Most if not all, were ocean view and inside. We are on the sailing before you. There are 10 cabins available to book (all insides) on our sailing. it's a shorter sailing so I'm not really surprised. The same 5-night sailing last year was one of their higher capacities last fall at 75%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done 4 cruises since the restart (two different lines) and I kept hoping to just once experience a super low passenger count but it was not meant to be. Our lowest was about 65% going through the Panama Canal. Our most recent two were at 100%. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted September 25, 2022 #29 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Some staff just make up numbers when asked. Unless the number you are hearing is coming straight from the Captain as they sometimes announce, it’s likely just a wild guess. On every cruise I’ve been on since the restart I have heard wildly different pax counts from crew. Our most recent one was anywhere from 2,200 to 2,900. Quite a difference…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know! We are on that next cruise. How's the weather? Hope you are having a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 850 was glorious since they seemed to be adequately staffed for the much bigger crowd on the preceeding 5 night. Service was truly amazing with about 1:1 crew:pax ratio. They were looking for ways to make our experience more memorable, and definitely succeeding! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendylet Posted September 25, 2022 #38 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Just off of Apex in the Med 2 days ago. We were at approx 90% capacity. Pool decks were very full. If you wanted a lounger on a sea day you needed to be up very early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best and most relaxing cruise that we have ever been blessed to go on....have a great one..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cruised aboard the Silhouette at the end of August to September 10. I asked about capacity and was told ~2,400 passengers were aboard, served by ~1,000 crew members. Can't speak to the capacity percentage or what/how many cabins remained available during our cruise, but the ship felt chock full o' peeps but never terribly crowded to me, FWIW. cjr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimchimtx Posted September 26, 2022 #45 Share Posted September 26, 2022 We are also on Equinox. We were told 1800 this week and 2700 get on tomorrow. They sound worried that they are getting 900 extra passengers tomorrow and frankly I don’t blame them. They all look exhausted and overwhelmed already. Service was great but the staffing shortages will only be greater and more apparent with another 900 people onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
