Excursions on Sale

[Hornet441]

Do excursions ever go on sale on board? Say day before or last minute? Do they ever drop the price to fill up an excursion?

Have never seen them lower the prices. Previous people who booked would raise he_ _.

Here is a copy of the Fun Ashore from the Miracle last month. There were discounts offered for booking more than one excursion.

If I pre booked 3 excursions before the cruise and saw that flyer in my room, You bet my butt would be at the shore excursion desk asking for my 15% back.

I would be saving way more then 15% on booking my excursions using a private vendor.

If you really want to save $ plus have a better experience, book your own tours independently. Use the port of call threads here and Trip Advisor to find the best, most reputable excursions at each port you'll be visiting.

In most cases, Carnival's Excursion Guarantee is useless because it is nearly impossible to match two different tours.

Although I always try to book my own tours, sometimes taking a Carnival tour can't be avoided (well it could be, but...). For instance, there is a great Catamaran tour in St Kitts called the Catamaran Fan Ta Sea. Carnival has the company contracted when there is a ship in port so it's the only way to book...at a $40 premium over the tour providers advertised price on it's website - for the same tour. Oh well...
