TishM10 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 WE are booked on our first RC cruise coming up in 11 days on Harmony of the Seas. No one told us that we should book shore excursions AND entertainment/shows ahead of time. We have cruised on other lines before where entertainment (shows) were first come first seated. I can understand with the excursions, but not the shows. Now we are getting ready to sail and when I go on line all the show times seem to be pre-booked. I'm really upset that we won't get to see any of the shows. Does anyone known if it's possible to get into the shows by just showing up?

WAAAYTOOO Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Yes, you will most likely still be able to get into the shows in the theater. They have "standby" lines where those without reservations, or those who want to see a show again, can get in after those with reservations are admitted. For shows you really want to see, I recommend getting to the theater at least 30 minutes early. I think those who use the standby line have fairly good luck with being admitted.

MikeK Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Also there is a section reserved for Grand Suites and above in the theaters . That section opens up about 10 or 15 minutes before show time for the seats that arent taken WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TishM10 Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Thank you both so much. That makes me feel so much better. We were able to book shore excursions for the Bahamas and St. Thomas, but couldn't get the one we wanted for St. Kitts. Hoping they saved a few standby slots for that one as well :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good friends of ours highly recommended Grey Tours and we booked a 6 hour excursion with them for $55 per person. They have a few different options.

TishM10 Posted May 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Thanks. But if you take a tour that is not through the ship and something goes wrong (like not getting back in time) you are kind of stuck right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're responsible for finding your way to the next per to catch up with the ship. Some tour operators guarantee that they'll do this for you.

That is true, but from what I have heard, that should not be an issue with this tour company. We did book other excursions for this trip through Royal, but felt confident enough to use Grey for St. Kitts. Obviously you need to do whatever makes you most comfortable. No need to add any stress to a vacation! Have fun no matter what you decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
