MissKIA Posted May 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Carnival keeps sending me this email. It's kinda hard to book excursions when you don't have any to book Carnival! :rolleyes: Geeze Carnival, get with the program!

ferfoodle Posted May 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Same here. I have received 4 of these emails since booking, but not a single excursion out there yet. However, I can book spa treatments...:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted May 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Carnival keeps sending me this email. It's kinda hard to book excursions when you don't have any to book Carnival! :rolleyes: Geeze Carnival, get with the program! You may not want to believe their hype either. In all my cruises, I've never been denied an excursion due to overbooking. I have had excursions cancelled due to low sign ups, bad weather, and other causes.

bigdog1958 Posted May 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2014 It is kind of amazing how a company as large and sucessful as Carnival, can have such poor communication and computer skills as well as poor customer service. Each time you call or contact Carnival, you can get different info depending on who you are speaking to.. I like their cruises, but at some point, these issues could cost them..

leenieweenie Posted May 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Same here! I get very excited when i see the new e-mail, thinking the excursions are finally ready-then i check it out and no excursions are available. Bummer! I am so ready to book something even tho my cruise isn't till jan 2015! I am a planner! Come on carnival-we want to book excursions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted May 7, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 7, 2014 July??? Hadn't heard or seen that one yet.... I have spoken with them and they did tell me April/May. Then there was the post a few days ago about October. I wonder if the October one is related to the original comment I heard. "The excursions will be up no less than 120 days before sailing". So, this would fit the October timeframe. I've been watching since mid-Feb. And I am not "virtuous" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted May 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I am feeling very left out :rolleyes: I have cruised CCL at least once a year since 2009 and hardly ever receive any emails from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbmsmile Posted May 7, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have three cruises booked and there are no excursions available on any of them...the earliest one is Dec. 28, 2014. You would think at least the 2014 cruises would be up and ready to book!!:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so ready to book something even tho my cruise isn't till jan 2015! I am a planner! Come on carnival-we want to book excursions! My cruise is in February and I'm a planner, too! I am planning on booking the ones that we really, really want (and are popular) right away because I have seen sold out excursions before! For example, we booked a poolside cabana for our Liberty cruise and that sold out fast (although I'll NEVER book a poolside cabana again. Long story! :rolleyes:). I also believe that our dune buggy excursion in Jamaica sold out on our Freedom honeymoon cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingCruiserNJ Posted May 7, 2014 #11 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You may not want to believe their hype either. In all my cruises, I've never been denied an excursion due to overbooking. I have had excursions cancelled due to low sign ups, bad weather, and other causes. I have. Last year, tried to book a brewery tour onboard a cruise to the Bahamas I believe and it was sold out the first day of the sailing. It has only happened to me once but if it is popular enough it can and will sell out. Rare but it does happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissKIA Posted May 7, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted May 7, 2014 My Glory cruise is still 2 years away, but we really want to book the Private Oasis at HMC. Is it usually hard to book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never get a cabana at half moon cay:( we went on a new England cruise, just for the lobster excursions and all were booked!! we made out tho, we ventured on our own and found it cheaper and prolly better !!! but I really want a cabana:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beberenn Posted May 14, 2014 #15 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I honestly think they should put the excursions up 60 days in advance and that's it...because when u book your cruise two months out and log in to excursions the good ones are gone, and its not fair! Not everyone knows a year or six months in advance when they feel like going to the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beberenn Posted May 14, 2014 #16 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Build More cabanas! I think there are what 14 of them ? for 3000 people:((( I want one :( 2nd time to hmc and I still cant have one:( okay, yep im real disappointed...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beberenn Posted May 14, 2014 #17 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I prolly just want one cuz I can't have one, and I hate it when I can't have something I want! Because I prolly will be in the water or the bar the whole time anyways, so I guess I will spend that money on booze!
