Tiki_Man Posted August 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Question - do most folks book their excursions with PG prior to sailing? I have all our private excursions handled but trying to figure out how to book the PG excursions. In particular the scuba diving tours. I have printed all the forms including the booking forms, but when I try to go on-line it just goes into cyber space with no return. Any hints or suggestions? I would like to do the same thing for a couple other excursions but have not figured out the system yet. Thanks in advance Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightMedic555 Posted August 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Some of the SCUBA excursions can only be booked on board. I would call them to reserve what you can as they do sell out. They usually give you up to 24-36 hours in advance to cancel if you want without any penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Familygoboston Posted August 9, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2013 PG had not offered the ability to book excursions on line for many months now, has that changed? I'm pretty sure you can't book online anymore, you have to call, unless they started up that part of their website again just recently. You can book when you get on board- but that was one of the few lines we ever had to stand in, and the only place on board we received poor service. I'd book ahead if they let you. Also, some popular excursions sell out, so if you have your heart set, I'd pre reserve it if they will let you. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I will call PG direct and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted August 9, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 9, 2013 We did for the kids program awhile back (we are on the trip before you next week) by calling. We were going to book some of the PG on board but as FGB pointed out as others have mentioned about the person(s) at shore-ex on board, it sounds like I might as well book in advance to avoid the possible person(s).

Gardening Girl Posted August 9, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 9, 2013 We were unable to book any of our PG excursions online for the June 26th sailing, we too booked all our excursions by calling PG direct before sailing. I highly recommend you book any that you are interested in ahead of time and like flightmedic said, you can cancel up to 24 hours in advance without financial penalty. The popular ones book up, and especially those that have a limited amount of equipment like jet ski's and catajets, etc. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvhanalei Posted August 9, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I just read somewhere on PG's website that you can pre-book excursions 60 days prior to sailing. Call 800-848-6172 to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiki_Man Posted August 9, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I called this afternoon and they were so pleasant on the phone. Now Mary and I just need to pick the ones (and hope they are available). I like the old fashioned method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Familygoboston Posted August 10, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 10, 2013 PG makes the "old fashioned" method work because the phone folks are so friendly, knowledgable and helpful!:D Have fun picking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted August 10, 2013 #11 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Exactly - the 3 or 4 times I've called about something, those folks are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second seating Posted August 12, 2013 #12 Share Posted August 12, 2013 We made shore excursions by phone! The Ecco Snorkeling in Bora Bora was fantastic! It was only the two of us so we did not use the music (limited to 6). Laurent was so knowledgable about the coral and fish. Second seating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
