...Costco neither sends shore excursion information to you nor do they book excursions for you.
As you can see in my signature we'll be on the November 13, 7 day Eastern cruise. Early this week I found it odd that we hadn't yet received the shore excursion brochure that DCL sends prior to the sailing date. I called Costco and was informed that only DCL can service our excursion needs. I obtained the excursion information from the DCL web site, called DCL and booked EXACTLY the excursions we desired at each of the ports. We consider ourselves lucky that none of the excursions were sold out by the time we booked them. We were even able to select our preferred excursion times.
If you booked through Costco I suggest you research the available excursions at the DCL web site and book them directly with DCL as early as you can. Excursions can be booked up to 90 days in advance. Booking in advance can eliminate dissapointment as some excursions can book early.
This post should not be taken as condemnation of Costco for not providing this service. We have three cruises booked through Costco and found them to be the least expensive. My ONLY dissatisfaction with Costco is in dealing with excursions. Now that I'm aware I can properly deal with it.
I thought sharing this information might eliminate some dissapointment...especially for first time cruisers. Please travel safe.
