Seagirl123 Posted January 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Do most shore excursions fill up usually? I will be getting an OBC from the TA I went through but it won’t be added until closer to the cruise. Is it safe to wait to book an excursion? Or if I paid for it would they refund the difference with the OBC? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted January 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2019 nothing will be refunded, OBC applies to the first purchase, so it really does not matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpcaruth Posted January 14, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) It is my understanding through the years, that cruise lines do not sell all the excursion slots through pre-booking online. They keep a certain amount of the slots for onboard booking. I have done exactly what you are suggesting: booked once onboard to utilize my OBC. I do recommend booking as early as possible when you get onboard. I doubt they will have the Shore Excursions desk open at embarkation, but you can check. Also, I would try the app. I have used the app to make dinner reservations as soon as we have boarded the ship. OBC cannot be used prior to the cruise. You can on use it once onboard...

Schoifmom Posted January 14, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The most popular excursions will sell out prior to setting sail. Unfortunately, Carnival does not allow On-Board Credit to be used prior to sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagirl123 Posted January 14, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Okay thanks guys! I’ll just book them to be safe and use the OBC for drinks 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
