Is there a way to see excursions before booking a cruise?

[Sigyn]

I'm interested in doing a December 2023 cruise but I'd like to be able to do one with a scuba course available, where you do the poolwork in the ship's pool and the required open water dives at the ports. I know Royal Caribbean offers this on many of their cruises and they're the only cruise line that does. It's a fantastic way to get scuba certified for those of us who live inland. Is there a way to see in advance if this excursion will be offered, before I book a cruise?

TAs usually have access to the excursions, if available - they may not be that far in the future. You could also ask in the roll call thread for that sailing.

I "think" that you might might a scuba course offered on one of the Oasis class ships in the aqua theatre pool.  We sailed the Oasis in Mar, 2022 and I think I saw that being offered but can't be sure. I tried to look at my upcoming cruise but it doesn't show that kind of info yet. A TA might be able to be of assistance.

Im on Oasis in June 2023, they just posted it to get certified in Feburary.  It was $405pp.

My wife and I got certified a couple years ago. We did a transpacific cruise last year and there wasn't a single scuba excursion offered. We had to go 3rd party. 

 

I asked while on board and was told they can only offer scuba excursions if a master diver is on board which likely will only be on larger, caribbean orientated ships. Buy not a guarantee. 

 

We have a back to back to back out of Ft Lauderdale this December. There are scuba excursions but no courses offered. It's either excursions for fully certified divers or intro to scuba.

I have found in the past if I made a refundable deposit I could get more info on other activities on that sailing.

On the app “select another cruise”➡️“browse our ships”. Choose a ship and date. You can see what excursions are offered. Downside is it’s inconvenient and possibly not all excursions are loaded.

Travel agents can see exactly what a booked guest can see as far as shore excursions on most ships without having to have a guest booked on the ship
