Exchanging shore excursion credit for OBC ?

[horseymike]

Has anyone ever inquired with HAL about exchanging included shore excursion credits for an OBC ?

We have a future cruise booked that includes shore excursion credits but the OBC  would work much better for us .

Thanks in advance for your replies.

They do not allow this.  Your choice is to book a shore excursion or lose it.

I was actually talking to a friend the other day who did succeed at this.  she went to the Shore Excursion desk and it was done for them.  I don’t know if she lucked out but it did happen.  She did it on board.

If you try it, don’t go to Guest Services - you need to go to the specific spot where it is assigned (shore excursions).

 

But, generally speaking, it is a use it or lose it proposition and you definitely can’t do it before you sail.

I had quite the discussion about this. My issue was the only “excursions” available on a cruise last December to a wheelchair user (me) were accessible villas at Margaritaville at Turks and Caicos,  the “train” at T&C, and a villa on Half Moon Cay (which was much more than the credit. I’ve been on the train tour 4 times. 

 

No dice.

I have attempted this on several ships (due to cancelations, missed ports, weather issues, etc) with ZERO success.  It's always a "no".

It appears it is worth a try.  It was a no go for me at the Shore Excursion desk on the Zuiderdam in May.
