jamona2311 Posted December 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Ok its almost down to two months till my Feb 21 cruise on the Fascination out of Barbados. I still haven't seen any Carnival excursions come available. Is this unusual?? I know the ones for my cruise( Vista Feb 10) came out months ago. If you have any thoughts, I would appreciate them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleYiaYia Posted December 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 19, 2017 jamona, We board Fascination on the 25th of February. Excursions have been available since I booked this spring. They actually added one the other day. When you go to Manage My Cruise does it not give you the option to book excursions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heids32 Posted December 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2017 We board in San Juan the 18th of February and my excursion options have been there as well. Strange! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakedoctor Posted December 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Ours have been there as well. A little Leary of the drydock. It's gonna be rushed. We have done probably 15 ships after drydock and alot of times they are finishing up things on the first sailing. Let's hope for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamona2311 Posted December 20, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hmmmm thanks everyone! And Hello!

That's the one Ive been wanting to check out....;) We don’t have a plan yet for February. But this past spring we booked an excursion over to Trunk Bay on St. John, it was my FAVORITE!!

jamona2311 Posted December 21, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted December 21, 2017 So just incase anyone is ever wondering...... I called carnival this morning and they said that because Im on a split cruise, I cant book excursions until Im on board. I also don't get FTTF, Reserved dining ( that I wanted since Im solo :( ), and some other stuff. So FYI. Im still glad Im leaving from Barbados tho :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a group of seven who are also sailing 2/25/18. We have a couple of private tours booked already. We want to go to St. John. I hope it will be ready for people in two more months. My husband is not convinced we'll actually cruise because he feels FEMA won't release Fascination as scheduled. At least we'd have a nice week in PR.

attran99 Posted January 18, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 18, 2018 We had a fantastic Barbados excursion that I booked independently in April 2017. We did a catamaran sailing that included snorkeling with sea turtles, snorkeling amongst shipwreck, drinks, and lunch. We did it through El Tigre Catamaran Cruises, and they picked us up at the port at Terminal 1. It was $88 per adult with discounted pricing for kids. We had a great day, the crew was amazing, the rum punch with good, and the yummy buffet lunch included some traditional Barbadian fare. If we ever make it back here we would happily book this excursion, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one Ive been wanting to check out....;) We headed over to Coki Beach for the day. The snorkeling was amazing...my family really enjoyed it. The staff there was super nice, and were not insistent on us ordering from their menu. Get there early so you can have your pick of spots on the beach if you want chairs and umbrellas (for a fee).

At least we'd have a nice week in PR. Unless they have a contract that allows for an extension I don't think FEMA can refuse to allow Carnival to take the ship back. Of course if Carnival wanted to they can always allow an extension but I doubt they would want to go thru the cancellation experience again with their customers. Enough people were P'd off the first time. JMHO, YMMV:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were cancelling last minute in September but everything was soooo nuts. I would think they would have an idea by now.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amydresh Posted January 19, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I am also sailing on the Feb 25th Fascination sailing. I am not worried about it being canceled, I would think they would have informed us by now since she is due to go into dry dock next week. I was planning to go to St John and go to a beach. I heard Trunk Bay can get really crowded so it was recommended to go to Cinnamon Beach. Should we plan to go to Trunk instead, is it a lot better?

MarriedInStThomas1807 Posted January 29, 2018 #18 Share Posted January 29, 2018 We’re booked on the 3/11 and 3/18 Fascination cruises. Please post lots and lots of pictures and videos of the upgraded ship (and of the islands after the hurricanes, of course). I will be waiting to see what the ship and islands all look like this year and expect a full report.
