FAQs

When can I make show reservations on Royal Caribbean? ›

Guests can pre-reserve shows online using My Royal Cruise prior to their sail date. The shows will be available to reserve on the first day of the month before the sailing and guests will be able to view all the shows by date and time, or select the individual show they desire.

Reservations are encouraged to reduce wait time. Make sure to sign up for My Time Dining® within the first 2 days of your cruise. The My Time Dining option allows you to plan your daily activities. Want to linger awhile at the pool and catch the day's last rays?

Late shows are scheduled for either 9:30pm or 9:45pm and can vary based on how many guests are onboard. Guests should always confirm shows and show times in the daily program. Pre-dinner shows are sometimes scheduled and are usually at 6pm. Guests should also verify this in the daily program.
