Reservations for the free Getaway shows?

[wodyer]

Hey,

 

I'll be heading on the Getaway in July. Looking forward to it as I've only cruised with Carnival in the past. Do I have to make reservations for the free entertainment/shows? Just wondering if they get booked up or if it is open seating.

 

Thanks!

yes, book it early because some of the shows can be sold out days in advance

[wodyer]

Can I book these free shows online or do I have to do it when I get on-board?

[shof515]

you can do it online and when you are on the ship using the touch screen tv by the elevators, your cabin tv or the box office

Definitely book ahead of time otherwise you will get left out of being able to see the shows like we did. :( They were booked days in advance and filled up quickly. I had no clue when we went it was going to be like that.

Thanks. I just made reservations to the free shows online. Do I need to make reservations for the free restaurants too?

no, you can just show up

Why are the options there for me to book both entertainment and dining but it says it is unavailable?? I would have thought that when they showed up that I would be able to book!!!

you have to wait around 75-90 days before sail day for the pre book option to appear

Because you're not within 90 days of your cruise.

How do they check for reservations at the actual shows? Is there an attendant there that swypes your card?

Yes, you present your seapass and they scan it.

Would there be any problems if I booked one of the free shows, can't make it & then want to re-book another date for the same show? Will they allow this since one reservation was booked and no-show....Never know how one feels day to day...

it will be better to visit the box office on the ship to cancel that reservation instead of being a no show and then make a new reservation
