Does anyone know what the cancellation policy is if I booked a shore excursion online? Also, if the excursion fees are for 3 and up and the excursion is for "All Ages", does it mean kids under 3 go for free?
For most shore trips the cancellation period is free until 72 hours -3 days pre cruise, this is not for 'all' if you have booked and prepaid a deposit for a signature trip these are not refundable.
However if you haven't paid anything so far pre cruise then you can cancel up to 72 hours pre cruise without any penalty.
There are notes re kids under three on the actual shore trips, some require booking ie some boat trips, but normally they are free, but do not expect a seat. ( unless a boat etc). Some trips do not allow kids below a certain age, so again check the detail. It will quote 'ALL AGES' if kids below 3 are allowed, if there is a higher age limit it will say Ages 5 and above, 5>9 etc.
To give you an example of the exception on signature shore trips, I am booked on a
DCL private Berlin tour, its all paid up now, but my booking window doesnt open until March 20th for normal shore trips. There are more and more of these now and they tend to ask you to contact DCL by email when you want to book. They are non refundable unless the ship doesnt dock in that port.
Below 72 hours is only allowed if they can resell that trip to someone else onboard.
