occupancy rate ??

[gazingm42]

Somewhere I read that Carnival is limiting the occupancy rates due to covid concerns.  My PVP also confirm this is the case, but could not give numbers.

 

As anyone heard any percent numbers of occupancy rate?  Just curious...

They did a long time ago, but has stopped since then. On my Panorama cruise in March, we were at above 100% double occupancy. The ship was packed.

Those days are over.....

I have been on seven cruises since the restart in October.  Carnival, NCL, Celebrity and Princess.  Not one of them was over 60% capacity.  Cruising on the Splendor and Spirit in May.  Both say "sold out".  I will doubt that.  I think at best both ships will be at 75% capacity.  Probably will depend on how long a ship has been back in service.  Both the Splendor and Spirit are basically starting over.  But it really doesn't matter.  I have never given capacity a though when booking a cruise.  It's all about the journey.✌️

I sailed on Carnival in October, December, and March.  October and December we were not at double occupancy but in March we where at max capacity on the Vista and had almost 5000 passengers aboard, typical spring break crowds. Based on other posts March and April have been sailing at or near max capacities (due to spring breaks) so I cannot image they would go backwards and restrict the numbers again in May.

The Ecstacy sailed on 4/11 with 1400 (70%). Walking to my room the first night after dinner, there were numerous sail and sign cards on doors  unopened. A lot of cancellations for whatever reason.

When we sailed Legend in February we were at 110%.

On Mardi Gras now sailing at 109% based on double occupancy.

Hope you have a GREAT cruise! And when does the 'live review' with all the pics and commentary commence? 👍

We have been on 7 cruises since the restart (all Carnival) and each one has had more and more passengers.  Radiance in February and Mardi Gras in April were both full.  Unfortunately back in February, the passenger count jumped up so quickly, the crew were not ready for it.

Earlier this Month on Mardi Gras, the crew still seemed a little overwhelmed.  The cruise director mentioned Carnival is having a hard time hiring enough crew.

Thanks! We don't do "live" reviews, though you may see me post stuff on other threads from time to time. We are on the Mardi Gras again next week, and after that we'll be spending another week in Orlando. I may get things started then. Just a note,  Willdra will also be on the Mardi Gras next week. Fun times!

on the Pride sailing out of Tampa April 17, there did not seem to be a capacity crowd. Capacity is 2600-ish. The last night at dinner the maitre 'd said his crew had served 1200 dinners a night in the dining room. I don't know how to factor folks who ate dinner elsewhere, but 'd guess we were around 50%.

Conquest April 11th 1900 so about 55%....was really nice no lines ...no crowding ...not sure if it was by design or just demand was low?

[pengu1n]

Carnival Glory (capacity 2900-3500) had 2600 the week of 3/27 and 2300 the week of 4/3. The March date was probably higher due to spring break - seemed like more kids.

Less than a month ago DW went on a Sun shine cruise out of Chyarleston that was at 106% with all the kids on that sailing.

The days of covid crowds are probably gone umtil the next covid wave in the fall.

We were on that cruise. CD announced 2,011 passengers onboard.

Best ever debarkation -- maybe because of that.
