It sure was nice to make shore excursion bookings online. No more waiting until 60 days before EACH port to determine final excursions; they are all available 60 days prior to sailing. No more faxing in form hoping it made it through; now you get confirmation email immediately. Only shortfall is you can only buy quantity equal to or less than cabin occupants; you can't purchase shore excursions in one cabin for an occupant of another cabin.

Any recent sailors have problems onboard after they made online bookings?

Marc: What info required to do the online bookings? I have my cabin # for MINT but that is all - Joanna

You need your booking number.

Have you set up "My Cruises" on the RSSC website?

You can now add "My Bookings." This allows filling out of Guest Information Form (and updating it) and booking shore excursions. It is a really nice feature.

I loved this new feature, as well. It made reserving very easy. We also recieved confirmation of our bookings, via email.

Do not have booking number - will talk to you know who - J

Do check your excursion tickets when you get aboard. I booked excursions online before my Navigator cruise, and the tickets were waiting in my room when I boarded. The quantity was wrong on one of them, but it was extremely easy to get it fixed. But it's important to check before the "no changes" deadline.

Joanna,

Go onto the RSSC site, click on "My Cruises." Then type in your e mail address and password for RSSC. The screen will then show that you are being redirected. Go into "My Booked Cruises." Click on the cruise that is listed and/or Request Shore Excursions.

Hope this helps.

The new system worked for us. We boarded the PG shortly after 3pm on 8/21. The tickets were not yet in our room so we went to the excursion desk; they were just printing them at that time. This was the very first week that it was possible to book this way on the PG. They were the last ship to allow this due to their less capable Internet connections.

Thanks everyone! B&K sent my booking number and I am all set - just undecided about excursions - not a bad problem to have - Joanna

After booking our excursions on line I received a follow up e-mail at my home address confirming that they had received my request and that the information would be in my cabin when we arrive on the Mariner for the "MINT"

Jim,

I booked online but received no confirmation. How long did that take?

Anthony

Anthony,

I can't answer for Jim, but we had an Email confirmation in less than an hour. (I just left that part out of my previous posting.)

Hmm

I did this about one week ago. Should I redo the online booking?


Anthony

Yes ours was about one hour too.
I would say go ahead and try it again.
You will know if it doubled up when you get to the end and it gives you your total.

I rebooked but still no reply in my email. I have filled in all available info.

What gives?

Am I booked? Should I be concerned or just forget about it until on board?

Thanks for your advice!

Anthony

Maybe if you have your cruise # and cabin # in hand you could call them on the toll free number and ask?
