emerald3582 Posted June 25, 2020 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I have 2 non-cruise excursions planned for my family in Cabo and PV. I don't want to book too early in case the excursion/tour operators go out of business before the cruise. The Cabo excursion is the same offered by the cruise line but is $33 more than if I book directly online with the tour group. In PV, the cruise line does not offer the excursion and when I checked with the operator, one of the time slots was already full. Both operators have a 24-hr cancellation policy, but is it too early to book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted June 25, 2020 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2020 When are you talking about being there? If it is before January, I would certainly hold off. There is low chance you will sail any time before January 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerald3582 Posted June 25, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted June 25, 2020 We sail March 20. Obviously, I'm a type-A planner since we are still 8+ months away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BSR Posted June 25, 2020 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I would wait till you get closer to sail date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cruise lines tends to impose such a restriction on local tour companies, and the cruise companies have the power to enforce this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ine Posted June 26, 2020 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2020 If there is a 24 hr cancelation policy, you might as well book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelectSys Posted June 28, 2020 #7 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) All tourism-related businesses are at risk of bankruptcy right now. What good is a money back guarantee if the business doesn't exist? You can easily wait until much closer to your date to book the tour without any risk of being shut out. good luck!
