Contact ship for waitlist?

[grendelsdad]

Some of the shore excursions we wanted to book are sold out. We were told to contact onboard services once we're on board and they can put us on a wait list. But in another post I saw on this forum, someone said they contacted onboard services ahead of time. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how to do it? Thanks!

Guess you could try calling the ship directly and ask to be connected to shore excursion desk (+47 2367-8858 or +47 2367 8859). Although I've never tried it, my level of confidence that you would be successful and get on an excursion waitlist before boarding the ship is pretty low.
