Just received an email advising me to book shore excursions for our cruise last year.

[whogo]

Four months too late. Anyone else?

 

Book Shore Excursions Now

Hurry, before they sell out

 

Your upcoming cruise is almost here, and now’s the best time to reserve your shore excursions, before you board the ship. Book now and relax, knowing you’re making the most of your cruise — with no worries about excursions filling up.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Never had anything like that happen.

Are you sure it isn't for a future cruise?

[swin26]

I received one today for a cruise 18 months from now. Of course no excursions are available this early

[Purplehat46]

I also received one today for the Baltic cruise I took last year........

[whogo]

Are you sure it isn't for a future cruise?

Positive. The booking number is for last year's cruise and I have nothing else booked.

[avian777]

Four months too late. Anyone else?

No, but I am curious as to what HAL's response was when you brought this matter to the attention of HAL's Headquarters Staff.

[rlsmith]

That's pretty funny. The IT team must have reset the time on the Database, or something like that.

Received one yesterday for our Oct. 2016 Atlantic Adventurer. I have a Norway cruise coming up in June, but was sure that Malaga was not on the itinerary. When I checked the booking # I saw it was indeed for last year's cruise.

[Alberta Quilter]

I received the same email yesterday for a cruise taken last October. At first I thought it was for a future cruise that I had recently cancelled but just checked and it's for the last cruise.

that is pretty funny. LOL.

I got the same. There is nothing open on our cruise next year of course (other than OBC and the standard "stuff").

 

It would make a lot more sense if HAL would email when the shore excursions and specialty dining actually open, but I guess that is too much for them ;):evilsmile:

[SonnekeH]

I also received one today - but it is ok, I am going on a Cruise in 2 weeks time!

[whogo]

No, but I am curious as to what HAL's response was when you brought this matter to the attention of HAL's Headquarters Staff.

I am not going to bring this to HAL's attention.

I received one for the cruise I had to cancel in January. At first I thought their counters were off because it said I was cruising in 95 days. Well, I'm cruising in 105 days, but the cabanas at Half Moon Cay will be hard to get to from Norway. Then, I remembered seeing this thread.

[cruisebie]

I would take this as a sign that you need a do-over! Better get booking😆

We received a message today to book excursions for our cruise at the end of November this year.

Checked the ports of call, to see what was available, but most ports have no excursions listed.

[serendipity1499]

Received the same e-mail, but never opened it as we don't have a cruise booked..

That's funny..:D If it was for our last cruise, that's even funnier..;)

I'll go back & check it out & let you know..:eek::eek:

Oh my it's for our Oct 2016 cruise..Methinks their computer went haywire!!!:D Can you imagine people who are not on Cruise Critic getting this e-mail..HAL's phones will be ringing off the hook.. :eek:The programmer forgot it's 2017..LOL

Probably, the usual techie glitch.

[Bookited]

We also got one yesterday for our cruise last October.

[jbhcw]

got one too for our January 2017 cruise on the Koningsdam.

Yes, happened to us yesterday ... I am glad you posted about it. For a while, I thought HAL thought I was special :cool::D

I'd be interested in knowing if anyone who got one of these e-mails to sign up for shore excursions on a past cruise tried to do it---just to see what happened.

I would love to know what the computer did if anyone did try.

Just tried it and it took me to my currently booked cruise. Now, what if I didn't have one booked for the future?

[whogo]

Just tried it, Ruth. The link sent me into a loop between log in with email to log in with booking number and back to email. The old booking number did not work.

[Alberta Quilter]

I had the same experience as dfish. However, the shorex for my cruise aren't available yet.

Thanks for trying, and for reporting back. I wanted to see just how messed up this was. Or, how far someone could carry it! ;p

(seems we can quote only two people at a time; I tried for three. sorry, Alberta Quilter. :()
