Rottweilermom Posted January 16, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Is it better to book your shore excursions before or during your cruise? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwenmark Posted January 16, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2007 You can book before, if you change your mind you can change them on board but at least you don't miss out on the ones you think you want that might be popular. you get refunded if you cancel at least 24 hours prior to the excursion.

CaribbeanBound Posted January 17, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Book them yourself before you go. Search out the individual port threads on Cruise Critic to find out which are the good tours and who to book with. You'll save 25%-50% and get a much better, more private tour, than if you booked with the ship. Here are the details of all of our Caribbean tours...

I am very scared to try to do one without the ship as I am concerned about being left behind or scammed. I don't travel at all (I work 7 days a week) so this whole thing is new to me. I very much appreciate your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dforeigner Posted January 18, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2007 You can book before, if you change your mind you can change them on board but at least you don't miss out on the ones you think you want that might be popular. you get refunded if you cancel at least 24 hours prior to the excursion. If possible, yes this is the way to go. This way you avoid the possibility of an excursion being oversold by the time you try to book on-board. Also, many recommend that you book through the cruise line on your first cruise in order to get familiar with the process. An advantage of booking through the cruise line is that if you are late getting back, the ship will usually wait for your tour group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trixie belle Posted January 30, 2007 #8 Share Posted January 30, 2007 We arrive in San Juan at 3 pm. I've been researching and everything I've read shows tours ending at 3. Is this true or do tours run all day?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
