Shore excursion discounts

[knbcruisers]

Has anyone ever seen Princess shore excursions discounted once you are on the ship? We have a stop in Ocho Rios and I really don’t want to commit to anything now , especially since they must be prepaid. I was hoping there would be some better offers once we boarded, perhaps one that wasn’t selling so well? This is a March 2018 10 day partial PC transit so not so many kids and an older crowd. I was hoping for a better price on zip lining. [emoji6] I know I can book my own excursion with one of the tour providers, but that still requires a reservation and deposit. I really don’t want to commit right now.

No. I have seen 10% discounts a few weeks before sailing. However typically the excursions cost the least right after they are opened for reserving. I find the popular ones increase in price the closer you get to sailing.

We have not experienced any discounted price once onboard. But we have experienced an onboard price of $10 more over online price on some like on our Baltic cruise.

Never seen a discounted shore excursion. I have seen tour prices go up between the time they’re available and boarding the ship. That’s not unusual and happens fairly frequently. I’ve even seen a tour price that went up three times before boarding. Supply and demand.

Sigh....I guess I will have to be content to take my chances in Jamaica. The canal day excursions are more important to get booked early. Thanks for all the quick responses.

Have you compared the prices to a private tour company? If a private company offers the same tour for less take it. If it’s an exact match (unlikely), Princess will match it.

Yes I explored some private tours but nothing jumped out at me. DH now thinks he doesn’t want to get off the ship. So my plan is to make no plans[emoji846]
