Bonsai3s, thanks so much for reporting numbers!  We are scheduled for the Jan 7th Navigator cruise.   (Maybe!)  Have you heard a figure for that sailing?

Per guest services, expected passengers...

* Jan. 7th...1,600

* Jan. 10th...1,1000

* Jan. 14th...2,300

 

* These numbers are as of today, 12/30...guest services stated these numbers can easily change "It's dynamic".

Does anyone know on a RC B2B sailings does the ship provide testing? Or do you have get off the ship and find your own?  

They do it on the ship on the second to last day

I asked my TA.  She said my Mariner cruise sailing on Jan 6 is currently 45%.  She also said she was "shocked" to see how low it is.

 

Given that the CDC had just issued its announcement when we spoke, I would expect a lower percentage by next Thursday.

We were on Dec 13 and 16 and had 1100 and 2200.  Even 2200 seemed empty.  We are on Feb 21 and on line it says everything except inside are sold out.   We booked it with leftover FCC's which gave us a "free" balcony.  Now we have more FCC to spend (one of our paid for cruise dropped in price) and we are trying to upgrade.  

 

BTW - our only disappointment with the Dec cruises (besides the weather) was no Hot Rock in Izumi  - they blamed covid, which I am still trying to figure out.  LOL

I know this is a little far out but can you inquire for Feb 21st.

On Navigator or all ships in general?

 

I believe in general.

60% of double occupancy or "total" capacity?

I would assume total capacity but she did not say.

[island lady]

I would love to know total county for tomorrow's Harmony and the following week...but no way to do it when not on the ship yet, as far as I know.

Is MLK Day a federal holiday? 

Yes it is. County state fed employees off work. Schools closed for the day, banks closed.

MLK was a great person he deserves more than just one day in his name.

Additional information regarding the Windjammer. (For most, this may be old news)

For the 7-night sailings, Navigator, there will be theme nights for dinner, per the Maitre D'...American, Italian, Creole, Silk (Indian), Chinese, other European dishes. 

 

* New Year's Eve... no balloon drop in the promenade. 3 simultaneous parties held in Star Lounge, Pool Deck, and Studio B (large and lively crowd, with free champagne...oh! also holiday hats, tieras, and beads/necklaces)

 

* Initial expected number of passengers for this NYE sailing was 3,200...guest services said, due to last minute cancellations, it is now approximately 1,800 passengers.

Thank you so much for all the info you have provided. Couple more questions, what are the hours for Windjammer nights can you go later to just get a dessert? Can you find out if there is a vaccinated area on Deck 5 MDR early seating like by the railing over looking the dinnig rooms below? I'm going to make a request for a table in that area.

Wow quite a drop.. I'm really hoping that the Jan 13 sailing which you gave as 2300 will drop to that level.. maybe an update before debarking? Your updates are great! Also really hoping Oceans Adventure will remain open.. fingers crossed..

bonsai3s Did you report the Jan 2 on Odyssey? If so I must have missed it.  Thanks

Windjammer...dinner 6 - 9 pm...you'll have to get your dessert before it closes 😊.

 

Yes, there are vaccinated areas on deck 5, MDR, both early and late seating. Just for reference, as you enter the mdr, table 802 is dead center, along the railing, great views of deck 4 and 3 below.

 

Note: This sailing, there are tables, with children, on deck 5, late seating.

Depending on the number of passengers, we have seen deck 5 closed.

Currently onboard Navigator and passenger count is less than 1600.....due to cancellations and no-shows.

Sorry, we are on the Navigator...no info for the Odyssey.

[Stewiesmom66]

Does anyone have insight into the projected passenger numbers for the 1/9 sailing of the Explorer of the Seas?  Assume its dropping too with the CDCs notice but honestly we prefer more empty ship and why we normally always cruise the first or second week of January after the holiday sailings.

Do you have to make reservations for the nightly shows or acts in the main theater?

It is recommended, but we simply walked in to all the shows held in the Royal Theater...plenty of vacant seats...deck 4 for unvaccinated and deck 3 for vaccinated. Exception was the ice show...reservations required.

* Last cruise, the production show, "Showgirls" was cancelled because of an injury...hopefully ok this week.

Invaccinated allowed in deck 3 show at 2pm today. Lots of little ones w/o 😷

We may be on board in a couple weeks (we have 2 lines booked, and other line just went to masking, so may jump back to RC).  Wondering if we'll be the only ones to report numbers lol.
