vinob Posted September 29, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

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.
