Must just be a holiday thing but that doesn't really makes sense as pretty much all ships are sailing at capacity. The ships are not going to be suddenly fuller in December. Since booking shows didn't use to open until 30-45 days beforehand, it might not become available until very late Nov or early Dec.

Coda_Sarah Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I wish they would make an announcement about this so people aren't speculating about whether they can pre-book entertainment on board. It just leads to frustration. NotPayinExtra, BowTieBrigade and CruiseGus 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 So I had no idea I was able to make reservations in advance. Now every single show is sold out.

E.Bacon Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 I didn’t realize I could reserve the shows for my 1/10 Allure of the Seas cruise and now everything is booked except Mama Mia. So disappointed! I will try to make reservations when we get on the ship. I’ve read most people in the “stand by” line are able to get into the show but I don’t want to have to worry about it. I’m bringing my adult children on their first cruise and was really looking forward to them seeing the Ice and Aqua show. At least, I got reservations for Mama Mia.

It was a covid casualty, that wording about being able to book entertainment is a left-over factoid. This looks like it is only a thing for the Holiday/Christmas sailings. So, the fact that isn't available on my Nov Odyssey or Jan Oasis, proves it might be just that. I was on Oasis the first 2 weeks of this month, December. You could not book entertainment in advance. I do believe it was for holiday weeks only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattycruise Posted January 1, 2023 Report Share Posted January 1, 2023 I have Anthem for Feb 19 and 26 and the only item open to book is Spectra Caberet. Been there fine that and for sure not going back. Do they do reservations for The Gift or We will rock you? I know the theater venue is way larger than the 270 where Spectra is.

Maggie M Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 I did see where it used to show that I could pre-book shows/entertainment for Navigator of the seas but now they've removed our ship as an option to pre-book. Super bummed by this. It was nice to not have to worry about rushing to the theater, knowing we had a reserved space. I guess we'll just have to be OK with the old way of doing things. I loved the pre-book feature that we used on our last sailings on Anthem & Allure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be different to our sailing since we were in Europe, but only Spectra's required a booking on ours. With regard to WWRY, there were 3 shows and the CD recommended people start lining up an hour(!!) before to ensure they weren't disappointed and also that the first and second shows were always the busiest. And people DID start lining up that far in advance. We went to a trivia in the Schooner bar at 1pm on the day of the first show and the line was huge by 1.15.

Midwest Cruiser Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Think it was little more than 55 day out and we were able to book our Aqua, Ice, and Comedy shows on Oasis OTS for our February 26th 2023 sailing. Have been on Oasis already and there is no way you could get me into the CATS show. Wife went by herself the last cruise and loves Broadway shows, she didn't make it half way through.

The only show we missed last month on OA was the Aqua Theater show so that’s the only one we have booked for 2-26. We have seen the show before (2019) but we always enjoy the AT shows so we’re looking forward to seeing it again. Hard “NO” on Cats and if we have time we may sneak into the ice show but it won’t be a disappointment if we don’t get to see it again.

Wish they would change that show. I think you might have answered my question...can everything be booked ahead of time (like pre-covid) or just some of the shows? For example, what about the headliners? We are on Oasis in March and even if I look at the next sailing in the app, the headliner isn't even listed. We are 62 days away and so check every day if booking is available. Midwest Cruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else is done as a first come first serve situation. You can also reserve the escape room. These were all available exactly 60 days prior to my cruise.

Hopefully the headliner and anything else not pre-bookable will have multiple showings fit when nothing else is booked. It was good before when you could see everything and then coordinate everything. But still, happy to be able to pre-book most things again. I'm thinking of booking the escape room for our family too as have heard it's really good on Oasis. Sounds like it may open any day for us now. Thanks.

Ampurp85 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 It looks like Oasis, Allure, Harmony and Wonder have been consistently opening bookings from around 45-60 days. While there seems to be no rhyme or reason of when Symphony opens their bookings up. My Oasis was at 44 days, and I was able to book 4 shows and the escape room. The headliner shows in the app, but it looks like it's the standard first come, first served situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They released a statement saying it was a casualty of covid and being able to book shows ahead of time wasn't coming back. Then holiday sailings started to happen at full or over capacity and the option came back with no clear rhyme or reason. Now it seems to be within a range of 45-60 days depending on the ship.
