along later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaluvma Posted January 30, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I check in regularly to see if any changes if any new ones come up we might like better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted January 31, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks again everyone - since I've last posted, they have loaded a grand total of one excursion, a snorkeling/ziplining expedition in Grand Cayman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyart Posted January 31, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Independent booking is available anytime, if you're so inclined. For a tender port like Grand Cayman you don't want to book anything too early. We booked the dolphin swim, took the public bus that got us there in plenty of time for our 12:30 appointment. But the 11:00 option (that requires 10:30 arrival) would have been nearly impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaluvma Posted January 31, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 31, 2016 another thing I was thinking if you book your excursions thru an outside source instead of the cruise line if for some reason you late they wont wait for you where as the will try to wait for you if you booked thru them something to think about a lot of people do book outside of the cruise line tho in most cases the savings is not that much I have found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to book a cabana at the Royal Palms in GC, but they don't take reservations more than 6 months in advance it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
