NCL Excursions

[CrusinCyndi]

We are booked on the Gem sailing to Canada/New England in June 2018.

 

I went on NCL's web page to check out the excursions and it was grayed out and would not let me view any.

 

I called NCL and they said the excursions are not available until about 6 months before sailing. Is this true?

 

I sailed Carnival many times and was always able to view the excursions well in advance.

 

Anybody know if NCL is telling the truth or it's their web page or something ?

It is true, we are 131 days out and still only 41 are showing. More will be added. You can view general shore excursions on webpage for the ports but specific ones only list closer to sale date. Most will be up around 100 day out of sailing.

If it is a frequent itinerary, they negotiate long term contracts. If it is an itinerary that is infrequent, 6 months is not unusual. Keep watching.

Thank you all so much for the information. I thought maybe NCL was giving me a run around.

 

Looking forward to cruising on NCL. We have sailed a lot on Carnival and it's been years since we have sailed NCL.

 

Again, thank you for the information !

Some of the tours for October PC on the Sun did not show up until around the 50 day mark. Not sure what the reason is but thems the facts.

 

Hopefully the excursions you're looking for will become available within your desired time frame.

Enjoy your cruises...

You can look at cruises this year to get an idea of what is available. We are doing a similar cruise this October. We will doing our own excursions due to cost and size of groups.

If you are booking your SX at the start of the cruising season in a seasonal market i.e Alaska Canada

some or not all of the vendors maybe ready with their tour packages.

Again the same at the end of a season.

 

Re: SX packages for the SUN - the SUN is leaving the Alaska market and being deployed in the Cape

Canaveral --- Cuba market next year - things maybe unsettled for awhile getting things organized.
