What happens when a large portion of a ship is unsold

[axzel]

Where can you look up how many % of the rooms are allready sold??

Ships make zero money docked so they wouldn't cancel a cruise. My ship has been 100% full for months. In fact a nice break in high pax count would be nice for a week or two! :D

To answer your question.....in over 30 years of cruising' date=' individually, escort or hosting groups, etc., no major cruise company has cancelled because of low occupancy.

 

As for the rest.....it's true that SOME cruise lines may be having difficulty filling ships, it certainly isn't the case for others.....

 

Carnival for instance is still operating well within their average occupancy rate of 105-115% and Royal seems to be enjoying about the same.[/quote']

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to recall that Renaissance Cruise Lines had a habit of canceling cruises that were undersold. Of course they eventually went bankrupt.
