Time frame to book an excursion

[bobpell]

When can you book a Princess excursion? 6 months, or 3 months ahead of your cruise??

We booked ours a little over 6 months before. I just looked at them again yesterday and all of the prices have gone up so I am glad we booked early. I hope this helps!

Often available straight after booking

Sometimes takes a little while to populate the list of excursions on some itineraries, but others are available well over a year out.

You can book an excursion immediately after booking. As @Mud_Shark stated, every excursion *might* not show up if the cruise is far out...but whatever is shown can be booked right then.

Thanks everyone

AS SOON AS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO!!!! You can always cancel of you find a different company to book with. Many private companies book up 6 months ahead!

I have some booked 18 months in advance. By waiting you are risking two things: price increase and selling out. If something populates later, simply cancel and rebook. There is no benefit to waiting.

When I first booked my cruise, no excursions were available. But very soon after, they were except for one port (which is still not available less than slightly less than a year out). So I booked a Jan 25 cruise in July 23 and booked Princess excursions in Sept 23 (so about 16 months out).

If you have to pay for the excursion with a CC, and you cancel, will they refund immediately on your card or do they just give OBC (which we don't need.

It won’t be immediate. It may take a week or two to show up on your statement.

If you wait to cancel until you are onboard, it will go on your shipboard account as refundable OBC.
