Booking MTD and shows ahead of the cruise? Is it possible?

[adubgirl]

When we did a TA a few years ago, I remember that I went on the RCI website and booked the shows we wanted to attend and also the specialty dining reservations. We did this prior to getting on the ship and also were able to purchase obc at the same time? I am not sure if we did this after final payment? So the question is, is it still possible and if so, can it be done before final payment and does it depend on whether or not you book directly with RCI or used a travel agent? Thanks

What ship? Not all ships have show reservations.

 

Usually, reservations open up around 2-4 months before sailing. You can book regardless of whether you reserved the cruise directly through RCI or through a TA. Also, it can be before final payment.

Thank you :D

Only the BIG ships do the pre-booking thing. Regular ships are scheduled around the 2 traditional dining times. Pick what you want to do, and show up!
