caminomama Posted January 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2023 We were wondering if additional excursions, other/different than pre-cruise online, are available on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare foodsvcmgr Posted January 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I have not found that to be the case in the past. I am hoping perhaps it is currently the situation because for my t/a on Rotterdam this October there are only 3 or 4 excursions offered online in each port other than pricey private car tours. Maybe more will be added later? Way less options at this point than what we are used to seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanmom Posted January 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2023 On our Zaandam cruise last month they were adding excursions pretty much up until the time of embarkation. However once onboard there were no new offerings. Just check the app or website every few days before you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted January 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Sometimes more sections are offered if they are sold out and there is a good waiting list - when they get closer to port and arrangements can be made. Sometime, shuttle busses to downtown areas will be added later, in the event local taxis had previously protested. Again when they get closer, they find if they can work this out. New topics for shore excursions are far more unlikely, but it can happen particularly if there is a special event for that particular cruise timing. Considering how much ground transportation and staffing that needs to be coordinated for tours, these things do need to be scheduled and confirmed in advance which makes additions of very new items more unlikely. But you never know. However, many make their own arrangements for private operators if there is something you really want to do. We arranged a private company for a"Levada" hiking tour on Madeira once - incredible hiking route through their ancient mountainous water ways carved in stone When we finished the hike they delivered people back to their hotels, one by one. But when the bus headed to the harbor to take us back- everyone on the tour bus laughed and cheered when they saw our "hotel" was a HAL ship! It was a great trip and all worked out well.

Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted January 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2023 The only additions I've seen onboard are more time slots if a tour is popular. And sometimes, airport shuttles are only available to book on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
