no not at all in fact they are pretty much the same as pub prices which is good for a cruise line ,little tip try the carribean sunrise cocktail VERY NICE and pick a waiter that is attentive on the first night and tip him with your first drink you wont have to go looking for him whenever you want another drink he will find you believe me $10 a night worth every bit

Have travelled OV before. if you log into action ashore using your details and booking ref, then you can book.. You will be able to see whether any are fairly full, or already sold out. When you board, you will get details of sessions they hold (which you don't have to attend) which explain all the trips for each destination - and more people tend to book after that. We tend to book early - as they have always allowed us to cancel (think you need to give at least 48 hours notice) if you change your mind, want to swap for something else, feel seasick, or have decided to just chill instead.

Yes you can.will If you go into their Website you find the excursions page and on putting your booking ref in you will be able to see a list of the ones relevant to your cruise, unless you have been sent a tours brochure, and you can either phone up and book or again go into the Website. Hope this helps, enjoy your cruise....Wendy

Thank you Wendy, for your advice, I have looked into the trips, this is our first time cruising, so we are looking forward to it. Although we are both retired, (60.s). just a little concerned if we go on a guided trip, whether the walking (with the guide)would be too quick for my husband, as he had a stroke last year?

Book early and get the trips that are your first choice lesson one. I learnt many cruises ago also always have a look at any packages such as birthday, anniversary,wine ect. You can pick up some good deals if they contain the things you want plus a few extras that work out to freebees. Wendy’s getting worse than my wife always right. Lesson two SWMBO is always right.

Thanks! Spartan. SWMBO is not always right, sometimes H.I. is right too, it is in our house anyway. Booking trips and and packages I agree need to be booked asap. Just think if we ever met up on a Cruise, life would be so Chaotic as we would not know who to obey ha ha ha. Best Wishes ......Wendy.
