Excursions

[5soccer9]

Does anyone know when Princess starts to let you book your excusions? Looking at Alaska for next summer. I can't remember how soon they open that up.

You can book excursions 120 days out.

You can book excursions 120 days out.

Sometimes even earlier

[Colo Cruiser]

I have seen them from 50 days to 120.

Thanks for all the replies. I thought it was more than 120 days but I guess you are right. Guess I have some waiting to do. Thanks again.

I was looking at the huge selection just this morning, but I'm not certain if you can reserve them. I'll check. We are there in May.

No...try Jan-Feb next year. At least you can browse and take note of prices.

We just booked excursions for January 2015 last week

I know all the excursions we want to do but I heard for the Alaska tour they can sell out quick so I want to be able to book it as soon as they come out and available. I know on Carnival you can book like a year out.

Just keep checking often

 

They will be available once all the contracts are in place, a date we commoners cannot predict.

[Hoosier-Cruiser]

They open as soon as the contracts are signed. As the 2014 Alaska season is still on-going and tour operator reviews are not complete for this year, the contract renewals or the task of fining a new operator probably isn't finalized yet.

 

I booked our March 2015 cruise back in July (about 270 days out) and excursions were available immediately. it all depends on the contract negotiations.

As others have said, seems to vary from sailing to sailing, depending on when the contracts are solidified. On one cruise, we even received an email from Princess saying we can start reserving, but when I went on the site, couldn't. So just have your choices ready, keep checking the site 120 days or so out. If someone on your roll call is checking them too, keep in touch with that person so you can help each other.

I have six months to go and our excursions have been listed for at least six weeks now.

[KruzeKrazy!]

All depends on when the contracts are set which will vary from area to area and year to year. So as posters have said - window shop early, make your preliminary choices of first/second/third choices by port, and keep checking...

Not all of the excursions will go up at the same time. I've been on cruises where only some of the ports are available at first, and then later others show up. I've also seen only a few excursions available, and then others are added. It all depends on what Princess can organize and when.
