Any way to keep track of how full your sailing is??

[canadaman111]

Just curious if there was a website where you could see how booked your sailing was before you go?

Not that I have found. I usually try a mock booking or 2 to get an idea.

Ok thanks. I have never cruised before, but typically how full would you say the ship is? I am sure it varies by time of year. I am just curious...

No way to be sure but if you watch pricing and prices are trending upward good indication cruise is selling well.

most ships sail 99% - 100% full

Wow! I am surprised they get that close to capacity

Thats where the upgrade fairy comes in. They upgrade existing paying guests and the lower category rooms can go to people pretty darn cheap or even free.

Peak can be 106%.

 

100% is only the lower bunks filled. 106% is all bunks filled.

Checked our cruise this morning, 4/9/16 only 19 interior left and the 2 most expensive Captain Suites (@$2598 pp for a 5 day cruise) were all that was left

Have seen some pretty good pricing but never heard of them giving cruises away.

I have had a free cabin more then once. Just because you havent heard of it doesnt mean its doesnt happen. I also have family that work on board though... :D

Or, in my dad's case, they spend enough at the casino that they get cruises for only the port charges and taxes. Ex.- 7 day magic, balcony, approximately $400. And that was with insurance. Maybe not free, but pretty close.

My TA contacted me once when we were driving to Los Angeles saying that Carnival oversold the cruise and were asking us to move from 2 inside cabins to one oceanview quad. I respectfully declined. 2 adults and 2 teenagers in one cabin, no thanks. They weren't even willing to negotiate a cheaper rate. Absurd. Their mistake for overselling what they couldn't fulfill.

So not free, just prepaid. ;)

You certainly got that right! They make me crazier than I already am! We cruise, but gamble very little. We gamble at land based casinos and get comps, food, rooms, etc... but certainly don't think they are free! We more than pay for them. They, however, use a cruise ship like a casino hotel, which makes no sense to me. Only gamble, eat room service, etc... sad, I have posted about this before so won't repeat myself any further. Just letting you know I realize it is not free. ;)
