Some clarity
When I have booked excursions I never get around to it early and so far I have had little trouble getting almost all excursions I wanted. When sold out then waitlist and when the demand increases I believe they add more tours. Waitlists clear every day. I seem to spend a big part of everyday forwarding waitlist clearance notifications. Space usually opens up on board as well. There is no doubt some of the excursions that have very limited capacity will sell out and those you must book the second things open as they always sell out quickly now.
I'm with you here, Ngaire. I don't think I've ever NOT gotten an excursion for which I was waitlisted before the cruise, and often wait until onboard to pick some of them for a port or two.
Just for future reference for those on BK group cruises. If you wish to be on the same bus as others, have one person collect all the tickets and take all them to the front of the theater for bus assignments. Busses are often nearly full these days, and they will not give tickets for a particular bus after the allotment has been met.
