It used to be www.celebritycruisesuk.com, or something like that. Tried it and it didn’t work. Found www.celebrity.com/europe/england and that worked. All you have to do is change the departure port from Southampton to whatever you want and you should be good to go. I didn’t take it any farther so I don’t know if the show all available cabins or not.

Good luck.

One correction, you have to leave the departure port without any particular port, but put in you destination and sail date range. Hit enter then you can put in Miami, Fort Lauderdale or whatever you want.

I don't have a number for you, but Reflection is pretty much full right now.

I'm doing a New England/Canada cruise on the Summit in the Fall, and the ship is currently completely booked. No available cabins.

 

Canada/NE cruises are always some of the most popular.  They sell out.

Eclipse on Jan 26 was almost at full capacity. (I might add, never seemed crowded!)

I was on Apex B2B February 11-25. Both sailings were sold out. The second had a zillion kids. Very, very crowded. I was watching capacity, particularly for the second cruise which had a lot of empty cabins until 3 weeks out. All of a sudden, the ship was full—really full. Makes me think there must have been some incentive offered for families with children. Also lots of gamblers.

Maybe Presidents Week Holiday the kids up north were out of school. There used to be a one day holiday but in the late 1970 s with the fuel shortages the powers that be declared that week winter break and gave the kids that week off supposedly in an effort to conserve heating fuel. In Florida it is still a 1 day school holiday.

It actually goes to when we celebrated Washington's birthday and then a week later Lincoln's birthday - before they were combined. The fuel savings came from not doing the turn the heat off/turn ir way up after 3 days off 2 weekends in a row.

We just got off a Reflection cruise which was 100% capacity! But, it never felt crowded!

I hope the improved numbers are a reflection of paid bookings vs casino free booking & charity give aways

We had dinner with a friend tonight who booked 7 free cruises this week from casino offers.  Every Roll Call we are on seems to have a lot of free casino bookings.  

Agree. Solstice was one of the ships getting a lot of freebies. Am I the only one not very happy at all about this?? Not talking about people who earn cruises from their gambling,  but those trying to be lured back for free while I'm in the next cabin,  very loyal (Zenith) and paying full price? Don't blame the passengers for accepting the offer. It just rubs me the wrong way.

 I counted 63 cabins open on our Millennium cruise next month.  All of them are Inside or Ocean View cabins.  Everything with a balcony has been booked and only a few popped open just before final payment.  Expecting a near full house.

I feel your pain. I feel like I’m in the minority paying full freight. Are children cruising free? One family had six kids.

I was there as well.  Both cruises were very crowded, with the second one having 200+ more passengers and as you say many more kids.  I found it very frustrating as we could never find seats in any of the bars with entertainment before dinner.  They were jam packed as early as 5 pm.  We were fortunately in a suite so were able to hang out in that lounge but they only had music a couple of times.  I don't like to pay that much $$ and not even be able to sit in the popular bars.  I just can't figure out how they get so crowded so early - do people just go there and drink all day?!?!  Give me an S or M class ship anytime!

We ran a slot pull before covid.  Sure wish we lived in Florida as got a 50% off offer with AI.  Probably put $1000 or less in a slot. Crazy.

With all the drink packages, I would say yes. 🙁

Now with no CC HH in the Sky Lounge (M&S class ships) and whatever lounge on the E class ships those numbers are now adding to the already crowed bars. 

 

Also agree with @C-Dragons as another reason.

Good point.  As it happens on Apex though (and I know you specifically mention M and S so just making a general comment), any bar except sometimes Craft Social was wall to wall people.  Yes, there were a handful of chairs available in Eden, in the least desirable locations.  But other than that, there is no nice big Sky Lounge or Rendezvous bar with lots of seating to help ease this problem

We'll be on the Apex in March (first time E class) and already missing the Sky Lounge and  Rendezvous Bar. Thanks for the heads up.
