Rare horseymike Posted July 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Has anyone ever inquired with HAL about exchanging included shore excursion credits for an OBC ? We have a future cruise booked that includes shore excursion credits but the OBC would work much better for us . Thanks in advance for your replies.

FlorenceItaly Posted July 28, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2023 They do not allow this. Your choice is to book a shore excursion or lose it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted July 28, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I was actually talking to a friend the other day who did succeed at this. she went to the Shore Excursion desk and it was done for them. I don’t know if she lucked out but it did happen. She did it on board. If you try it, don’t go to Guest Services - you need to go to the specific spot where it is assigned (shore excursions). But, generally speaking, it is a use it or lose it proposition and you definitely can’t do it before you sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOPMan Posted July 28, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I had quite the discussion about this. My issue was the only “excursions” available on a cruise last December to a wheelchair user (me) were accessible villas at Margaritaville at Turks and Caicos, the “train” at T&C, and a villa on Half Moon Cay (which was much more than the credit. I’ve been on the train tour 4 times. No dice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julia Posted July 28, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I have attempted this on several ships (due to cancelations, missed ports, weather issues, etc) with ZERO success. It's always a "no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a no go for me at the Shore Excursion desk on the Zuiderdam in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
