js Posted November 24, 2010 #1 Share Posted November 24, 2010 When do you book the shows and speciality restaurants for Oasis? I am not sailing until July 2012 but we want to book a few speciality restaurants and Hairspray/Comedian. We are a party of 9 people. Would it be a problem booking the restaurants for a party of 9? Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennmaybe Posted November 24, 2010 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2010 We are also booked for the Oasis next year, but from what I've been reading, we can't begin booking for those until around 90 days out.... Anyone out there been able to book sooner than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone out there been able to book sooner than that? LOL, I'm not going until 2012 BOO HOO! But knowing about 90 days out helps me. Does it matter if you are Gold, Platinum or Diamond? Or does it open up for everyone at the same time. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted November 24, 2010 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2010 We are Platinum and it was about 90 days-ish out for us as well. Have fun on Oasis. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going in Oct 2011 and it feels like an eternity away, so I can only imagine how you feel right now....at least it gives you plenty of time to plan!

janetz Posted November 24, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Just around 90 days for everyone. All the shows are worth seeing. You can book for every couple you are traveling with at the same time as long as you have their reservation number. :) Edited November 24, 2010 by janetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennbr9 Posted November 25, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Actual booking says two months out when you click on Entertainment for your booking. Our 1/29 Oasis Cruise allowed us to book the shows 3-4 weeks ago which was almost three months out, but the second week of our B2B starting 2/5 is still not open for entertainment bookings.

Langley Cruisers Posted November 25, 2010 #9 Share Posted November 25, 2010 ^ Just keep checking. You're online anyway, no biggie just to quickly log into your account and see. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetz Posted November 25, 2010 #10 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I booked our shows the second week of July for our Oct 2nd cruise. Just keep checking. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ask2112 Posted November 25, 2010 #11 Share Posted November 25, 2010 For our January cruise all reservations opened up on final payment day, which was 71 days before. I was able to make all reservations for our party of 8, just had reservations linked first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarRex Posted November 26, 2010 #13 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I've been on 15 cruises and never had to pre-book a show. Is booking shows unique to RCI or is this just for the really mega ships like the Oasis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted November 26, 2010 #14 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Is booking shows unique to RCI or is this just for the really mega ships like the Oasis? Mega ships like Oasis and Allure have taken on this new feature. You don't have to reserve, but if you do so you can bypass the standby line. You just scan your Sea Pass card at the door of the theater or venue and you're good to go. Those who don't reserve can still get in - they just have to wait a little longer and the best seats may be gone already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenieRaider Posted November 26, 2010 #15 Share Posted November 26, 2010 CarRex~ The Oasis of the Seas and the Allure of the Seas are like no other ships on the high seas. You will want to see every show, or at least make your reservation...... if you don't feel like going don't. They have a 10 minute rule..... you don't show up, they'll give your spot away. It is not like other cruises where you go to the early or late showing each night. The shows are offered at all kinds of different times... afternoon, early eve or later, BUT not every night. You don't want to miss the Aqua show, or the Ice Show or ANY show. And the Comedy Show is another one to try to see.... go late, get way to end the evening. Ha ha! Have a great cruise on the OAS!

dennbr9 Posted November 26, 2010 #16 Share Posted November 26, 2010 (edited) I was told specifically by RCI that it's 60 days out :(:( Pretty much the "Company Line" and we know that is not always the case. I booked the shows for our 1/29/11 Cruise, and I just checked when I did it. Email Confirmation from RCI is dated 10/19/10. About 102 +/- days out from the Cruise. Here we are about 72 days out from the 2/5/11 leg of our B2B, and shows not available yet. Looks like there is not a lot of consistancy so like others have said, you just have to keep checking by clicking on your booking and then selecting "Entertainment". There it will tell you when and if available yet. As far as why to book ahead, with 6000 passengers and lots of show choices, etc. you may find yourself wandering about a very large ship looking for one that is available. Unique to Oasis and Allure due to uniqueness of the ships themselves. But choice is yours, book ahead or wing it. Good Luck either way and enjoy!

mrskhodak Posted December 4, 2010 #17 Share Posted December 4, 2010 We are also booked for the Oasis next year, but from what I've been reading, we can't begin booking for those until around 90 days out.... Anyone out there been able to book sooner than that? We're on Oasis of the Seas for February 12. We were able to book our entertainment as of Nov 29th. So excited! But I'm just not sure how effective reservations and advanced bookings will be when other people will probably arrive 45 minutes prior to show time and still get seats:eek:. From what I understand. . .seating is on a first come first serve basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergetoronto Posted December 4, 2010 #18 Share Posted December 4, 2010 From my experience from Oasis : Shows in the Opal theatre usually are not full and if you want to sit in balcony or in the back no reservation is necessary..Also the skating show wasnt full either..Always seats.. If you want a front row seat you should reserve and go early..Aqua theatre was different..If you want a place to sit you must reserve..However the way its set up there are so many view points of the Aqua show if you dont mind standing. The Comedy show also was full..We saw the show the first night, and wanted to go again near the end of cruise but we couldnt get in.. IMO just reserve all the shows..It doesnt cost anything and if you dont show up its no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
