I've been checking every day too, and I can only book for night 1 on our June 23rd sailing. I've just accepted the fact that I'm going to need to book onboard when we get on the ship.

Curious... Do you have a specialty dining plan purchased as well?

I am still unable to do this... ugh!

I'm having similar issues for my June 23rd Wonder cruise. 

 

Can we book MTD reservation times once we get on the ship? If I head straight to the dining room when I get on, will they have reservations open then?

 

Right now, I have one night booked at 7:30 and there are no other nights available to book. I'd prefer a 6:30 dining time every night and I was hoping I can just go to the dining room when we board to reserve it with them.

Yes, you can book onboard.

If you didn’t try on the website vs the app, I would try that. 

Isn't working there either...

Oddly the RCCL Rep couldn't do it on their side as well.

I am having similar issues for my June 30th sailing...

https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3010074-advanced-mtd-reservations-not-available-wonder/#comment-67452908

So... I still can't do this and called RCCL last night.  Apparently they are having system issues and a ticket has been logged.  Try again in 24-48 hours is their response.

Hmm...

Thank you to everyone for the replies and information.

In chatting with RCCL, it appears that the 8:30 - 11:30 excursion time is actually when the "pickups" occur at the Pier to take you to the park.

I also learned via a recent video review on YT that the food and drinks that are included are only at one specific restaurant and you can't even take the drinks out of the restaurant with you.  So... it looks like it is probably time to cancel the excursion, grab a taxi and enjoy the day in the cabana that I selected.

We are booked on the June 30th sailing on the Wonder and for some reason I can't make reservations for MTD.

Unless I am not recalling it correctly, I was able to do this in the past?

I also have the 3-night Specialty Dining plan, perhaps there is an issue with the reservation system if you have that booked as well?

Thank you very much for the feedback and thoughts.

I am curious if anyone that has booked the excursion through RCCL as to how the free drinks work?

We will be in port this coming July on the Wonder of the Seas and recently booked this excursion.

I was also contemplating booking a cabana at Cabana Beach.  Curious if the bar that is close to Cabana beach is included in the "drink pass" that is provided with RCCL excursion.

Also curious as to any other feedback on Chankanaab or Cabana Beach.

Thanks in advance.

IS your OBC greater than your gratuities?

It is, but we prepaid gratuities prior to the increase.

Thank you CC for alerting me to that.  🙂

We are headed on our honeymoon in June and will have enough OBC from our TA to cover a couple of excursions.  My challenge is that I would like to go ahead and book the excursion now, but the OBC is obviously not yet available.

I am wondering if I can book (and pay for) excursions prior to boarding and then cancel once on board and rebook using the OBC? 

If it is possible, will RCL refund my card or just put it towards OBC?

I suppose another option is to use charge casino credits to the stateroom and then use the OBC to offset?  Is that possible?

TIA

…and what about shows?

We will be embarking in a couple of weeks on the Escape and I was curious if you can book dining reservations via the NCL app once your connected to the ship WiFi?

I’ve read that you should go straight to Teppanyaki to book once on board but was curious if you could do it any other way?

If you can book via the app, curious if anyone has had luck connecting to the ship WiFi while waiting to embark in the Port of Miami.

I wasn’t able to book a couple of restaurants and would like to avoid lines if possible.

I recently booked a cruise for May 28th on the Escape and am trying to plan our dinner reservations, etc.  When cruising RCL in the past, it was fairly easy to locate images of their "Cruise Compass" to help guide some of this planning.  When searching for the "Daily" I have been less than successful and hopeful that my CC friends might be able to point me in the right direction.

Most importantly I am curious about what day / time various shows occur and also interested if possible in finding out what the various menus are in the main dinning room for each of the nights.

Thanks in advance. 

Curious if non "day pass" / guests are able to access Atlantis at this point?  It appeared to me that they are requiring you to be registered via the hotel or a day pass to be on property.

Am I mistaken?

I am curious if the cabanas for these two ports are actually sold out for our cruise or just not released for booking yet?  We are sailing on the HoS in June and I have been watching them since we booked in October / November.  Unfortunately they have been "sold out" that entire time.

Thanks in advance for any experience that you could provide.

Our family (well the kids get annoyed) likes to pre-purchase the onboard photo packages and then use the heck out of the photographers to capture new family portraits, etc.  

However, I was curious what the current experience is like given the protocols, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Oops... I tried to find one before I posted.  

It looks like the Cruise with Confidence program has been extended through September 2022?

https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-with-confidence

Assuming this is retroactive to those of us that have already booked for this summmer?

I am going to piggyback this topic with a follow-up question that I think I know the answer to...

Let's say the kids (12+) decide they want a quesadilla for a snack, they can just head over to Sabor (assuming they're open) and order one, right?  Can they get it "to go"?

And then can they come back later on and order another?  Or is it one time per day per restaurant?

...and another question.  🙂

Is there a benefit to the UDP at CocoCay?  Does it cover food at Captain Jack's?

If we buy two cabanas but have 14 in our party, can we buy two individual all day passes and they have access to the cabanas?  

I can't see why that would be an issue?

@mawvkysc  You are correct.  They will need a pass - RCCL confirmed.

We are headed to Perfect Day in June and traveling with grandparents. 

Question... Is it possible for the grandparents to access the "Thrill Park" without purchasing tickets if they aren't going to ride the slides?  All they would want to do is watch the grandkids.

Thanks... I just updated our reservation and moved around who is in what cabin.  Will readjust after we board.
