NCL Getaway current capacity

[vinob]

H Folks, does anyone know whether there is reduced passenger capacity on its late October sailing.  I know when they restarted sailing it was reduced to 60% but I can't find any current information.  Any help appreciated.

The passenger load is not because NCL is limiting passengers, it is because people have decided that it is not safe/desirable to cruise in the middle of a pandemic surge.

Things are looking up…IMHO.  Your linked article says just that.

 

Carnival said the average ship was only 59% full in August, but that was an improvement from 39% in June, and voyages generated enough revenue to cover cash costs.

Yes. Our first Royal Caribbean cruise was 22% loaded. Our second, a few weeks ago was 40% loaded. RCCL may be able to break even at a 40% load only going to the Bahamas (Nassau, Freeport, and their private island),,, but the 22% load going to Cozumel was a money loser. 

 

Our NCL cruise to Alaska was over 60% loaded. 

 

But going back to the OP's question, the light loads are not because the cruise lines are posing any restrictions,,, it is that very few people think that it is a smart idea to be cruising during pandemic delta variant spike.

I think you are right.  My December cruise has 7 of 14 aft Haven cabins still available, and my expedience is those can be difficult to get.
