They looked half full

[golfb4cruzing]

I just watched Freedom and Sensation sail out. Very few people on the rail or balconies. FOS followed them out and it looked jammed. Weather was perfect. Are bookings down??

Perhaps there were many people at the sail-away parties on the Lido Decks.

If you feel a webcam shot of people standing on a balcony aboard a ship leaving a port is in any way an accurate or even semi accurate indicator of of a ship's occupancy, then by golly bookings must very well be down.

I don't think thats a very good indication of a ships passenger count.:rolleyes:

We had more people enjoying the deck party than watching the sail away on out last cruise. Plus with 1st dining at 6 I'm sure many were getting ready for that. Not an indication of passengers on board.

I agree.... I usually will go to my stateroom to rest and get ready for dinner.

based on my roll call -- the Sensation will have 7 passengers on my sailing --

If I was you I'd expect a great upgrade then

[aqua blue me]

My cruise a month ago on the sensation only had 2 other roll call people and that cruise felt pretty full to me. I've never been at the rails for sail away.

It was the live website. No still shots. Must be all FOS folks didn't have a deck party to go to.

That's more likely. I can see where looking over rails is about as exciting as it gets on a RCCL cruise. Lol :)

I already have the Owner Suite I think the next step up is the Bridge itself.

Right, I knew that. This one. http://portcanaveralwebcam.com/

 

I live in Ft Lauderdale and watch the Pt Everglades cam from time to time. It's fun. http://portevergladeswebcam.com/

 

In fact, yesterday I watched the Caribbean Princess leave and then turn around and come back in and then go out again. Apparently a female passenger suffered a stroke during sail away. Sad.

...Perhaps it was the Carnival Liberty with the Sensation....as the Carnival Freedom sailed Saturday evening from Port Everglades....about an hour late as the they had to wait for the Princess ship to return because as she was on the way out...they had a medical emergency on board and returned to the pier.

Right on! We all know how exciting those sailaway deck parties on Carnival with a bad DJ playing the Cupid Shuffle and the Electric Slide over and over can be! :D

 

Seriously, based on my last two cruises from Port Canaveral, one on Royal and one on Carnival, give me a balcony or a railing with a cold drink during sailaway ANY DAY!

I never go on the balcony or deck party because I'm either unpacking or taking a nap.

We always do sail always on our balcony. Usually they zoom in on some folks or the have various signs or flags but they were pretty empty as well. Just thought it was odd.

[ATHENA3]

Maybe the passengers were to embarrass to show their face on a Carnival ship. :D:D I also like to be on deck with a cold drink and taking pics on sail away on any cruise.:):)

On a past roll call I was on, very little information. The roll calls are migrating to facebook.

That's just wrong. Funny but wrong.:p

No worries, we both know that deep down, you want to be loyal to Royal.;)

[pauleydm]

We are always in our cabin during sail away unpacking...:)
