seminolepharmd Posted September 10, 2007 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2007 We are booked on a 7-night western caribbean cruise aboard the Legend out of Tampa. The ports of call are Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize, and Costa Maya. Recently I noticed that the "add excursions" link popped up under my reservation so I've been looking at the different options. Some of the ports have many options, however, there is only 1 option thus far for Belize and no options are listed yet for Costa Maya. Is this due to the recent hurricane damage, or do they typically add more and more as the date gets closer? Thanks for any feedback. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have plenty to choose from, don't worry. And then again, you may be right because of the hurricane damage. If you are concerned, just call Carnival and ask them. We do not sail until September, and I keep checking ours, but no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris_Family Posted September 10, 2007 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Not sure on the timetable for adding excursions. We sail on the Legend late Oct. Belize shows a ton of excursions.:D The link has been removed from Costa Maya:mad: Hope this helps....Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the carnival site. http://www.carnival.com/CMS/Shore_Excursions_FAQs/shore_ex_faq_WhenCanIBook.aspx Provided you have a valid cruise booking number and have met all deposit requirements for each guest you are booking shore excursions for, you can book shore excursions online beginning 120 days before your sail date. Keep in mind, unless otherwise noted in the shore excursion description, you will have until 5 days prior to sailing to make new shore excursion bookings. If you would like to purchase excursions after the cut-off date, you will need to do so once onboard. Some excursions have a limited capacity so booking early may ensure that the excursions you want are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess our excursions have just started showing up a bit early! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafig Posted September 10, 2007 #8 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Since repairs for Costa Maya are expected to take at least 8 months, you will probably not be going there. That's why the excursions aren't listed. I'm going on Legend in December and I've had excursions booked since July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RizzoLee Posted September 10, 2007 #10 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Actually, you can start booking excursions at 180 days out, not 120. :cool: I was having the same problem with booking excursions, and started my own thread. After calling CCL a few times, I finally got the answer-they're 'renegotiating' tour operator contracts, and as they're finalized they'll be posted. I was told by the end of August for mine, but I still only have 5 posted out of over 50 for all 3 ports. :( Patience is not a friend of mine, lol.

Carnival recently changed the 180 to 120 on their website. So you should be Golden in 9 more days or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wulfdreamer Posted September 10, 2007 #12 Share Posted September 10, 2007 We actually booked a Costa Maya tour for our Dec trip a couple months ago. I noticed yesterday that the 'ADD EXCURSIONS' link for Costa Maya has been removed. My guess is that we won't be going there and they don't want to charge for tours that aren't going to happen.
