PAcruiser19372 Posted December 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Is it normal for the cruise line to offer a limited number of excursions in December? Going to the same Island in April and they offer 21 excursions. Same Island in December and they're only offering 6 excursions. Is this the norm? Is that time of the year a time when a good number of excursion operators take off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 19, 2018 If the cruise is for Dec 2019 or 2020, then they may add more excursions as the cruise gets closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, click on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAcruiser19372 Posted December 21, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Thank you both, yes, the December cruise is in 2019 and yes I've checked it twice, just like a Christmas list and there are only 6 offered, no view all, just a "back to the top".

sometimes sailor Posted December 22, 2018 #5 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Many of the cruise lines now contract out the shore excursions rather than run their own. As such, the cruises with dates far into the future are simply not under contract as yet while the one in a few months have all the tours scheduled. As the sailing date approach, the number of offerings will increase, but you can be certain that some offered in April will not be available in December. They do change vendors regularly due to service performance or feedback from passengers as to activities they would prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
