sunscreen Posted August 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Not sure if this should go under Princess thread or not but wondering about shore excursions booked thru them for a 10 night Queensland Coast cruise. We have a large OBC and would like to use this to book shore excursions while on our Australian cruise. However I seem to recall now that you have to prepay for excursions. If this is the case, for the excursions to Australia Zoo and Great Barrier Reef, would we still have a good chance of being able to book thru the cruise ship directly on day of boarding or would these potentially be sold out? I just don't want to miss out on seeing some of these attractions but at the same time have a large OBC which I would like to put to good use. As well if I have to prepay it would be in US funds which suck right now as we are from Canada. Our on board ship account and OBC will be in AUS dollars which is a much better exchange. Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you should be able to use your OBC to prepay any excursions you want to book online. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyrailCairns Posted August 31, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 31, 2017 We definitely recommend booking in advance with the ship - it gives you peace of mind knowing your shore excursions are taken care of and pre arranged and you won't miss out!
