How far ahead can you book speciality restaurants?

Plus excursions?

 

The only things I can book at the moment are soda and water packages....but the last things I want to drink on holiday are water and soda!

We will be on the Oasis on 12/17/11 and our excursions, shows and drink requests are all booked! When do you sail? Oh, and specialty restaurants were available even before the show times were released.

Not until next may

Used to be that you had to wait until ~ 90 days before set sail date to book excursions, but now you can do so after make first payment...

Found this in an email from Royal Caribbean: You can purchase Shore & Land Excursions once you've reserved a cruise, received your cruise reservation number, and have made at least one payment toward your cruise.

 

Is this correct?

I booked my Feb. 2012 cruise on Adventure in June. As soon as I had my booking number, I was able to log in on the RC website and make excursion reservations. Specialty restaurant reservations aren't showing up yet, but they usually don't until about 60 days before sail date.

It just tells me this:

 

There is no Shore & Land Excursions information for this itinerary at this time.

Please visit our web site closer to your sail date......

 

There are currently no Specialty Restaurants and Dining Experiences options for your sailing.....

I have seen specialty dining open as much as 6 months or more out.....it just depends when they load them into the system....but they usually do it pretty far out lately.....I am sure they don't mind getting the funds way out in time;)

It seems to vary. Reservations have been available on my January cruise for several weeks now (including excursions). This is the first time I have seen stuff open up 5 months early
