How Far In Advance...

[shburks]

How far in advance can I go online and reserve things like ice show tickets and such? I just can't seem to find this information for Royal Caribbean!

I can't help you but I would love to know the answer to this as well.

We're a family of five currently booked on the Fantasy for this coming spring break & we're considering jumping ship to RC. We have 8 Disney Cruises under our belts. Love the Disney product but the price is getting out of control. Especially since our children are now at an age (16,15 &11) where we have to travel when school is not in session. We're thinking it's time to make the leap over to RC but knowing how everything works with DCL is holding me back. I feel like such a rookie with RC. Although we would save a great deal of money booking RC I 'm fearful that my lack of planning skills and knowledge with this product will result in a less then stellar family vacation. Any planning advice would be greatly appreciated.

We're considering a Freedom class ship if that matters.

Thanks,
Maddon

I'd like to know for sure as well. I've read somewhere that it's around the 30 day mark, but I'm not sure.

I keep checking the Cruise Planner and only the beverage and excursions allow for booking. Specialty dining and Entertainment still says "Sorry...".

Could be 90 days...could be as late as 30 days. No Rhyme or Reason. Just keep watching RCCL website.

Unless things changed the ice show tickets are given out on the ship..

Yep.

My answer was going to be "not as far in advance as we would like".

Just found some emails. I was able to reserve character dining on Freedom on 11/23 for our 1/26 cruise. I reserved the ice show 11/1.


For our 10/18 cruise on Vision, a week or so ago I was finally given the opportunity to set up times, if I wanted to, for My Time Dining, and to reserve any fine dining I might want.

That's for specific ships. Other ships you reserve it online.

Monday I was able to book My Time Dining Times for our 11-Oct cruise. It wasn't available every time I checked before then. So it seems to be random???

Was there any indication from them that it was ready or did you just luck into it..? TIA!

Nope, no notice. I even called last week and the rep told me to check at 60 days. But I knew from the boards here and Cruise Critic that people could do it before then. This is our first non-Disney cruise so I'm still trying to figure it all out. I am bummed at the lack of information. I guess I got spoiled by the Dis

I think that Royal is in the middle of switching to a system like Disney's new stuff. Which means it's not so good right now.

Its nothing new for RCCL. It's always unpredictable .
