Shelledpea Posted February 8, 2022 #56 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I was onboard Fantasia from 14th to 21st January sailing out of Barcelona. We were in Yacht Club and when I spoke to the concierge he said there were 1400 people on board and of those 41 were in the Yacht Club. I spent most days on deck with the pool to myself and it was akin to being on a private yacht... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimletgal Posted February 13, 2022 #57 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Feb. 5th sailing was like a ghost ship. Less than 20% full. 1,500 crew and less than 1,000 passengers. 154 in YC. Was told as I disembarked yesterday that there will be 192 in YC on the 2/12 sailing. Lots of crew members finally getting to go home. They have been on board since the TA which brought the ship to the US last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just finished our online check in and it says to arrive at 2pm 😳😳 I also had a 2pm embarkation time assigned for the 2/27 Meraviglia sailing initially, but then checked the mobile app a few days later (Profile > My Cruise > scroll down to Embarkation Info) and it was moved half an hour earlier to 1:30pm. I re-sent my tickets from the website (which also initially had a 2pm time on the PDF) and they changed to 1:30 as well. Not sure how strict they're going to be - I have pretty much nothing to do before that, and would like to get lunch onboard - but I've also been stuck outside at Port Canaveral before and it was a pretty boring experience. So, yeah, this cruise might be a bit busier than earlier in January/February. Hopefully it's a reasonable number of passengers such that they staff the bars and other venues to stay open late, but not so many that it feels crowded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M2ice Posted February 23, 2022 #68 Share Posted February 23, 2022 On board Meravilgia now Reported by several sources at 700, some say as low as 630. Ship is extremely quiet. 80 in YC which is interesting as our bid to upgrade was no accepted. Which after being on board is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lodge member on Mera last month on the same sailing with us and they bid $1000 per person and did not get accepted and we had 66 in YC I think.

icetyme99 Posted February 24, 2022 #74 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Packing now for Feb 27 on the Meraviglia. Looking forward to trying a new cruise line for us. Going in with open mind and an empty ship will be great. I remember being on a Premier Cruise Line ship the week of Clintons first election back in 1992 with about 300 total out of some 2000 capacity and the service was awesome. Twice as much crew as passengers and they went out of their way just so they had something to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pales in comparison to today's ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
