Rain and Carnival Excursions

[Nevada Jen]

I am cruising in a few days. I have two carnival excursions booked. In Freeport, the Kayak through the mangroves tour and in Nassau, the Blue Lagoon Family Beach day. What happens if it rains? Do either of these get cancelled? If they don't actually get cancelled, but I want to cancel, when do I need to cancel them by to get my money back? Seriously considering cancelling Blue Lagoon, as I believe it will be wasted without being able to lay on the beach or play in the Ocean, which is the sole reason I booked it. I was not super excited to do either of them even with sunshine, but wanted to book something through Carnival as it is my first time traveling "abroad" in decades and this time I will be doing it as a single mom with just my son. I'm just not comfortable exploring on my own. But seriously, add in rain to either of them and the fun factor just isn't going to be there.

Rain will not be a factor for the shore excursion companies. The only weather that cancels shore excursions are big seas and wind, which usually go hand in hand.

While it's not in the policy so I wouldn't expect it, we received our money back when we cancelled on the ship because our daughter had to much sun the day before.

I will also tell you I have done the kayaking excursion in Freeport and it was wonderful.

Rain, especially with a "water sport" sort of excursion won't stop it! You'll be wet either way! Only a lightening storm or a tropical storm might stop an excursion.

 

You can cancel up to 24 hours (or maybe, 48)....it varies.....if you don't want to go.

I'm not sure I understand why you can't be in the ocean when it's raining. You'll already be wet anyway. We went to Blue Lagoon last month and had a nice time. I don't enjoy downtown Nassau so it was nice to get away.

As some have said these types of tours usually run.

 

If you are within the cancellation date and the tour runs you either have to go or not show up but you will not receive a credit.

As mentioned, tours are not usually cancelled for rain.

Once they have your $$$ they don't cancel for rain.
