Shore excursions

How come i cant pre reserve excursions yet? I was told that i could about 120 days before the cruise. But i am at 99 days now and still cant does anyone have an idea when i will be able to.

Have you completed your Cruise Personalizer, including registering the credit card you plan to use for your onboard account? The charges don't post until the end of the cruise, but when you pre-reserve, the charges go right to your onboard accout.

We've always been able to pre-reserve at 120 days, but who knows--maybe the policy has changed. Princess should be able to give you an answer at (800)Princess; have your booking number ready.

I am not sure, but I seem to recall hearing that you cannot register for excursions until you are completely paid up. Don't know if that is the issue or not.

[f-mattox]

That has not been our experience. We pre-reserved at 120 days, but final payment wasn't due until 75 days out; then the documents arrived at about 65 days.

My cruise was paid in full in july as well as all my information and credit card numbers so i dont know why

[f-mattox]

Well now I am truly at a loss. Only thing to do now is call Princess or your travel agent.

[Murphy123]

I just called princess and they said that the excursions are not yet available right accross the board and to keep checking daily. So ill wait

Not what I would call a satisfactory answer--but at least it is an answer.

Murphy123, how are you coming with the shore excursions? Today is exactly 120 days before our next cruise and the shore excursions became availabe for booking today.

Hi f-mattox thank you for asking but my shore excursions became available last weekend so i have booked on most the islands but left honolulu open as we might just rent a car.
