bryanjaync Posted April 12, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Sending my parents on a 10-day cruise on the Zenith in December 2006. The really want certain shore excursion (Panama Canal by Ferry). The X site had been saying excursions available on or AFTER April. The web site still says not available and will not allow me to download brochures. .....Called X shore excursions and they said not available for booking until August. To you experienced cruisers....does that sound right ....that December shore excursions are not available until August ? Just want to make sure my parents are not locked out of their chose of excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mahdnc Posted April 12, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2006 We have booked shore excursions before on-line for our past cruise and I remember that there was a limit on how far in advance you can do it. We are booked for Dec 2006 Constellation cruise and cannot book a shorex on-line yet. When we booked the Panama Canal Ferry (on-line) last year for our Horizon cruise, it had spaces still available when we boarded the ship. The Canal by railroad was the one that sold out fast--must have been from on-line booking. The railroad trip has the advantage of climate control. The ferry trip has an air conditioned deck (1st deck) and a top deck that was canopied but open to the humidity. But the ferry trip has the advantage of watching the canal in action up close and personal..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagolass Posted April 15, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2006 Hi, We're booked for an October Mediterranean cruise. We tried to book ship's tours listed on the website, but were told that Celebrity's policy states that the cruise must be paid in full before tours can be booked. Our final payment isn't due until the end of July. We'll just wait and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneg Posted April 15, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2006 We did the Canal by Ferry from Zenith last year and enjoyed it; you get a unique perspective on the Canal from the smaller ship ( the ferry). There should be no problem booking the excursion as the ferry has lots of room. Hope that's useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agabbymama Posted April 20, 2006 #6 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Chicagolass, Don't know who told you that, but I'm booked on Constellation in September/October and I have not totally paid my fare. I was able to book excursions on the Celebrity website, paid for them and received my confirmation that the tickets would be in our cabin upon arrival. Only one port, Sydney Nova Scotia, did not have any excursions yet. Keep trying. Good luck. agabbymama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted April 21, 2006 #7 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hi, there seems to always be discrepencies about how far in advance you can book excursions:eek: Sometimes it is within 90 days.....sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. Being as we are in April though, I am not surprised you can't book them for a December cruise. When I sailed Summit back in October they seemed to be editing our excursions for a LONG TIME. I remember because it was inside the 60 day period before I could book anything.:rolleyes: Other cruises I have been able to do it much earlier. Just keep checking. Hope this helps:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
