I got all excited... and then ....

HAL let me down :(

We're booked on the Mediterranean Tapestry leaving Barcelona next June. It's too early for shorex to be posted or so the page has always said when I tried LOL

This morning I got an email saying shorex were ready to be booked. Went there. Same message in red:( My guess is that they sent a generic email to everyone who has a cruise booked. What a bummer :( Don't tease me like that HAL.

Oh well. Maybe some chocolate will ease my disappointment :D

Sorry about your disappointment.

Chocolate does help!!

Hopefully in the next 270 days before your cruise, this will all sort out. Plus they may add even more choices the closer to the actual date of the cruise. We keep checking to see if anything more is added from our first look a few months out. Pre-booking can be critical if there are popular and limited tours, but rarely have we run into a sold out tour.

More likely they add more busses, and there are often last minute cancellations if you do end up on a wait list. We even jumped on the bus in the Athens/Piraeus parking lot at the dock when we learned at the last minute after our arrival for our DIY day in Athens that the metro into town was on strike, so they signed us up for the shore tour right then and there in the parking lot.

We got the same email - I know the shore excursions are up for our cruise in February, but I had wanted DH to book a couple of Pinnacle nights, and that had not been available. Perhaps it's still not available!

It is a generic email - I got the same one for my cruise and of course there are no shore excursions ready - nor any PG to book.

Give it time and don't let it bother you.

HAL really needs to fix these generic emails to match when things are really ready - yeah right:rolleyes: I'm really dreaming;)

Got a note from a friend who emailed HAL - PG dinners for 2014 should be available by November if that helps at all Ann

Thanks, Jacqui, I'll be mighty hungry by then. Guess I'll break out the chocolate, too.

I just read that PG reservations for 2014 will be available in November 2013. I've been stymied in trying to book but at least now I know I can in November. :D

Sorry for your disappointment. Hopefully waiting a bit longer will result in them adding some great tours. :)

I got the same email today. Strangely, it was kind of personalized. It had my booking number for my Amazon cruise, but nothing about my April voyage on the Amsterdam. Perhaps stranger still, I've booked all my shorex for the Prinsendam but nothing for the Amsterdam.

Thanks for your kind comments and suggestions:)

It was meant more as a tongue-in-cheek post than a whine. It IS early for ours to be up. I just thought the email was rather funny under the circumstances.

I have already poked around for private tours in certain locations where I know what HAL will offer won't match our interests.

We may be on the same cruise (June 17). I called and shore excursions will be available mid November.

We are:) Be sure to check in on the rollcall.

And thanks for the information:)

Oops. The original semi-roll call has poofed. Thanks for starting a new one!
