These types of events are only available to sign up for after boarding the ship, and are not available to book via HAL's website in advance.

 

See response to #1.

 

Shore excursions typically become available ~6-9 mos out, so you have a few more months to go.

 

 

I tried to answer your questions (embedded in your post above), but others can add to (or correct) my responses.

Krooznut covered your questions pretty well. A couple of other things to keep in mind. If you have any HAL issued OBC you cannot like other cruise lines use it to book shore excursions, spa services or specialty restaurants until you board. If you like Asian cuisine, make sure you try Tamarind on the Eurodam at least once, it is our favorite specialty restaurant on any cruise line.

Thank you both very much for your information (Yes, we love Asian cuisine).  I'm just trying to learn the HAL system.  Really excited to try another cruise line.

We will be first-time cruisers on HAL Eurodam in April 2024 (currently Disney CC Platinum) with a few questions:

1.  Where (on the HAL website) do we find all the possibilities for bookings (wine tasting, beer tasting, cooking classes, etc)?

2.  When do we start booking? 

3.  When are shore excursions listed on the website? Right now it says nothing listed for our cruise.

This is a very informational site but 222 pages of data is overwhelming. TIA

OMG...sky diving beats a day at Margaritaville.   How exciting and a great video.  Enjoying your posts and the ship is beautiful.

You must be all settled in by now.  Have a great cruise.
