When do shore excursions post?

Being as your cruise is a repositioning cruise -- start checking around Thanksgiving. I have found that on many of our repositioning cruises the shore excursions didn;t start to show up until 5 months or less.

 

One time one of our ports didn't show any excursions until 2 weeks before our cruise.

 

Your ports are ones that are not visited on a weekly basis -- thus it takes longer to line up vendors.

Thanks KK---that makes sense----the ports for the Nieuw Amsterdam repo in April haven't shown up either and I check daily. On the other hand, the ports from Barcelona to Venice haven't made an appearance yet. I am ready to pounce when they do.

As I mentioned earlier, our next cruise in March has had some ports available for several months. This cruise is usually done only once or twice a year and our ports are certainly not visited on a weekly basis - or even monthly. So, there is no 'set' answer.

Thanks, KK. This makes sense now. I've never had a problem with previous cruises (excursions were posted sometimes a year in advance), but those cruises were the type that repeated. Being that this is my first transatlantic/repositioning, I was not sure what to expect. So, thanks very much to you. (Like Sapper, I had been checking on a daily basis!)
