Rare cruiser2015 Posted December 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I know the window opens at the 21 day mark. My question is, can you book these reservations before completing the check-in process? I don't want to be delayed playing with that before grabbing slots.

Good question as I would be interested to also know. Sometimes it takes me forever to check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted December 2, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Yes, there is nothing saying you have to check in on day 21. When reservations open you can make them checked in or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare www3traveler Posted December 2, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 2, 2023 What ship? Some ships do not require reservations for the shows in the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each show should have 2 performances: 7:30 P.M. and 9:30 PM. You can go to the Theater Box Office (Forward Deck 7) to make reservations. This is not like your theater at home where you are assigned a row and seat number. When the theater doors open (about 30 minutes before the show), you just go in a find a seat you like. The reservations just give them an idea of how many people plan to attend each show. A lot of the time, people make reservations and then do not show up. At times, there may be a wait line for a show. As a solo passenger, I rarely make reservations for a show and can still be seated. Enjoy your cruise.

TheDawg79 Posted December 3, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Yes you can. There is nothing different than booking a dining reservation. Also, the 21 days isn’t 100%. Mine opened up at 30 days for my upcoming sailing on Bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your cruise. I knew that seating is open; not our first cruise. When you say that the reservations are just to give them an idea of the attendance, do they not check you as you line up to prove that you indeed have reserved? I would expect a line for most performances. We usually arrive somewhat early to grab a decent seat. Thanks..

Erekosse Posted December 3, 2023 #13 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Yes, the systems work in parallel. I was doing online check-in while my wife was making show reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you can also sign on board up to be waitlisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
