Viking Please Give Us Prices for West Indies Excursions!

[OBX Cruisers]

We'll be sailing on the January 16, 2017 Viking Star for their West Indies Explorer. Appreciate that they've posted the excursions on the description of the sailing. We need the prices for these tours, however, so we can plan and budget.

 

For instance, we are trying to decide whether to book an independent catamaran sail in Antigua and may want to make a reservation now before they are fully booked. (There will be five cruise ships in port that day.)

 

Surely you know the costs when you decide to offer the tours. I'm sure the guests on the October 18 cruise are getting even more antsy.

 

P.S. You also took forever to post tour prices on our Viking Star Homelands cruise in 2015. Please know this is important to many of your passengers.

Please know this is important to many of your passengers.

 

Agreed. More information sooner!!

 

Just because we can't book the shorex until 3 months out does not mean that we aren't planning and researching from the day we make our cruise reservations. We want to know what the ship is offering, at what times and for how much.

I think Viking is working through maiden voyage problems. On our Viking Homelands cruise, a paid excursion was cancelled after we were on board because the provider backed out. This will probably continue to happen until Viking and their many providers/guides/etc. finalize their agreements and prove satisfactory for both parties. We received a refund to our onboard account. We also received a partial refund when we expressed our disappointment with another paid excursion. Viking has no doubt booked other passengers on that same excursion during future cruises, and will now need to either redesign with the provider or find another provider for that excursion, or cancel those also.
