Johnnyc_25 Posted July 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I have not been cruising since my Honeymoon 8 years ago, so I am sure some things have changed. This time we are bringing my 2 girls (8 and 6) as well my Mother in law and her friend are in another room on another deck Looking over some of the forums and boards lately have been great, however, a few questions I still do have (plenty of time to figure out - going on Oasis in Jan 2016): Mainly - how early or when does sign up open up online for Dining as well as on-board shows (I've read the comedy shows fill up pretty quick) - as it is still showing up unavailable when I login and check? Thanks for any assistance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 9, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Unfortunately, there is no set time that Royal releases entertainment and dinner bookings. Sometimes it's over 120 days and other times less than 90 days. All you can do is periodically check the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnyc_25 Posted July 13, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Excellent - enjoy! I will keep checking and when it does become available I will update on here - perhaps since yours is a week earlier it may become available earlier as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyc_25 Posted July 17, 2015 Author #7 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Now that i have been starting to read and look over some of the forums, a few more questions came up: 1)Stateroom 10212 (Oceanview w/ Balcony) Room Configuration - Bed by the closet and Couch by the balcony, correct?? 2) Excursions - they are available for me to book right now - if i book (and price is showing in $CAD) would my Credit Card be charged right away, or not until time of cruise/excursion?? (I am calling in later to take advantage of the 10% exchange rate for OBC and this will help determine how much to put on there) 3)Updated Beer Prices?- searched through some other forums and most recent one i could find was from a few months ago - normal (non-specialty) beers were approximately $5-$7 (including tip) Thanks in advance!!

k8ster72 Posted July 17, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I was just able to book shows for my December 5, 2015 sailing on Oasis. Keep checking! No dining reservations yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrinco Posted July 17, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We are on the same week and on deck 10 also!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Pups Posted July 17, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We are on the 10/24 sailing and my show reservations opened yesterday, obviously it can happen anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Mazer Posted July 17, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 17, 2015 wow 1/24 is already open. That's soon. Honestly, how many people are checking their 1/24 or 1/30? Last year I booked in November for a 1/24 cruise and got everything I wanted. I would not worry. If you are I say check once a week, I'm sure you will get to see what you want. Plus one of the shows is CATS and experience to be missed :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as soon as I finish making my reservations, I'll be on here to let everyone know... LOL Edited July 18, 2015 by Mr. Bungle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bungle Posted July 18, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 18, 2015 (edited) Now that i have been starting to read and look over some of the forums, a few more questions came up: 1)Stateroom 10212 (Oceanview w/ Balcony) Room Configuration - Bed by the closet and Couch by the balcony, correct?? Thanks in advance!! The bed placement is by the closet. If you go by the layout plans from another thread stating that from looking at the doors of adjoining cabins from the hall, the room on the right has the bed by the balcony. Take a look at it this way, from the hall looking at the doors, the closest adjoining set is 10202-10204. moving to the left, 206-210-214 have the bed by the balcony, 208-212-216 have the bed by the closet. So yes, you are correct... Read it first, Steve... doh! Edited July 18, 2015 by Mr. Bungle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyc_25 Posted July 18, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks Steve! Much appreciated. I look forward to your updates as to when dining/entertainment reservations will be available - i'm checking every few days as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
