Creator's Key Takeaways

many Cruise Lines actually have to make you book ahead of time

if you're on an oasis class Cruise ship if you want to go to The Comedy Club you need to make a reservation

you can go to the standby line but then you're limited to whatever seats are available at that time

it could be really frustrating if you walk down there and everybody's walking in past you because you had no idea you had to go on the app

CRUISE TIP #25 DO YOU NEED TO BOOK ENTERTAINMENT AHEAD OF TIME. Many cruise lines have entertainment on a first come first served basis. However if you go on some of the mega cruise ships you will need to make a reservation once on the ship otherwise it may be full or you have to wait in the standby line for any remaining seats.
