PEIpair Posted August 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2018 We are 15 days from Sailing from Le Havre, FR. Went online today to book an excursion for Edinburgh on Sept 7th and was unable to do so. Do they usually close pre-booking this early? Or is there possibly a glitch online today? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible glitch...... I am 5 days out (Caribbean) and they are still available to book today. Are all your excursions not available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEIpair Posted August 13, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Nothing is available. They all say to "Book Onboard" or "Add to Wishlist". I'll keep checking. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted August 13, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Nothing is available.They all say to "Book Onboard" or "Add to Wishlist". I'll keep checking. Thank you Maybe due to it being a European cruise. Dont think I have seen them closed out that far out from a cruise. Looks like you will have to book onboard now. The personalizer usually only allows printing of boarding passes and bag tags within 5 days of sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted August 13, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2018 3 days for most. Some are 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted August 13, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2018 To early to close all tour bookings. Check to see if tours are available for other ports. Edinburgh is a popular tour port and maybe all available tours are already booked. I would call Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEIpair Posted August 17, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I have had my TA call Princess and the Prebooking for Excursions is indeed closed. That means it’s been closed 15 days prior to boarding! I did not expect this and if it was mentioned in our documents, I missed it. I was not expecting this and have been left with some plans unmade, that I was counting on. Thought others planning these UK cruises with Princess should know!

PEIpair Posted August 17, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I was shocked to find that I was unable to Pre-book Shore Excursions on-line after Monday Aug 13 for our Le Havre departure on Aug 28. I thought it was a website glitch but after having my TA place a phone call to Princess, it is indeed closed. If it was printed in our cruise information, I missed it. I realize a lot of folks don’t book cruise line excursions but there were a few things I wanted to have in place before we left Canada, especially for the tender ports. 15 days prior seems extreme to me but, oh well, lesson learned!

Hopefully that is not the case and your will be able to book onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Day Cruiser Posted August 17, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I am on the same cruise only leaving from Southhampton on August 29. I just was able to book an excursion tonight and it went through without any problem. Could leaving from LeHarve have something to do with your bookings? Might be something for your travel agent to check on . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
