Kallen Posted November 30, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2004 We are booked on the February 28th sailing of the Dawn Princess to the southern Caribbean. The cruise personalizer states that the trips will be available 120 days prior to sailing. It is now 90 days prior to departure and still no excursions available. I hear that this is the same situtation for other ships departing around the same time. Does anyone know what the story is? :confused: The least they could do is amend the note on the personalizer to state that trips will be available 60 days prior!

dosi Posted November 30, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I don't know what the story is or even if a story exists. I do know that on our cruise in October the excursions became available shortly after final payment was made. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserforlife Posted December 1, 2004 #4 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Ours were available about 2 weeks ago for our 1/28 Sun sailing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hav2cruise Posted December 1, 2004 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2004 60 Days before your cruise the excursions will be up to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Jim Posted December 2, 2004 #6 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I just checked and the excursions are not available on the personalizer for our January 30 Western Caribbean cruise on the STAR. According to my countdown clock I'm just inside the 60 day window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen2cruz Posted December 2, 2004 #7 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Based on our cruises on Princess, it is usually available about 60-70 days not 120 days. Don't worry too much. I booked our excursions for 1/23 two weeks ago and checked back on spots available to see if others had booked them. There were still plenty of spots for even the most "popular" excursions. Most cruisers are not as avid (enthusiastic, obsessive-pick your own word) as those of us on Cruise Critic-lol:D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted December 2, 2004 #8 Share Posted December 2, 2004 I have made excursions 60 days out, 90 days out, less than 60 days. Unfortuntely you just never know. Sometimes it is very frustrating but I can only tell you to just keep checking. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallen Posted December 2, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Thanks everyone! I thought I was either losing my mind or doing something wrong on the personalizer. While I'm still not sure about the first, now I'm reassured that it's not the second at least, LOL! :) Kerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dortmunder Posted December 2, 2004 #10 Share Posted December 2, 2004 If you read very carefully in the cruise personnalizer it says excursions are available up to 120 days. So sometimes it may be 120 days but most of the time it is much less. It is confusing that Princess states 60 days in other sections of their web site.

tirons999 Posted December 8, 2004 #16 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Hi There, I had the same problem when looking to book excursion for our 2/8 Dawn sailing. I called Princess and they said that as soon as you make your final payment and your final papers are submitted, the excursions will become available. I guess they want all their money before they let you plan anything!!!:rolleyes: Take care, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
