Jo and Rob Posted March 13, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2011 We are considering a trip to Honfleur but it is the day after embarkation and we don't want to pre-book if the weather is going to be rainy. So my question is, can we book the trip the night we board for the next day? many thanks Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluvva Posted March 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Yes you can wait - but there may not be places left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnpugwash Posted March 14, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2011 If there are no places left, you can always take a taxi to Honfleur and then you can do what you want, rather than what the coach driver wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_uk Posted March 14, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2011 My wife booked an excursion on a P&O cruise last year just the day before (Valdemossa, Mallorca). So late booking is possible. It's all going to depend on capacity, existing bookings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berlingo Posted March 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2011 We too booked our trip to Sorrento the day before having not wanted to book in advance for similar reasons. However this was mid way into the cruise and I have a feeling that the Excursion Desk closed to next day bookings quite early. Also they did put out lists of excursions which still had places as some were fully booked. So after all that I suppose I have to say I do not know the answer to your particular problem. Sorry.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feebee_71 Posted March 15, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Very often there is someone available at the tours desk for an hour in the mornings of excursions and, if there are spaces left on any particular excursion, they can sell you tickets. If this is the case then they will advertise this in the Horizon News which will be delivered to your cabin the night before. Alternatively, look for their opening times on embarkation day, and see whether these is still availability on the excursion you are interested in and find out whether there will be someone available in the morning if you want to check availability again and make a final decision.

u2cruiser Posted March 15, 2011 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2011 On Ventura it was possible to book some excursions at least up to the day before as we used to look at the port of call for the next day on the cabin TV. It would often say that it was still possible to book. I think you are on Oceana and don't have the interactive TVs (?) but the point is they were still available to book up to the day before in some cases. My guess is they will lay on extra availability if possible and there are enough takers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longislandtea Posted March 15, 2011 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2011 We have just turned up at the coach and asked if there are any places left. If there are, they were very happy to accept our money for the trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwinds Posted March 16, 2011 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Some people cancel so you can go on a wait list if a tour is full .. they have even taken bookings on the morning if a larger coach than booked comes to the dock side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
