Can you cancel your excursion and re-book....?

[JayCee32]

I'm undecided with my family and I excursions and wanted to know
if I booked an excursion can I cancel it and rebook another one on
the cruise?

Also if I decide not to do any excursions is there a full refund?

Thanks

my understanding is if you book an excursion before sailing you have until (I think) 2 days prior to the cruise to cancel. After that you are charged for the excursion wether or not you go on it. If you book on the ship I think they charge your stateroom right then, and you don't get a refund if you don't go. However if for some reason the cruise ship doesn't make the port or they cancel the excursion, I'm pretty sure you get a refund in that case.

On our first cruise there wasn't anything we felt was a must do. So we waited until we were on board and decided what we wanted to do to book. I felt if we didn't get anything then we would be fine.

For our next cruise there are a couple of things we absolutely want to do so we will book them ahead of time. There are also a few we are thinking of doing. I may go ahead and book those and decide wether to keep it or cancel it prior to the cruise.

yes, you can book early and then cancel prior to the cruise then choose something else while on the cruise. Make sure it isn't one of the more popular ones though, as they fill up quickly. Book now and you will have all that time to make your argument.

We were booked for a 'popular' excursion on the Eastern cruise last September in St. Thomas, so since they had a waiting list interested in it, they allowed us to cancel it the day before (no charge). I don't believe we would have been allowed to do this had there not been people wanting that excursion already.
