My wife and I have 1 full day before we leave for our week long
Caribbean Princess cruise. At first I thought we probably shouldn't do
any shore excursions, because with the airfare, fuel surcharge, and auto
tips, I figured we had pretty much used up our savings for this trip.
However, I went over things again, and realize we could spend another
$350 or so without any trouble.

I've heard that if you want to take a shore excursion, you should
book it from home before the cruise. I got on the Princess website he

And started looking at the various shore excursions by island. We
will be stopping at St. Thomas, Tortola, Antigua, St. Lucia, & Barbados.
We will also be spending a day after the cruise in San Juan, where we
will wander about on our own.

When I'm looking at the various shore excursions, they have lots of
details, but I don't see any prices. I also don't see any way to sign
up for them. I tried signing in with my info and booking number, but it
comes up and says something about it being less than 5 days before the
cruise, and having to print things out and bring them in order to make
sure the crew gets the information. I don't see any place to print out
shore excursion requests.

So I'm a bit confused about how we are supposed to sign up for shore
excursions without knowing the cost up front, and I'd appreciate some
suggestions from anyone who has gone on a Princess shore excursion at
any of these islands previously. Thanks!
