Schonert Posted September 28, 2020 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I know in the past Excursions were not listed on a cruise until a few months before the trip. I have rebooked for Alaska for next Sep. All the excursions are showing up, including prices. It lets you select a time and the Passengers, but then when you click buy, it says there are errors for certain passengers (all those selected) The cruise contract is completed. Any ideas? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
coo359a2 Posted September 29, 2020 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Not sure . I have cruises booked in Aug/Sept 2021 and Nov/dec 2021. I have booked several excursions on each cruise which are confirmed and haven't had a problem. All the ones I booked, only had the one time slot for the cruise and I haven't completed the cruise contract on all of them. Even was able to book a tour for March 2022. I am guessing that even though the cruises have excursions that can be booked, that by the time we start cruising some excursions might be changed and possible price increase. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Are all the passengers adults? Sometimes excursions have age restrictions on them. Regards John Link to post Share on other sites
franktown Posted September 29, 2020 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Ran into that problem last winter on a snorkel excursion. The excursion had a age limit and one person in are party was considered to old. Link to post Share on other sites
Italy52 Posted September 29, 2020 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I was able to book my August 2021excursion with no problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Syracusefan44 Posted September 29, 2020 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Like others I have prepaid my excursions for my August 2021 (NYC - Greenland) and November 2021 (FLL - Tahiti) cruises without a problem. Not sure why you are having an issue booking excursions. Link to post Share on other sites
lilypod7 Posted September 30, 2020 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2020 All of the excursions for my 19 Jun 2021 British Isle cruise are listed as ready to book but when I tried I received an error message and called Princess rep to find out why and it seems that, though the reservations appear, the contracts are not yet fixed. Perhaps it is a Brexit problem on this particular cruise. Regardless, the error message seems to mean excursions not ready to book. Link to post Share on other sites
pkt1976 Posted October 1, 2020 #8 Share Posted October 1, 2020 My Alaska Cruise is doing that too. My Panama Canal Cruise lets me book excursions. Weird Link to post Share on other sites
Thrak Posted October 1, 2020 #9 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Given the proposed changes to excursions I can't see the point of booking excursions at this time. Link to post Share on other sites

Just the opposite. I booked my summer excursion because of the fear of it being sold out if we must take a Princess Tour. I will cancel the cruise if I am not allowed to walk around town by myself. No sense in going then. Thanks to caribill and others for their help on another thread. It was easy! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Weird I was just able to book the excursions this morning. We are going next Sep, so it could have been a month thing, now that we are in Oct, it allowed the booking. Enough OBC so no risk to book it now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We booked a cruise last Sep for Feb 2021. If this situation with COVID doesn't change the only way you will be able to get off the ship is with a shore excursions through Princess. I can see the possibility that some ports maybe open and others with limited access. At least by booking now we can cancel the excursion and decide what we want to do later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
