Seems like there are very few cabins showing as still available. What do people out there know about the capacity they are booking as of now? Howard According to Guest Services, the Mardi Gras sailed at 97% capacity last week (04-11 Dec). Some of that can be attributed to the Horizon cancellations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was plenty of room around all of the pools (granted, the best seats were taken early but there was always a seat open).They only time I noticed it being crowed was when lines started forming for the comedy shows right after the prior show started (though they usually got everyone in line into the show). For some reason, the Punchline seemed to have longer lines than the Limelight Lounge. Longest line at Big Chicken was about 15 people at the beginning of the cruise and then that dwindled. JavaBlue would have a fairly long line around 0900 as everyone wanted specialty coffee but even those went quick. I was very surprised it didn't feel more crowded at 97%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Shoes2Go Posted December 12, 2021 #29 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Highest percentage yet, on Mardi Gras, Dec 11 th cruise. 5,074 passengers. Does feel crowded, to us. Masks are losing popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilliantseas Posted December 12, 2021 #30 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Carnival Legend was at 85% last week. Things are "back to normal" in terms of capacity for Carnival, at least to the extent they can sell rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatoneguyyouknow Posted December 12, 2021 #31 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I was on the Mardi Gras the 4th to 11th. I had heard 4500 guests vs full capacity of 5200. If it was actually full that's a really well designed ship. Comedy club, alchemy and fortune teller were the only places that ever felt busy. Alchemy and fortune teller weren't that bad.

Alchemy and fortune teller weren't that bad. I would agree, was on that sailing also. I never felt "crowded" and some areas felt deserted (so many food options Lido buffet area was pretty empty most times). Havana bar was extremely busy at times, and Grand Central had full crowds. Summer Landing seemed to have a good amount of folks. Have no idea what the count truly was, I've heard a couple different numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just told it was 97% last week at guest services. I was told 75% by one of the crew members, but who knows. I took a look the week before to see how many cabins were still available - I quit counting at about 160 available and also knew I couldn't see them all, was just trying to get a sense. In the end, made no difference whether I knew or not. Didn't feel cramped and that's pretty much all that affected me at the moment. Hope you enjoyed the cruise.

I only said it did not fill as full as I would have expected at 97% which leads me to believe the builders did a good job of planning things out so that it wouldn't feel full. Similar to how it feels on an Oasis class ship on Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there probably was a lot of cabins available a week prior to the cruise I believe many were taken by those who had planned to sail the Horizon and moved due the cancellation of their Horizon cruises. I know I met at least 4 couples there because of the Horizon cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buffet is now broken up into stations similar to Royals larger ships but from what I saw, each station served the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief93 Posted December 13, 2021 #41 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Off the Vista yesterday, was told there were 3,000 guests. It felt empty, I never stood in a line. Was also told the cruise that followed had over 4,000. Every mailbox had cards in them when I boarded, on my deck anyway, Just a thought, but i saw less than five children the whole cruise, and very few teens. Perhaps almost all cabins were sold, but a majority only had 2 guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still failing to see the word "empty". Maybe you'd care to point it out. I said it didn't feel crowded. Huge variation between not crowded and empty.
