Lack of Excursions on Dawn Eastern Caribbean

[Mrearl]

I looked over the list of Excursions and some of the Islands we are visiting do not have many excursion sponsored by NCL I have been to these islands before on other cruise lines example St Thomas the other cruise lined offered trips to St John champagne sailing on catamaran and to beaches on St John. I do not see any of those offers. Is this normal for NCL, so few Excursions

Also they are the only cruise line that does not offer bottle water on their beverage package or speciality coffee

When is your cruise?

 

For some reason NCL seem to be very late listing their excursions lately.

My cruise is January 17 2018 6 month away on the Dawn. Thanks for the reply

I think it is just a delay on their part-- your are still pretty far out.

Also, water, it's because they want you to BUY the water package they offer. :)

NCL will show excursions much closer to your cruise date and there will be plenty to select from. The free water on the ship is filtered similar the Aquafina you can purchase. Perhaps bring a reusable water bottle or use the cup that will come with your beverage package to help yourself to water.

 

I've been fortunate enough to sale with Casinos At Sea perks and can get complimentary bottled water while playing in the casino. It is the only beverage perk that includes complimentary bottled water. Those that sail in suites may also confirm what complimentary water comes as part of the "suite" life.

 

I'm not sure if water such as Pellegrino is included in the beverage package, I've never had that package. If I really wanted a bottle of Pellegrino with dinner I'd just accept that I'll be charged. In my way of thinking I'd probably just chalk up a portion of my OBC to cover such a "treat". Even with a small OBC like $25 there is enough to cover a few glasses of wine with dinners, fancy coffee, Pellegrino, etc.

 

By the way, I really enjoyed the Dawn during a Christmas cruise last year (from New Orleans). This year I'm set to sail her for Thanksgiving from San Juan. Biggest advice: buy the Thermal Suite online prior to sailing it will be a nice getaway onboard and pre purchase saves about $20.

We FINALLY are seeing a larger list of excursions for our Western and Eastern Caribbean cruises now...and we are around 60 days out! So be patient...but check routinely! As I must have checked 10+ times per day for the ONE that I truly wanted....and was in Vegas when I noticed that it had FINALLY appeared! Quickly went onto my Ipad to book the excursion.....but was left wondering why it took so long for the entire list of excursions to post.....

 

But I do not profess to understand the "ins and outs" of running a cruise line! Just happy that I did manage to get the one that was most important to me.

 

So again, be patient....but check "early and often!: as once they appear....some do sell out quickly!
