When sailing on Royal Caribbean’s larger  ships, such as the Allure of the Seas and traveling with children, it is important to remember to plan ahead and make your dining and entertainment reservations early.  Entertainment reservations can be made 60 days prior to sail date and dining reservations can be made 120 days prior to sailing.  These reservations should be booked as soon as possible because they fill up quickly. 120 days prior to sailing is also a good time to start looking at shore excursions.
Below is a sample entertainment and dining itinerary for a Western Caribbean sailing for a family traveling with children:
Day 1: Embarkation Day - Dining @ 6:30pm Chops Grill then Ocean Aria @ 9:00pm (90 min)
Day2:Â Sea Day – Ice Games @ 5:00pm then dinner at 6:00pm
