Lack of Excursions

[kenzie]

We are booked on the LA to Miami Joy cruise in January, there are no excursions at all in Costa Rica or Panama -is this the norm? 

 

Thank you for any replies

They aren’t loaded yet.  There will be tours.   Easy to simply book independently as well.

I’m booked on 10/19-11/2.   We still have NO excursions for two of the ports.   We’ve been told they should be up shortly... I’m sure they (NCL) are still playing catch-up from Cuba closing, and now dealing with the hurricane.  Looking several times a day for new excursions.  Waiting patiently...

We did a full Panama transit earlier this year (albeit in the other direction) and we had no excursions in Panama.  Basically, you don't stop, you just go thru the Canal all day.  This is different from the partial transits, where you stop in Gatun Lake & there are some things to do off the ship (the railway, &c.)  

 

(Costa Rica, eh, just seemed disorganized.  Our excursion there got cancelled so we just walked around the straw market at the foot of the pier.)

We did the Panama Canal several years ago.  There is a full transit of the canal but no stops at least on our trip.  In Costa Rica we did a wonderful excursion that included a small railroad trip and a boat ride with lots of croc feeding by the crew.  Awesome sight.
