norwega Posted July 15, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2021 We're booked on Crown Princess sailing 11/16. As of this date, it will be the 2nd cruise for this ship. I'm hoping it will happen, but not confident due to disagreements regarding asking for vaccine status. I'd like to book excursions to get what we want before they fill up. Am curious as to what others are thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted July 15, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Posting this on the Princess board (https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/119-princess-cruises/) will get you Princess-specific responses This board is for information (transportation, dining, lodging, etc,) for Florida ports. As a Princess cruiser I can tell you, from first hand knowledge when we had a two cruises canceled last summer, that if the cruise is canceled you will get a full refund for all booked excursions. If an excursion is important to you, I would recommend booking it now and keeping your fingers crossed that the cruise sails. We have already done so for some excursions on a March 2022 cruise but that is a much longer way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrednole Posted July 15, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2021 We have a deposit on 1 specific in St Maarten because space is very limited. Other than that one, not until we are sure to board. I think there is only one other port stop that we would and that may be a book in port thing in St Kitts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually have booked our own excursions through groups found on CC, but realize we need to book ship tours at this time. I'd be frustrated to go on a 10 day cruise and not be able to do any excursions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be frustrated to go on a 10 day cruise and not be able to do any excursions! I agree 100%. We are sailing out of Florida in March on a 10 day cruise. Our group (me, DH, my 2 brothers and spouses) includes a newbie so we really want her have an excellent time - especially since we've all booked a 28 day round Australia cruise in 2023! I was able to book our favorite independent snorkel excursion of all time (with Woodwind in Bonaire) and I've booked Princess excursions in other ports with the proviso that I'll keep looking for independent ones in the meantime. If you haven't seen this recent thread on the Princess board, you might want to follow it: I hope your cruise goes off without a hitch and you have a wonderful time!

franktown Posted July 15, 2021 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Booked Princess excursions for 2 of 4 ports. I see no downside as they are easy to cancel which I have already done on the 3rd port. Refund was back in my credit card in 3 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
