[roberts2005]

Does anyone have experience with this type of sale?  Can you cancel already booked excursions and then rebook.?

 

Last, how do you know you are getting the discount?

 

Appreciate any and all comments

We have cancelled excursions and rebooked with an offer before but I can’t see any offer of a Black Friday excursions discount on our booking?

Thanks for the notification!  I went through our list of booked excursions, cancelled and then immediately rebooked three of them because of reduced pricing, and saved $91 when I was done.

Where are you seeing this?  I can not see this on the web site and when I log into the voyage planner, I can not see any excursions for the 3 upcoming reservations I have on sale?

I looked on mine and ended up booking a couple because of the discount. You will see a yellow banner across the ones that are on sale.

Hi! I just posted on the Azamara Newbie site. Yes, I saw the sale and contacted our travel agent. She maintained the same booking and cabin assignment. But…. got us an extra $500 OBC and a very substantial monetary amount off our cruise price. Gives new meaning to Thanksgiving! Good luck!

Nothing on ours either (Spice Route) but then, it seems to be excluded from every offer.

Perhaps the sale offer for excursions is coming in by email for targeted cruises?

I got an email about it 

[Host Jazzbeau]

They run sales on shore excursions from time to time.  We had two different sales leading up to the Oct. 6 Journey cruise, each time some excursions were on sale and others weren't and it was never clear why excursions were selected.

 

I got the emails announcing the sales, but they didn't specify which excursions were on sale – the only way was to go through my booking online and see which prices had changed.  I cancelled and rebooked whatever was on sale, and between the two sales we saved quite a bit of money.

Thanks for the heads up and "how to", just saved a bit on a couple of tours in the Caribbean in December! 

[Stem to Stern]

I just checked.  No sales to be found on my upcoming excursions.

Nothing booked until next July-ran through our bookings and no shore excursion discounts.

[roberts2005]

Follow up. On our January 24th  South America plenty of discounts.

 

On our April Asia, cruise, no discounts

For those of you who have received the discounted shore excursion offer, could you please share the sailing date and ship with us?

I suspect that they are trying to fill excursions that aren’t selling well.

Thanks for the info on the sale.  We didn't get the email but I found that several of the excursions we had already booked for a December cruise were discounted. 

 

BUT - I checked the "discounted" price against what we had already paid and there was only 1 out of 3 excursions where the "discounted" price was lower.  

 

So, if you've already booked excursion, I'd recommend checking your original price before rebooking.  

 

Also, the discounts were only available on our December cruise, not the one we have booked in March.

It seems like many of these people who have posted are sailing in January.  It would certainly be helpful if people would just inform us what ship and what sailing date.  Thank you.

[blag]

Be very careful. This offer may not be what it seems.

 

Four of the excursions we have booked for our cruise next month are listed as being offered at 10% or 20% discount. But in two cases the discounted price is more than we originally paid!

[Mercruiser]

Thanks for the tip. I booked a new excursion at a 20% discount.

 

I also noticed that one of my previously booked excursions (not on the Black Friday sale) went up quite a bit from what I booked.

7 sailings to 5 continents in the next year and a half and not a single discounted excursion, but the first sailing isn't until April so maybe this is a December/January mainly deal.

Nearer the time of embarkation for each cruise there are usually discounts, but note my post #19, because the 'discounts' may not be real.

Yes, I saw that.  So like many of the "sales," caveat emptor.

Yes, thank you for posting.  I checked our excursions and saved $80 by rebooking.  Much appreciated!

The discounts are real - for those who haven't booked yet or who booked recently at the high price.  You got an even better deal by booking early, but that's not something you can replicate for others.
