swdke Posted October 26, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Are reservations being taken for shows on the Oasis? I just booked last night for a November sailing, switching from the Jewel to the Oasis. My switched reservation looks good on the App and website, but not able to pick shows. Website says to check back later or book on board. Wondering if something is not yet complete in the ship switch on my booking preventing me from booking shows, or if shows are already closed out, or maybe reservations are not being accepted due to Covid restrictions? What am I missing? Appreciate your help and information. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted October 26, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2021 You can't book your shows until you are on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted October 27, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2021 It's true for all ships. It was the same for my Oasis cruise this past September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handbellplayer Posted October 27, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 27, 2021 So if I have booked UDP, I will have to make both dining and entertainment reservations on board.... Wow- That will make for an extremely stressful first day on board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But has RCI provided a reason for the change? It would be much easier to take care of this ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsail203 Posted October 27, 2021 #12 Share Posted October 27, 2021 After we boarded Oasis, we sat down in Central Park, with a beverage, and I booked specialty restaurants at Chops Grille, while my wife booked shows on the app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how early you manage to get on the ship. I know one thing, there was no stress when I was able to do it at home. Scheduling entertainment around other things we wanted to do took a bit of thought and time. And, I don't see any good reason for the change.

First they have to read a script then check my sail date, reservation # , birth date, C&A number, mailing address and email. Then they want to discuss the welcome beverages which I have no intention of changing. I tell them what I want to change and they tell me they will check to see of it is a valid selection for my C&A category. Then the dreaded, " CAN I PUT YOU ON A BRIEF HOLD?" Sometimes that is the last I hear of the agent and have to start all over again. Of course now my account is still open and they have to do some magic to close it, open it and start over. I hopefully get it changed and then have to hear more script. Changing it on-line took 90 seconds, if that . M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blauelini Posted October 27, 2021 #21 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I heard there is a kiosk on deck 5 of Symphony OTS you can walk up to and book shows. I'm on her in November. Does anyone know exactly where this is located? I want to beeline to it as soon as a board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to have to beeline it any where when I board at the start of my vacation. I want to gave it done. As it is it takes me a bit of time to transition from the stresses of every day life.

MareT Posted October 27, 2021 #23 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Once you are in your cabin you can call and speak to someone to reserve shows if you don't use your app. We had trouble with the app when we first boarded and called instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYALBOY Posted October 27, 2021 #24 Share Posted October 27, 2021 We are on Allure in Feb 2022 and have booked first night in Chops, and rest of cruise in my time dining already. Other than that I think it’s still too far out, but so far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want this stress, don't go on a cruise. See, it took five seconds and your stress is gone forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
