ScottD Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 So according to quite a few FB posts, people are suddenly able to book shows in advance of their cruise on the website planner. Seems to be only the Oasis class ships, but people cruising as far out as late December have been able to book shows. Make sure you start checking the planner- my cruise in late January on Oasis still just says they are working on it, but does have a note mentioning all of the Oasis class ships being able to do this. (Wonder isn't mentioned, but people have reported booking shows for that ship, also) CruzOnBye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampurp85 Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 So, it looks like this feature is temporary for the Holiday sailings. Dlove707 and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotPayinExtra Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Without a cruise compass from the previous week or anything as a guide. What formula do you use to pick days and times? I mean we have early 515 seating, but what helps you decide what day & night to pick something etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping that as I get closer to the next one it appears for that as well. Either way, this pleases me both to know the times when they are and to have the bookings. One less thing to have to manage on boarding day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Yes, reservations are available for our 12-18 and 12-22 sailings on OA. I've convinced Dan to try Cats onnnnneee more time. We haven't tried Cats since they changed it and shortened it. He insists that we sit on the aisle though...just in case he has to make a run for it in the middle !!

Kathleen Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 On my cruise planner it specifically lists the ships available. Hoping it is not limited to Holiday but instead just the ships and that bookings for our sailing’s entertainment opens soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octaviocloss Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Only event that didnt show up for us was ice skating (new years eve harmony) - Got to book all the remaining shows, thank you so much for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLTraveler Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Sailing on Oasis on November 20, but there's no option to book entertainment for that sailing...Maybe they're implementing it as of December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templecruiser Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I booked Grease, The fine line, Columbus the musical, and Iskate showcase for my Dec 10th Harmony cruise.

What formula do you use to pick days and times? I mean we have early 515 seating, but what helps you decide what day & night to pick something etc? You can use the app to find out when all of the shows, trivia, music are scheduled once you're on the ship. It takes a little time to get used to, but being able to add them to your calendar (where you'll get a notification an hour before they begin) can be pretty handy.

SpeedNoodles Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I'll take any offer of $10k to sit through CATS! I sat through "The Book" and survived, and that was really painful. Plus, hey, $10k (gotta pay off those Icon bookings). teddy, MaryS, WAAAYTOOO and 2 others 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TessOR Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Well, Navigator is on the list, but we are 10 days out and the shows are still not showing in the app for us.

WAAAYTOOO Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Unless things have changed, performance events (theater, etc.) have never been pre-reservable (no such word, my spellcheck tells me) on NAV. I'm surprised that it would be listed among the ships that have pre-boarding reservations. Maybe they are changing that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZBrady Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Unfortunately right now any of the fine print on the app or in the Cruise Planner is 50-50 whether it is accurate or not since we have been through so many policy changes the past few years.

MaryS Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I was just able to book Spectra's Cabaret on my 12/18/22 Anthem sailing. So glad I saw this topic.

billdauterive Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Nothing available yet for Feb Allure. I'm curious if they open it up within a certain time frame of sailing date (within 60 days?), or if this is just a trial run for specific sailings.

Kdwilly Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 We’re on the wonder of the seas November 27 and we still don’t have an option to book anything. I read somewhere that it would be available 4 days before sailing but I don’t know how true that is. I’ll check when it gets closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I was on Navigator this past June...NO shows were available to reserve--ever. I have three upcoming cruises on RCCL--Navigator in January, Symphony in April and Quantum in August...The first two are on that list...but, as of now, NONE of my cruises show any ability to reserve entertainment. All a little frustrating since, as a default, I always reserve 7:00 dining slots every night as soon as I can do so...since those 7:00 slots fill up fast...and I have those booked for every cruise already. If I can't book shows to fit in that schedule, I'll have to rearrange those dining slots...or just ignore them and show up at the MDR whenever. As to Cats, I'm sort of forcd to see that at least once coming up. We have season tickets to our local Theater that has an annual schedule of touring companies...and Cats is on the schedule this year...again. And my deal with my wife is that I attend all the plays and she attends all of my college football games. So, on my 2023 cruises, I get Hairspray on Symphony...and no Broadway shows on Navigator and Quantum, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum has 2 productions in the Theater: Sonic Odyssey and Sequins and Feathers. They also have Starwater in 270. So no Broadway shows, but great entertainment (in my opinion).
