Not sure if there is a scale up of passenger occupancy under those guidelines but going from around 300 passengers on the simulation cruise to close to 2,000( heard 80% capacity from some staff on board)  on the first revenue cruise seems like a large jump. 

Unlikely they will jump to that kind of occupancy level that quickly mid term.

I am only repeating what several crew members told me (just got off of the ship a few hours ago). I do find this improbable but this and the next cruise are holiday sailings and perhaps they are trying to maximize revenue

All of the ships are likely to have fairly high capacity levels for the holiday sailings but in January they’ll probably drop back down to 70% or less.

Works for me! Let it go down alot lower by March for my cruise on Enchantment (IF I even decide to go).

What is Enchantment doing from today through her first "real" cruise on December 23?

Most ships seem to hang around port when first starting up.

That makes sense.  They can fine-tune what they learned from the test cruise.

Here's Enchantment in Port Everglades on December 3 (we were departing on the Celebrity Silhouette):

I was told 325 accepted however it seems to be a little under 300 due to no shows. 

235 was final total

According to a Royal executive who was on board I talked to. There are expecting 1600 for the revenue cruise

I certainly felt that way throughout -- especially after 10 PM.

My husband and I are on the Dec. 23 cruise.  I talked to you on the meet and mingle thread for Dec.23.  

So it may be 1600 people for the Dec. 23 cruise?  Someone on the thread was from Canada and they have to cancel because Canada says no unnecessary travel so there may be less people.  Some people are upset because RCCL sent us an email that said mask must be worn indoors unless you are eating or drinking.  So I guess we will see on Thursday how many people will be on the cruise.  We have a junior suite because we rolled over several cruises and decided to upgrade ourselves (we usually get a balcony).

Any follow-up on this?
