Harmony dining and entertainment reservations

[Cheller1973]

We’ve booked our fifth RCI cruise for September 2019 (first on Harmony).

 

When I log into cruise planner there’s no option to book dining or entertainment which I am assuming is because I am too early. Is it 90 days before that these will be available or are they open before then? We’ve booked through a UK travel agent and final payment is due in June. Will we be unable to book anything until final payment has been made? I’m concerned that if we pay our final balance in, say, January, that the TA won’t pay RCI until June thus meaning we might miss out on reservations :confused:.

 

Also, what’s a good price for the drink package? It’s currently showing as £39.50pp per day.

 

Finally, does anyone have experience of cabin 9101? I’m worried we’ll feel he movement as we are normally mid ship but there doesn’t seem to be inside mid ship cabins and we are not in the cabin enough to justify paying extra. If this is a bad cabin would RCI change it to another inside FOC.

 

Apologies for the long post!

This varies sailing to sailing. Sometimes more than 120 days our, sometimes less than 90 days. Just keep checking.

Ability to book doesn’t relate to whether final payment has been made. It opens at the same time for everyone, the time of which as Bob mentioned can vary. For my upcoming TA on Symphony entertainment didn’t become available until about 70 days out

Thank you, that’s put my mind at ease! Looks like there’s so much we want to book - should have done a B2B :)

I am on the Harmony now and have been able to get into Solarium two nights without a reservation. This is a nice option as you can order for "free" off the menu or pay a slight upgrade charge for Filet, Lamb or lobster. Much quieter than the normal dining room. Alison from Trinidad is a fantastic waitress and Johann seems to run a tight ship in there!
