Pull up your reservation on RC website and go into the entertainment. You can pre-book all your shows working around your dining.

Enjoy your cruise.

The only ships with advance reservations for entertainment are Oasis, Allure, Freedom, and Liberty.

Sailed FOS last week. Reserved for all shows prior to sailing, that was a waste of time.

The only reservation we needed was for the ice show, they have 2 lines one for reservations and one without. They scanned our sea pass cards as we entered the ice rink (Studio B) and then if there were any seats left they allowed the others without reservations to go in.

As far as all the other shows are concerned it was first come first served, there was no one checking sea pass cards, so save yourself some time just reserve the ice show and go early to the other shows for good seats.

Sounds like there are some inconsistencies in terms of how/when/if this is enforced. Someone on my roll call told us that on their last FOS cruise, those who did not pre-book the shows were not admitted to the theater until 10 minutes prior to the start of the show. We reserved all shows based on that comment. Guess we'll see how its working when we sail in April.

Interesting..... We reserved the theatre shows as well as the ice show for or last Freedom cruise. There was a person checking reservations only for the ice show. For the time it takes to reserve the theatre show for the times we want, we will continue doing it.

Voyager does not currently have the option to pre-book the shows.

We are also sailing on March 9th, onboard The Oasis. We have booked all our entertainment predominantly so that we don't miss anything that we actually want to see. Also, knowing what time you are seeing the shows, helps you plan your dining times.
