Last, how do you know you are getting the discount? Appreciate any and all comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate any and all comments We have cancelled excursions and rebooked with an offer before but I can’t see any offer of a Black Friday excursions discount on our booking?

I went through our list of booked excursions, cancelled and then immediately rebooked three of them because of reduced pricing, and saved $91 when I was done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not see this on the web site and when I log into the voyage planner, I can not see any excursions for the 3 upcoming reservations I have on sale?

Wondermouse Posted November 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I looked on mine and ended up booking a couple because of the discount. You will see a yellow banner across the ones that are on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loafin Posted November 25, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Hi! I just posted on the Azamara Newbie site. Yes, I saw the sale and contacted our travel agent. She maintained the same booking and cabin assignment. But…. got us an extra $500 OBC and a very substantial monetary amount off our cruise price. Gives new meaning to Thanksgiving! Good luck!

TeaBag Posted November 25, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Nothing on ours either (Spice Route) but then, it seems to be excluded from every offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted November 25, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Perhaps the sale offer for excursions is coming in by email for targeted cruises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted November 25, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 25, 2022 They run sales on shore excursions from time to time. We had two different sales leading up to the Oct. 6 Journey cruise, each time some excursions were on sale and others weren't and it was never clear why excursions were selected. I got the emails announcing the sales, but they didn't specify which excursions were on sale – the only way was to go through my booking online and see which prices had changed. I cancelled and rebooked whatever was on sale, and between the two sales we saved quite a bit of money. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cw global Posted November 25, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Thanks for the heads up and "how to", just saved a bit on a couple of tours in the Caribbean in December! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Stem to Stern Posted November 26, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I just checked. No sales to be found on my upcoming excursions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjfan417 Posted November 26, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Nothing booked until next July-ran through our bookings and no shore excursion discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roberts2005 Posted November 26, 2022 Author #14 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Follow up. On our January 24th South America plenty of discounts. On our April Asia, cruise, no discounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurieb Posted November 26, 2022 #15 Share Posted November 26, 2022 For those of you who have received the discounted shore excursion offer, could you please share the sailing date and ship with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azjoy Posted November 26, 2022 #17 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the info on the sale. We didn't get the email but I found that several of the excursions we had already booked for a December cruise were discounted. BUT - I checked the "discounted" price against what we had already paid and there was only 1 out of 3 excursions where the "discounted" price was lower. So, if you've already booked excursion, I'd recommend checking your original price before rebooking. Also, the discounts were only available on our December cruise, not the one we have booked in March.

takemewithyou Posted November 26, 2022 #18 Share Posted November 26, 2022 It seems like many of these people who have posted are sailing in January. It would certainly be helpful if people would just inform us what ship and what sailing date. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blag Posted November 26, 2022 #19 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Be very careful. This offer may not be what it seems. Four of the excursions we have booked for our cruise next month are listed as being offered at 10% or 20% discount. But in two cases the discounted price is more than we originally paid! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercruiser Posted November 26, 2022 #20 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Thanks for the tip. I booked a new excursion at a 20% discount. I also noticed that one of my previously booked excursions (not on the Black Friday sale) went up quite a bit from what I booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCruise Posted November 26, 2022 #21 Share Posted November 26, 2022 7 sailings to 5 continents in the next year and a half and not a single discounted excursion, but the first sailing isn't until April so maybe this is a December/January mainly deal.

Nearer the time of embarkation for each cruise there are usually discounts, but note my post #19, because the 'discounts' may not be real.

Yes, I saw that. So like many of the "sales," caveat emptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discounts are real - for those who haven't booked yet or who booked recently at the high price. You got an even better deal by booking early, but that's not something you can replicate for others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
