Guest 4-2-N-8 Posted September 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Curious how ship passenger counts compare today to pre-pandemic? Do Celebrity pool decks feel full or not, when at full capacity, for insance on sea days? Traveling Edge class ship (Beyond). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare eroller Posted September 24, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Last week on INFINITY we had 1281 pax and around 900 crew. So almost a thousand less than double occupancy capacity. It was great. No crowding and great service. Plenty of chairs on deck anytime of day. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Was on Summit for a TA to Iceland and then the Canada cruise on Summit. All 3 were at about 95+% I believe capacity is dependent on location, and timing. I was checking on a B2B I have booked on Solstice 12/3 and 12/11 both are currently full to almost fully booked in Retreat Class but the full ship currently at about 2/3 capacity. I would expect cruises for Thanksgiving and Xmas to be near full. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted September 24, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Not sure of numbers but Summit is very full this sailing. Crowded everywhere. This is a colder weather cruise so pool decks haven't been bad but inside had been very crowded everywhere. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerfnan23 Posted September 24, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Our cruise on an Edge class ship a couple weeks ago was about 75% full. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your trip wasn't disrupted too bad I was watching the reports this morning using a VPN so I could watch the Halifax News live. Looks like some areas got slammed really bad.

Northern Aurora Posted September 24, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I am posting from the Solstice. We are B2B and this is turnaround day. On the first leg, an 8 night Pacific Coastal, I was told by one staff person that we had 2200 on board and another staff person thought the number was 2300. On the second leg, a 7 night Mexican itinerary, I have also heard two different numbers — 1200 or 1300. We are in a Suite for both legs, and Suites are fully booked. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrcruiser Posted September 24, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 24, 2022 We feel that there had been a pent up demand for cruising following the height of the pandemic . Now ,we feel that the cruise lines will be slowing down some what because one of the stock market declines which now seem to have picked up steam & the high cost of inflated living .Un the near future we see less pax that at present until the economy recovers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare prmssk Posted September 24, 2022 #12 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Any idea whether they are holding back cabins at all or are the lower capacities people are reportedly solely based on lack of demand? I ask because my early November sailing on Connie shows all categories sold out except a handful of inside rooms. I was assuming that probably means we will have a full ship.

wrk2cruise Posted September 24, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I'm sure they are holding some cabins but I don't think that would be very many. Capacities are definitely based on the ability to sell cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted September 24, 2022 #14 Share Posted September 24, 2022 wrk2cruise_Were the b2b's tested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted September 25, 2022 #15 Share Posted September 25, 2022 No there were no B2B tests. I believe there won't be B2B testing on US based sailings under normal circumstances. I think they may do it on an as needed basis if the percent reported is above a certain percentage. They seem to be keeping the reported percentages pretty quiet now but I think I heard one announcement say just over 1% on our sailings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Followthemargarita Posted September 25, 2022 #16 Share Posted September 25, 2022 On equinox right now, I hear 1930 on board. Very busy by the pool, felt ok elsewhere on board and tendering to Cayman was really easy, no queues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_T Posted September 25, 2022 #18 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Currently on the reflection with around (70%) 2300 guests, I asked about the following cruise and was told around the same number (70%) The pool deck was definitely full on sea days (we only had 2) but you could get a bed on the upper decks if wanted throughout the day… Otherwise I’ve not found the ship overly crowded anywhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineoclock Posted September 25, 2022 #19 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I’ve done a mock booking for my upcoming Apex cruise in 3 weeks & there are still quite a few cabins to sell. I’m no good at working out percentages though. I’d imagine it may pick up if the weather is predicted to be good as it’s over half term & some schools get 2 weeks.

Gordoncruickshank Posted September 25, 2022 #20 Share Posted September 25, 2022 We are on the Silhouette on 9 October and it looks like that is sailing fairly full. 20 insides left plus 3 other cabins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeroliGirl Posted September 25, 2022 #21 Share Posted September 25, 2022 We were on the Silhouette last week and it was reported as fully booked - 2,800 passengers on board. Very busy on the outside decks on the sunny days, we often saw folks circulating round to find two free sunbeds together. Not so bad on the cooler days. OVC was very busy at lunchtimes. But one upside of a full ship is that all stations in the OVC were in use with lots of choice and plenty of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. B. Posted September 25, 2022 #22 Share Posted September 25, 2022 We are onboard Silhouette today Sept. 25th. In the Canarie Islands. ALL shore excursions Cancelled Yesterday and Today because of a Big Storm! came on a bucket list cruise and are stuck on the ship. 2700 guests about 95% full. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTN Posted September 25, 2022 #23 Share Posted September 25, 2022 They have to keep some cabins open for the travel partner of someone that gets Covid. I had Covid on the Summit 8-31 cruise, and my wife was offered a different cabin. She stayed one night and returned to our cabin. She also got Covid.

canderson Posted September 25, 2022 #24 Share Posted September 25, 2022 For the 31 October Reflection westbound TA, about 26% of cabins remain available for booking at the moment, which is all you can say when doing mock bookings on the X site. Still 10 or so SS available, which is surprising for a TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most if not all, were ocean view and inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
