Entertainment Fully Booked on Cruise - No Show Factor and Last Minute Walk-ins on Harmony of the Seas

[flygirlmc70]

We booked a cruise on Harmony of the Seas leaving in 23 days. When trying to pre-book some shows on the Cruise Planner, we realized that all the shows are Sold Out. Is there a No Show factor and is there a possibility of Walk-ins at most shows, i.e. Musicals, Ice Skating shows, Magic Shows, etc. It's our first time cruising with Royal Caribbean. Thank you.

You could walk in and stand at the top of the theatre and watch from there if it came to it. I doubt they couild stop you.

 

Also just wondering outloud how many have booked more than once huh?

There's usually a maximum number of pre-bookings offered.  Once onboard (or nearby in the cruise terminal), sign onto the RC app and try to select shows. And/or go to the Entertainment kiosk where the rep can book shows for you. 

 

Enjoy your cruise on Harmony OTS!

On recent Oasis and Allure sails, the entertainment folks were usually at Boleros to take face to face reservations.  Also, look at the APP for any availability when you board.

yes and yes. They let people without reservations in 15 minutes before the show.

 

We didn't make it to a couple of shows we had reservations for because the MDR dinners ran late...

you cannot book more than once.

Moreover, if you booked but were a no show, it will not let you book again... If you cancelled in time - it will let you book provided there is availability.

Does anyone know when the entertainment bookings start to be available ? Is it on the mobile app? 

Thanks.

It opens sometime during the month prior to your departure.  March sailing...entertainment opens sometime in February

We're on Harmony right now. I thought we were going to have to wait and hope for no shows because I couldn't get into most of the shows ahead of time, but once onboard there were tons of tickets available for all of the shows and all of the times. It wss super easy to book then.

I think this is very flexible. I sail this sunday and was able to book exactly 60 days prior.

It should be available on both/either.

They certainly save spots to be booked onboard.
