Excursion wait list.

An excursion that we are interested in on our January Hawaii cruise is sold out, but says wait list by the afternoon time. How do I access the wait list! I’ve tried ticking the circle next to the excursion time and then ticking passengers names. A price shows up but there’s no way of adding it to our basket. Am I being stupid, or is there no way of adding ourselves to a wait list?

You only add to the basket if you are purchasing/booking. Selecting waitlist simply puts your name (supposedly) on a list to be notified should an opening become available. I say "supposedly" because I have NEVER been notified...and on at least a couple I have been able to book once onboard at the excursion desk!
Thanks Rick and Jeannie,
well I’ve clicked on waitlist and our names about 50 times now, so if we do get added to a list the list will be very long 😂
When I go into the Excursions for our 1/31/23 Hawaii cruise, the excursion says "0 tickets, waitlist open". I click on the time of the excursion and check our names then a big green button pops up on the right side that says "Join Waitlist".
Sounds like it’s not working correctly. You *should* be able to join the waitlist and get notification of that. Then IF a spot becomes available, they will notify you and you’ll have a day or 2 to pay for it.
Thanks everyone. Just tried accessing it again, this time on my phone ( android) instead of IPad. Still no go. In fact the wait list has now disappeared entirely 😩 .

I’ll hazard a guess that you tried to add 2 passengers to the waitlist when there was only 1 slot available on the waitlist.
We rang Princess and polmcs you get a gold star as this was exactly the case! Thanks again everyone.

Excursions Wait List
By racj846 , February 23, 2022 in Princess Cruises
Recommended Posts
For a cruise this June an excursion we would like to take shows "Sold Out' for the morning trip and '0 Tickets, Waitlist Open' for the afternoon trip.
Despite a diligent search, I see nowhere to add our names to a waitlist. Any idea as to where this is hiding in the personalizer, or is it an onboard waitlist?

You can call Princess - there is a dedicated department for shore excursions. They can put you on the waitlist - there is no option to do so online.

In my experience, you should not count on clearing the waitlist. If you are able to phone and get put on the waitlist, check as soon as you can once onboard to make sure shoreside sent the list to the ship.
My experience is that they put all available seats on sale on the website, and they don't add more "buses" once we are onboard dealing with the onboard shorex desk. Clearing the waitlist means someone else cancelled. This is based on a conversation with the onboard shore excursions manager when we were in a similar position.
I'd advise you make other plans as well.
We see "SOLD OUT" for an excursion we were interested in for Sept., but there's no "Waitlist Open" note. We very seldom do ship excursions, so don't know if there's any likelihood of them adding more tickets on the website at some point. (By the way, we went ahead and got tickets for a different excursion, thinking we would cancel and change if more tickets are added.) Anybody had any experience with this?

We are having a problem with booking an excursion also for our June 25 cruise on the Royal. The excursion we want to book says there are two tickets left but when we go to reserve it say not available. Anyone encounter this. I’ve tried chat and also talked to a rep but have not got a straight answer. Thanks to anyone who can help
Things have apparently changed from several years ago.
I remember being able to get on a waitlist when using the Personalizer to book excursions.
Most of the time by the time we boarded we had cleared the waitlist and the tickets were waiting for us in our cabin.
Waitlist or not, as soon as you board go to the shore excursion desk and try to get the excursion you want. If the desk is not open, put the request in the drop box there using a form that should be available there.

On 1/25/2024 at 6:06 AM, NavyVeteran said: I have seen the option online a few times, but not often. When excusions open up a few months before the cruise, I got an email saying I could book excusions. When the excusion I wanted was booked, there was a link asking if I wanted to be on waitlist.
