Is it common for activity slots to clear up?

[Armaan Ahmed]

I recently booked a cruise that embarks in about a month, which was great until we realized that a lot of the activities we wanted to do, including the escape room, has already sold out. We were wondering if it was common for people to cancel their bookings while on the ship, or in the days prior to embarking.

It happens,  but I don't know that I would call it common.   I'd keep checking the app several times a day.   Also as soon as you are on the ship try to book it,  there are usually spots that are held back that can be booked on board.  Good luck!

For some activities they hold back spots so people can get them when they board. This is not for excursions or the escape room though. If you are sailing in a month that means August and that will mean a ship that is at or over capacity, so cancellations may be few and far between. Also, since/if you are checking in later, you will have less options.

Definitely. Plenty of people book stuff just to book stuff then end up not going for various reasons.

Consider yourself really fortunate if Escape room slots open up.

I'd agree that probably not stuff like escape room, but yes they will have slots on board to book for shows and dinner.
