Query about booking excursions - what are my odds?

[1926Moon]

Hi folks -

We are going on our first Disney cruise at the end of April and I cannot wait
I have a question booking excursions. For various reasons, we are only interested in booking excursions through Disney and I have some very specific excursions in mind. As this is our first time on DCL, we are technically the last group to book excursions.
How often do excursions actually sell out? The ones are are specifically looking at are:
Cozumel - Xplor Park
Grand Cayman -Rum Point Beach Adventure
Falmouth - Chukka Horseback and Swim

So, oh wise disboard,........what are my odds of scoring all my dream excursions?

We've never had an issue with getting the excursion we want. Even on our first cruise. That said, we've never booked any of those particular excursions.

Thanks

I guess I am not sure if those are "popular" excursions.

Edited - spelling.

I wouldn't think you would have a problem booking any of these.

I agree. Although I don't have direct experience with trying to book an excursion that was full, I have surfed the shore excursions available on a cruise we're about to take from time to time and seems like most of them are available. I've noticed dolphin encounters filling up, but other than that I bet your chances are excellent!

We've never had trouble booking the excursions we wanted. We actually booked everything onboard the ship on our last cruise, and still got all our first choices. I think there's a few that have really limited numbers, like Dolphin Swims, that tend to fill up... the excursions you selected don't seem like the type that have super limited groups.

Well, I have zero interest in dolphin swims so I don't need to worry about booking those

Thanks everyone

I'd set your odds at 100%. Every Disney excursion bar a few on Castaway Cay still have openings on the full Fantasy cruise leaving Port Canaveral in 8 days...

I'll be the exception to what everyone one here has experienced. When I did my first cruise, it was a sold out Spring Break eastern Caribbean on the Fantasy. My first choice of excursion in St Thomas was a catamaran sail and I was unable to book it when it opened. I was a group of 4. I kept checking and it never opened up. I honestly don't know how many people they take on each catamaran - but I am glad I had a back up in mind. Never hurts to be over-prepared.
