Rare sadiwest Posted July 1, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Leaving on 9 night in about 5 weeks (less than that) and no entertainment to book yet. I swear someone once said you can book it in advance on the app earlier, but I'm not seeing that as the case. I check every day and, the truth is, we've seen the shows before. I won't consider it a tragedy if we can't book them, but it'd be nice. Aren't we past the normal window of this being open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinkm Posted July 1, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2023 The newest reporting on entertainment opening up is the beginning of the month before your cruise (Oasis and Quantum class only, I believe?). Since your cruise seems to be in August and today is July 1, I would anticipate it opening within the next few days. Check often! It will first show what seems like a glitch, saying reservations are open but not allowing any booking, and then a few hours later, the bookings will be available. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really.. only Oasis and Quantum class? Sure hope not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing that requires booking on any ship smaller that Oasis and Quantum. Bookings aren't necessary. There is plenty of room in every venue for everyone who wants to get a seat. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjtt Posted July 1, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hi sadiwest. We also are cruising next month. I have been checking a few times daily for the entertainment bookings to open. Nothing yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one does can fill up and I have seen people standing at the back or sitting on the stairs at some shows. Thankfully, they have multiple performances per week usually two on the same day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s important to you I would check every morning. You can still see virtually everything via the standby line or by making reservations once onboard (they hold a certain %). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeMates Posted July 1, 2023 #12 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Q: New to this.....can I book all 14 in my group at one time or do they have to do it themselves? What would I need besides names and booking numbers for each cabin? Appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised how quick reservations disappeared. You'll get to see everything but maybe not your preferred times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw the shows last year but am hoping at least the Aqua show is available this time. Not much I can do if we miss out but I'll do my best. Hoping the 9 night means more opportunities.

bayportkat Posted July 2, 2023 #17 Share Posted July 2, 2023 We are cruising Oasis in August. Where in the app do I find the shoes and reservation information? Have never made reservations before and would love to try this time!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything to reserve should show up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bot230 Posted July 2, 2023 #19 Share Posted July 2, 2023 If you are in sky class do you need to reserve show times in advance or is there priority seating for sky class guests? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! There is reserved seating but you still need reservations. The suite concierges can usually get you in but I find it easier to make my own & save asking them for assistance for when I truly need it.

The aqua show is the easiest one to get in even without reservation because if it comes down to it, you can always stand up top near the climbing walls and watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigi1068 Posted July 2, 2023 #24 Share Posted July 2, 2023 The inconsistency is ridiculous and Royal should work on improving this. No one should have to check daily to see if today is the day we can book entertainment. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not always the 1st of the month, just somewhere in the beginning part of the month. This is a screenshot from my roll call for that sailing showing the screen you'll get that seems like a glitch (but just check back later in the day because they should be available then): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
