It varies. Usually around 90 days, however I've seen it as low as 60 and as high as 150 days before sailing.

Thanks for info...

I think they open them in blocks, Oasis opened about 65 days out for us and Allure was well over 100 days out if I remember correctly.

Will be on Harmony in February and I've booked all my shows. Did it about 110 days out.

We are on the 3/26 Oasis sailing and I booked all of our shows last weekend.

Wow - there quite a disparity! I guess we'll just have to keep checking.

 

Thanx for the responses!

Yes, I was certainly surprised when entertainment for our March cruise on Harmony opened in mid October...146 days early.

Just made my entertainment reservations for April 2 Oasis sailing. Used to be 90 days prior to sailing, this is the earliest I've been able to make them!:)

Hmmm. For what entertainment must we book reservations? I don't think I've ever done that on other cruises. Help :confused:

When the time comes, can I make reservations for everyone linked to my booking?

Yes, you just need to know their reservation number.

This question is a good reason to check out your cruise's roll call. As mentioned several times, "it varies". I believe one person on each ship is responsible for determining this and they do several cruises at a time. If they open one month of cruises at a time, which I have seen, some people's cruise opens a month ahead of the others. In the long term look at the Oasis class they opened up around 45 days out back in 2011 and 2013, but sometime around 2015 they started opening 90 to 100 days out.

 

This is one advantage to being in a roll call. You usually can't check multiple times a day, but someone in your group is usually checking and can/will report.

I see your next cruise is on the Indy. There are no entertainment options that you need to book for Indy. Booking ahead of time is limited to Oasis and Quantum class only.

Thanks so much! :D

Going on Ovation of the Seas when she comes to Australia in February. So as I understand it, you have to book the entertainment ahead of time. Is this the production shows in the theatre? Do you miss out if you don't book? Also, do you have to book things like Northstar too? Thanks so much.

You don't have to book but if you don't book you have to go in the standby line and wait until 10 minutes before showtime to be let in and you may not find great seats. You can make reservations for the production shows as well as Northstar and Ifly.
