Can't View Shore Excursions Unless you Book or Put a Hold on a Sailing

I get where you're coming from about this. I mostly wanted to find out this info to get an idea of what Royal Caribbean's beverage package pricing is before deciding on a booking, which is how I found this "hack".

 

Here's the trick to view cruise planner items (including shore excursions) without having to be booked on the cruise. This same trick works for Royal Caribbean cruises since they run off the same system.

 

It just involves a little URL parameter adjusting.

 

Here's the base URL for the beverage package page (you can navigate to any other cruise planner page from there as you normally would):

 

https://www.celebritycruises.com/account/cruise-planner/category/beverage?bookingId=0000000&shipCode={ShipCode}&sailDate={YYYYMMDD}

 

1. Simply replace the {ShipCode} portion of the URL with the ship code you're looking for. You can find the ship code by doing a search with on the main "Find A Cruise" page and filter down to the ship you're looking for. The 2 letter ship code will then be shown at the end the URL for that filtered page.

 

2. Also replace the {YYYYMMDD} with the sail date of the cruise you want to look at. 4 digit year, 2 digit month and day.

 

3. Sign out from the celebrity website before entering the url. I think it blocks you from viewing if you're logged in.

 

So, for example the url for the cruise planner for the Dec 30, 2023 Celebrity Apex sailing would be:

https://www.celebritycruises.com/account/cruise-planner/category/beverage?bookingId=0000000&shipCode=AX&sailDate=20231230

 

Hope this gets you what you need! Note they do add excursions to book closer to the sailing date.

 

OMG thank you!!!!! I've been debating between 2 cruises to book for next summer while onboard the Summit in July and seeing excursions totally helped me decide!!!!

Sweet! You can use the spreadsheet tool I have linked in my signature to make the process easier as well.

Awesome, glad you found it useful! 😀 

You kindly showed me the work around for Celebrity excursions, but I couldn't get it to work today for Eclipse on April 7, 2024. Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks for your help!

They changed the programming a bit so now you don't include the 0's for the bookingId parameter. The link for your sailing's shore excursion should be:

Thank you so much!  I just pulled up an existing booking & I see where you got the link...I should have thought about that!  Now I know to do when the link doesn't work. Thanks again!
