We've never done a European cruise before. Looking forward to it, but surprised that Disney removed the *GT option right around the same time that many of the excursions sold out. I feel fortunate that we found the VGT rate when still available. (we wouldn't have booked if we had to pay the 4-5K more than it is now.) We're silver so we booked excursions at midnight at 90 days. We got all of our first choices that were really important to us and our second choice in 2 cities.
All of the excursions in France and many of the others are completely sold out now. Since it looks like the ship has at least 300 cabins still available, do you think they will add any excursions? With our very limited time in France (on a Sunday no less, with few businesses and no car rental agencies, open) I personally wouldn't do a self or outside tour there. I'd be too worried about missing the ship. We got an excursion in Cherbourg, so I'm set, but I'm wondering how Disney is going to sell many more cabins with almost no excursions available.
Just looking for prior experience with this sort of situation. Is it worth checking to see if more excursions get added. If ones we like better do open up, we'd just reserve the new one and cancel the current one, so it would still leave open spots for new people.
