You are correct, if you want to reserve an excursion, you have to pay for it ahead of time.

So, do other cruise lines do this differently?

Yes, us too. I misunderstood what he was referring to. However, is it unusual to pay 3 months out for excursions?  We’ve only cruised with Viking, so we just thought that was the norm. Do other lines do it differently?

Not at all; we always book excursions on the day they're available so that we can get what we want. We have an upcoming river cruise in October, and have had those excursions booked for about 2 months.

The only line I know that is different appears to be the American Queen Voyages where I can book one of the premium excursions but there is no billing until onboard when it is passed to my onboard account automatically
