Rare twototravel Posted May 13, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 13, 2021 We are booked on the 24 July departure date on the Constitution out of Boston for the Grand New England Cruise. Looking at all the dates beginning in June and going through Sept 2021, they all have Wait Listed on them. Anyone know what this means? We were told when we booked that these cruises were happening for sure. First one scheduled is on 14 June. You can't even select any of the sailing dates to get more detail.

surmy555 Posted May 13, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Waitlisted means that category is sold out but you can place your name on the wait list in case someone cancels. Many of the cruises I've looked at had some categories wait listed with a few available to book. I think they're selling fast..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vino100 Posted May 14, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Can you sign up for tours before final payment ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twototravel Posted May 14, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I don't think they are booking to full capacity at this time. I was just really surprised to see almost every cruising date with it. I wasn't sure if they were actually already booked, or if they didn't want to take new bookings in case they got cancelled.

Now they are sending an e-mail with a link to your "cruising documents" about 4 months before the cruise. One of the items you can access is a signup list for tours. (BTW, despite the name of this thread, I think the original poster was talking about CRUISES being wait-listed, not excursions.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izena Posted May 15, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 15, 2021 No problem. During this pandemic I’ve seen many cruises wait listed as a way to hold off reservations. just to be devils advocate I suspect that the tours are not all booked. Instead I suspect ACL is still working with local venders. Locals at each stop may be reluctant to commit to opening business to cruisers. Excursions that are complimentary can be arranged when you board. They take a head count and arrange buses accordingly. For paid excursions it is recommended to sign up early.
