KrisD Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 In general, we can you start to book onboard activities, shows and beverage packages? Sailing in Feb 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 There is no hard and fast rule. I generally say it's 90-120 days before your sail date, but I've seen it outside that window too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 It varies greatly depending on ship and sailing. There is no set date. I have seen dining out as early as 170 days prior and entertainment 160 days prior and some as late as close to 90 days prior. You basically just have to keep checking. Surprisingly enough, my cruise in March 2019, the dining was out about a week and a half ago. Go figure. No logic to it. No predicting it.

JohnK6404 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I agree, apparently no solid guideline across the board... very unpredictable. My wife and I scheduled our dining (and linked to our friends too) already for our May 2019 Allure cruise at the beginning of this month (April)... almost 14 months out! ... I just periodically check just in case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaCruiseGirl1210 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I sail mid-November and it appears that we can purchase shore excursions now. I think we are about 200 days out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathercebs Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Our cruise is January 2019...dining and beverage packages are not available yet. I was thinking it's because we are part of a Group cruise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just too far in the future for these events to be posted yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny260 Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have a Mid January 2019 on Allure, I cannot see beverage or show choices but I can see everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're just too far away from your sail date to see those options. heathercebs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathercebs Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 It's for our friends wedding. She's getting married on the first sea day. Everything else is available in the Cruise Planner, just not beverages or dining. I'm glad we have plenty of time to space all the costs out. We've never cruised before and we've never really gone on a nice vacation just my husband and I. So we are paying for a lot of extras. I am just excited and want to schedule all the fun WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here... Allure, May 2019... we can, once again, make Dining purchases/reservations and book excursions only so far... no beverage packages, internet, entertainment, etc. (not surprised at all being over 1 year out).
