Pebbles1967 Posted November 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Can someone please tell me how and when to book excursions? Also when we dock at a destination are we on our own or will transport be provided taking us 'to town'? Is this what excursions are for? Sorry for all the questions. Im a virgin cruiser and want to be well prepared for everything I can. Pebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pebs As a first time Disney cruiser, you will be able to book excursions and Palo dining (adults only restaurant) 75 days prior to your sailing date. I'm not sure how close "to town" they dock on the European cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunchak Posted November 16, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 16, 2009 You don't have to book any excursions if you don't want to. On my last Disney cruise [Eastern] we didn't book any excursions. Where the boat docks is usually very close to town, you can either walk in or take a taxi. On most of the Islands we stopped at we just took a $10-$20 taxi ride to the nearest beach. If you book through Disney you're also going to pay alot more than just booking directly with an independent operator. Although I guess booking through Disney would be easier.

Pebbles1967 Posted November 17, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks everyone. I'm certainly going to book Palo but the land excursions I'm not so sure. We're cruising with a 6 and 8 year old. I think we would also be better off taking a taxi to town or just hang out on a beach. This is my virign voyage so I'll be learning about everything for the next time! Just ordered Passporter's Disney Cruise... guide book. I heard it's chock full of great info and tips!

offtraveling Posted November 17, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Those going on the European cruise, where did you find the passporter's guide? I didn't think it would be out until March 2010. So excited for the European cruise June 2010. Happy Sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered my Passporter's guide today off Amazon.co.uk. It was the 2009 binder style that comes with pens, etc. It was about £22 and included postage. The new guide doesnt come out until Feb but I wanted it now. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
