How fast do excursions book up?

[MickeyMouseCD524]

Our booking window for our cruise opens next week but unfortunately I won't be able to make the final payment until that Friday (our payroll got messed up because of memorial day) how fast do the excursions sell out? We were hoping to do Astrada Gardens, the Sting Rays, and Jet Skis. Does anyone know how quickly these book up?

Thanks!

Just depends how popular it is on that cruise. If it is full when you're able to book it, keep checking. Often people will book things and then later change their minds, so you could still get it. If you're not able to book before your cruise starts, check once you get on the ship to see if there's any openings.

It's always hard to say, but we've added the Sting Rays (on CC) late in the process, or moved around the time, without much difficulty. I think you'll find plenty of availability with that one.

Thanks! We were hoping to get Palo for brunch too but I think that might be one where I just have to get to the ship and race to the reservation stand.

Our choices for 2 ports were sold out prior to our booking day. We're first time cruisers.

Keep checking the site especially the week before your cruise. People book and then cancel things all the time. Best of luck to all of you.

Thanks. This is what I am doing!

We're Silver level so hopefully won't be too bad but I appreciate the feedback! That's good to note.

The other thing to keep in mind when hunting for "sold out" tickets. The website answers the question you ask.

So if you say, "I want 4 tickets", and it only has 3 available, it will tell you that you can't have 4. It will NOT tell you that you could have had three.

So it is often helpful to ask for 1 and see if that is available, and then one more, etc. Don't worry if you can't get all you need at once, as other people said, they are likely to open up some later, and this way you'll have some of what you need and only need a few more.

We were a group of 9, and for 1 excursion we could only get 5 tickets at first, but then got 2 more later, and 2 more after that.

Best of luck!
