Why are there so few excursions offered by NCL for our Xmas cruise?

So taking the Jade on its 10 day cruise leaving December 18th. I know its a still a fair distance away so will they be offering more excursions the closer to the sail date? Right now there are only 13 excursions offered yet we are hitting 6 ports.

This is my first time with NCL so not sure if this is the norm and they only offer very few excursions or can I expect to see more? I plan to do some private tours but on at least one of the islands I was wondering what the ship would have to offer.

Heya, I am sure they'll have more than that closer to the time! Usually have 5 or so in each port at least...

This far out, YES, it is very common. A lot more will be added.

Remember that excursions on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing day are very likely limited.

This. A lot of excursions on past cruises around christmas was slim pickings. But that's ok. Just enjoy the ship

Many ports are sort of "shut down" on Christmas day....so that might be part of the problem.

On the plus side, there are less little children asking you to buy chicle lol

I called NCL because there weren't many showing for our September cruise. The shore excursions department said they start adding them 6 months out but because that is the "winter season" they are still finalizing dates with vendors and such. She said more will be added in July-mid August.
