Mark B Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 When looking at shore excursions on our upcoming trip, some of them are listed as a specific (10, 20, etc) percentage off. Others say "Pre cruise deal". What is the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others say "Pre cruise deal". What is the difference? Marketing. Look at the bottom line price, not the percentage discount. Some folks use spreadsheets to track the price. The general consensus is that if you want the excursion and the price seems fair, book it. You can cancel and rebook later if the price goes down (or change your mind altogether and cancel before the cruise). You will find that excursions with a meal are more than those without, and the length of the excursion can be a factor. On occasion I've saved $10-$15 per person off a $50 or $100 excursion, but that is about it. The main point is that it is more expensive to book on the ship. You can download the entire Cruise Planner excursion brochure, peruse it at your leisure, then go into Cruise Planner later when you are ready to select. Have a great cruise!

Want2cruisemore Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I’ll also say, I found the absolute best price on one of our excursions to be on a non sale day, about 9 or so months out. For a while, I was pricing excursions and the beverage packages daily. (Excursions seemed to fluctuate more in price than the beverage pkg too).

JG1209 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 Depending on when you are sailing- Black Friday had some good deals too. (I know that is forever away LOL) Like in a prior post- book it and then if you see it cheaper, cancel and rebook. You wouldnt want to miss out on an excursion because it becomes sold out...
