SteveM Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 How soon (how far out from your sailing date) can you start making other types of reservations such as for the specialty dining restaurants and entertainment venues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Depends, no real standard across the fleet SteveM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkaczano Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 I’ve been able to book dining, internet, etc for May 2022 but not for January 2023. No entertainment venues showing up yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess S. Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 My cruise is scheduled for July 2022. I can purchase dining, beverage, internet and Cococay items but nothing else is available. I called Royal Caribbean and they said that shore excursions as well entertainment, spa, etc. on the ship will start to be available for purchase 9 months before your cruise.

Jkaczano Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Ironically, I can purchase shore excursions for my Southern Caribbean trip in January 2023. No consistency at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnoble1967 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 You can buy dining packages and excursions way in advance of your cruise but you cannot book dining and entertainment reservations until your check in is available online. They will send you an email when check in is available 90 days before your cruise,but do to covid that has not been consistent. So I would recommend checking your email often after 90 days have passed. Hope this information helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 During the restart they are making you book specialty restaurants and entertainment, once you board the ship. In the past you would be able to book entertainment on the oasis and quantum class ships 30 days before departure. Specialty dining was around the same time. If you are sailing this year then you should expect to book once you come aboard. SteveM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check in September, my cruise is Oct 16th, 2021. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 @SteveM Depending on your boarding time and ship, I would go straight to wherever I wanted to dine at the most and make reservations. Since you are sailing soon, with reduced capacity you should be fine when it comes to getting decent seats and times. I sail in Oct, I am staying in a suite and didn't originally plan to use the concierge but definitely will now so I can get the best dining times and seats.
