Booking Shore Excursions

[kkettle70]

Hi Everyone,

 

My Husband and I have booked a European cruise on the Carnival Freedom for June 30, 2007. We have already paid our deposit in full. I have always assumed that once the deposit was paid on a cruise you could book shore excursions. Am I wrong? If so, when can we book shore excursions?

 

Also, I was wondering if anyone knows if we should book a room on the port or starboard side of the ship. We are currently on the port side of the cruise ship. We would love to have a good view since we have booked so early.

 

Thank-you in advance for any assistance,

 

Kristai

Although sometimes available earlier, the target is 180 days out. Patience Grasshopper.

 

As to which way a ship will "park" at a given port, it is a crap shoot, in my case, Murphy's law dicates I will always pick the wrong side of the ship. :rolleyes:
