Countdown to the Elation

I'm on the oct 17th rhapsody cruise, and I was told to check back in august! I don't know exactly when to check back!

I seems to vary by ship/specific sailing as to when you can book excursions. We booked online excursions for our Sept. Mariner cruise in Feb. but some folks cruising in Oct. are being told not until August???????

i agree that it has to do with ship and itinerary. when i booked my september cruise in january i was told that i wouldnt be able to book shore excursions until may. sure enough, i checked back at the beginning of may and they had just become available to book.

I was always under the impression that you could book shore excursions beginning six months before your cruise. However, I'm on the NOS 10/24/04 and my shore excursion page on RCCL's website says to check onboard. It's making me wonder if we'll be able to book in advance at all.

 

Until NOS Sailing 10/23/04

 

Several cruises, but why list them when no one cares?

[aqusis]

The only allow a specific number of seats on an excursion to be sold via website. It the message is 'check on board' then they have exhaused their allotment of web booked reservations. If it tells you to check back later, it normally means they haven't started accepting reservations yet.

This is part of the reply I received from RCCL:

-----

We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience. Kindly note that, the tours and pricing for the Caribbean are seasonal -

and operate as winter to summer. Brochures for winter 2004 - summer 2005 sailings are not available.

 

However, most guests prefer to have something rather than nothing at all to reference as a guide. The shore excursions are shown online

through the "BROWSE OPTION". The guest may review our winter 2003 - summer 2004 Caribbean information, which became effective as of October 1, 2003 and expires on September 30th, 2004. We update a few months prior and operate tours and prices effective as of October 1st. The guest will have the opportunity to pre-book tours through the online "PURCHASE OPTION" on the website with current pricing sometime around the first or

second week of August. Please try back then.

-------

Hope this helps!
