handbellplayer Posted August 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I should know this, but it's been a long time since we sailed on Freedom or Voyager class - when do you make ice show reservations - pre-cruise or on board? (Mariner of the Seas. specifically). Back in the day (pre-COVID), we made reservations several different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they were giving out free tickets on Promenade. I recommend checking for schedule. On our last 5 dayer on Liberty shows were scheduled 1 show for the first evening 2 pm and 4 pm on last day. Apparently majority wanted to see it during the first night. There were so many people! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph2017China Posted August 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Well, Covid has nothing to do with it. If you check your cruise planner, you might see it on the planner. If not, than it will be announced on the ship how to do it. Check the daily schedule. But I don't think it is needed on Mariner of the seas, you just show up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmom Posted August 17, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2023 As others have said, no ice show reservations needed on that class of ship (only needed on Oasis Class). For a short while after the return from Covid, they were required so they could manage the amount of people attending since half the seats were blocked for social distancing. But they got rid of that about a year ago. If you want a good seat, just show up fairly early and enjoy some people watching while you wait for the show to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ice show is one of the most popular events and oftentimes the arena fills up.

I used to love it, but after one land performance and several at sea, I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have a wonderful cruise. Counting the days until April 7th. 234 days too many to go on Oasis again, and I won't be seeing Cats.

Mum2Mercury Posted August 19, 2023 #14 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I just showed up -- kinda late, in fact -- and I got a front-row seat. Twice on two different cruises. Of course, I went by myself (my stupid husband dislikes the ice show), and a single seat is a whole lot easier to find. I'll say this: The ice show is best enjoyed from the front row. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
