Entertainment Reservations

[warrenz1963]

I'm 137 days out from embarkation day! When should I start looking for the ability to reserve entertainment?

[Ampurp85]

It depends on the ship. But no more than 60 days (very generous) beforehand will shows allow for reservations, I would say in my case it has been around 1-4 days after officially checking in when it comes to Quantum and Oasis class. I believe it could be within the standard 30 days for something like Icon.

@52 days and it is not ready yet on Oasis.

[Kayleigh]

For our Oasis cruise in November, entertainment opened up about 30 days out.

It's been between the check in at 45 and 30 days out for both of my previous Oasis cruises

We used to be able to reserve entertainment @ 180 days out.

43 days till Utopia and still no advance entertainment booking options.  I’ll keep checking daily

Utopia has been notoriously late with publishing their entertainment options.  I think it was only a day or 2 before we sailed that we finally got booking options.  You must constantly check.  A true PITA

New CD starting next week.  She is on board and starting into her duties ahead of the transition but I would expect this to be high on her list of priorities.

40 days out on Oasis and entertainment is open and I am all booked now.

49 days out from Oasis Holiday and able to book shows.

It used to be much earlier, but since covid they say it opens around the 1st of the month prior to your cruise.  We have end of Dec booked and ours opened today on Nov 4, 47 days prior.

26 days out and mine just opened up today too.  This was by far the closest to sail date I've had before it was open.  Obviously they must open a batch of sailings all at once and not 1 at a time at a regular cadence.

I was finally able to book entertainment last weekend.  Woke up at 3am to feed the cats and checked boom it was there on the website not the app!!!!

I am glad you finally got booked... it is a good peace of mind to have them set before embarkation day.

Went to check for entertainment this morning and the tab has been removed from all my reservations. Anyone else not seeing?

ok that is a bit far off but there still time for them to release it.  when you go the cruise planner there is a tab at the end that says more it is there that you will find it.

It appears they made change to the website.  From what I can tell that tab will now only appear for ships and dates that have entertainment available for reservations.  All my further out sailings don't have it and all my close non-Oasis/Quantum class sailings don't have it.  I do still see it for my only Oasis class sailing within 60 days that I just reserved yesterday.

[billdauterive]

Also the Perfect Day at Coco Cay tab appears for ALL sailings now, even if the itinerary doesn't include it.
