Booking shows on Royal Caribbean is actually pretty simple once you know where to look. I usually do it through the Cruise Planner before the trip, but I learned the value of planning early after a stressful flight situation last year. I had to change my flight last minute, and calling 866-227-1888 saved me when the online system kept glitching. Ever since then, I try to book anything important—flights or cruise shows—as early as possible.
Onboard, you can reserve shows through the Royal Caribbean app or by visiting the theater box office. Popular ones like the AquaTheater and ice shows fill up fast, so locking them in ahead of time is definitely worth it. It’s super quick and makes the rest of the cruise feel way more relaxed.
