binbali Posted May 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2022 If we book a ship tour in Barbados to Carlisle Bay can we chose to stay on at the beach longer than the 3.5 hours allocated and find our own way back to the ship? We have a fair amount of OBC and I wated to book a few shore excursions to use it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted May 28, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2022 If Barbados allows individuals to do shore excursions on their own AND Celebrity rules allow it - yes. Certainly be sure to let Celebrity know your plans. I expect you will not really know until you speak to staff after you board as rules change.

I will book it in and can always cancel later and ask once on board. Everything is so fluid I really need a plan A,B and C for all scenarios.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted May 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 29, 2022 As others said. Please let the tour group leader know. We were on a tour in Japan and a group of 4 left the tour and grabbed a cab back to the ship but didn't tell the guide. A full bus load of us sat there for over an hour while the tour guide tried to locate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB_NJ Posted May 30, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Not exactly related to the opening question however, does Celebrity honor their statement of "Never Left Behind." I have an excursion booked on an upcoming cruise that gets in fairly close to departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the rare case that they do have to take off, you will have assistance from them as to getting back to the ship (what measure is something that I, fortunately, am not completely acquainted with). If you are not on a Celebrity sponsored excursion, they won't wait so much as a moment unless they also happen to be waiting on a Celebrity sponsored excursion.

When not possible Celebrity will handle transfers to the next port. We had them cover hotels, meals, airfare and transfers for the 2 days to get us to the next port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ-Floater Posted June 6, 2022 #11 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Yes. We stayed an extra few hours in Egypt waiting for excursions to return. There was a serious accident on the road leading to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
