Jjohnb Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 As an alternative to booking through Royal, we're looking for shore excursion website recommendations. Can people suggest which websites they've had a good experience with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Viator is pretty much the only site I use, except for when I’m booking directly with specific vendors that don’t use 3rd party booking sites like Maya Chan in Costa Maya.

OCSC Mike Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 I use TripAdvisor/Viator to research excursions then usually book direct with the vendor. Jjohnb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonCruiser Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Griff and Alyssa from Youtube recommend ShoreExcursioneer.com (which I used in 2022 to book a resort day pass in Curacao) and ShoreExcursionGroup.com (who apparently also works with my TA at cruise-n-more). Shore excursioneer process was easy, the site offers a ton of information about the excursions, and I love that the site only takes a deposit and for our thing had free cancellation up to the day of. Haven't used ShoreExcursionGroup yet, but I still check it often. Matt and Jjohnb 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seconding shoreexcursioneer.com. I have had ships not dock at the port and in other instances suddenly change my itinerary before departure and I have been able to cancel or replace my purchased excursions very easily. Their customer service responds only 1-2 hours later! Also, every time I book with them I get some money back in my “digital wallet” which I can use on future excursions. This knocked my Mendenhall Glacier kayak for 2 down to $404 from $550! I have successfully used this company 3 times and successfully cancelled/been refunded 3 additional times. Easy!
