Funeegal Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 I am a planner. I have two cruises booked; one in June 2023 and the other in September 2023. Nothing is available to be booked on the cruise planner. Does anyone know when RCL will open up for booking drink packages, excursions, etc? I subscribe to the book early and check for price drops theory. CaitlynRC and SemperMom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittermagoo Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 I've heard 9 months, and I've heard 6 months in advance of sail date. I have a Feb 2023 cruise booked, and all I have in my cruise planner is dining packages right now.  I check it every few days just in case (also want to book early).  Funeegal, CaitlynRC and SemperMom 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally just a handful of excursions at full price. Funeegal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 It has to be less than 10 months. I sail in Jan 2023 and nothing, but PDCC stuff is available, not even dining packages and it's for Oasis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Ogre Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Heh... even the itinerary in the CP is not up to date on a Dec 2023 cruise. It is only showing 1 port for an 8 day southern caribbean cruise...lol. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtentions Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 I have a Nov of 22 and Jan 23 cruise booked neither have full planners open. The Nov has most everything except for excursions it only has Labadee excursions. They are a 9 day in Nov and 10 day in Jan. The 10 day just had one port dropped and two added due to berthing issues.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babsy47 Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 Anyone have any update on this? I also have a Wonder cruise for March 2023 and nothing is available at CocoCay (where I am most interested in reserving). Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still anywhere from 6-9months. My Jan 2023 sailings have very limited offerings, just drink packages and PDCC thrill passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Sailing on AOS out of Fort Lauderdale on June 5th. I just booked this cruise last week. There is nothing in the entertainment category available to book. It just says, "check back closer to your cruise" .... and .... "we're getting the ship ready blah, blah....". You can book dining and bev packages packages - not interested. I have a credit for a one specialty restaurant experience from my booking agent but it's a NR credit and won't show up until I'm aboard. If I book a a dining venue now, I'll pay for it up front. The credit might apply but I'm not taking the chance I'll have to visit guest relations to get that to happen. You can book excursions but we'll not be going on any of those and many of the best ones are already sold out as I'm a late booker. You can book an all fitness class pass but if you check the planner for fitness classes, they aren't published yet. Lots of hold backs on all the calendars with the explanation saying nothing is set yet. We're cross-over Diamond from Celebrity so the drink vouchers will work fine for us and I've been told that I can use the Diamond Concierge by getting her email and emailing our desires for the many shows available on this cruise that we'd like to see. I'm told she/he can help with this rather than standing in line on boarding day with 3 dozen other AOS guests scrambling to get reservations. I'm sure most of this has to do with the last minute approach to arranging shows and entertainers due to COVID - travel glitches, sick cast members, etc. I'm just going with the flow. We've been to all the ports on this itinerary many times and are unlikely to get off. My goal is to enjoy our first mega-ship cruise, well, the more appropriate line would be to see if we enjoy the mega-ship experience. As Celebrity loyalists, we like guest counts way less than 3000 and since the restart we've gotten totally spoiled with capacities on 10 sailings (except the most recent a week ago on Equinox that had 2100 of 2800 capacity) less than 1500 and one with around 800 guests. Spectacular. That's sadly ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old and Lazy Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 Have a cruise in 29 days and still no spa options in the planner. Â Going with friends who would like to book some spa activities and have not been able. Â Crazy. Â Â Baked Alaska 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCCruiser Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 We are 7 days out and no options for shows. We are on Oasis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes on closer sailings, all the excursions and such have been sold out. Especially on a larger ship like Oasis where 5000+ pax are vying for things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oasis is a “book entertainment on board” now.  I believe most ships are like this.  When you board complete the muster drill and visit to muster station to scan in and then grab a celebratory drink and sit somewhere and do your reservations.  It’s all done in the app once you connect to the free guest WiFi, that is specifically for the app. KristiZ and JeffB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 I suspect AOS is doing the same thing. Thanks for the info Pattycruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
