Cruisius Maximus Posted October 30, 2023 Author #2 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I didn't do that right. But what I wanted to know is what is the ratio and how does it compare to other cruise lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I wanted to know is what is the ratio and how does it compare to other cruise lines. Crystal has said close to 1 to 1. On some cruises it won't be quite that high, on other cruise that hight and on several cruises this year the ratio has been more than one crew member per guest.

Cruisius Maximus Posted October 30, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Ok. Thank you. I guess that's about the best they can do for now. I just thought it was odd that they would tout it without being specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't unusual for 4 cruises in a row to be 450, 525, 375, 425 (just examples) but the crew will remain more or less the same as they can't send crew home for just a few cruises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our Reykjavik/Quebec cruise in September, with only 150 of us, it was closer to 5:1crew to guest!!!🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted October 30, 2023 #7 Share Posted October 30, 2023 For the original posters benefit. On the Crystal website it says nearly one crew member per guest. As have said the precise ratio will vary per cruise. Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorex Posted October 30, 2023 #8 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Whatever the exact ratio is at any specific moment on any specific cruise, you won't be left wanting of service. And the service will be outstanding, or should we say "exceptional." 😊 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Stickman1990 Posted October 30, 2023 #9 Share Posted October 30, 2023 These crew to guests ratios are usually stated based on max guest number and normal crew numbers when sailing a full ship - surely thats a known number? Ratios based on low guest numbers for particular sailings aren’t comparable with the ratios given by other lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crickette Posted October 30, 2023 #10 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Serenity ... the capacity dropped from 1,040 to 740. With 655 crewmembers onboard, the ship has an impressive 1.13 passenger-to-crew ratio https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/just-back-from-crystal-cruises-relaunched-crystal-serenity Symphony ... Going into drydock, Crystal Symphony had space for 848 passengers—now it’s just 606. The guest-to-crew ratio is now roughly one-to-one, https://www.cntraveler.com/story/crystal-symphony-relaunch Edit to add - I don't know how accurate these numbers are. But since we know the ratio will change based on pax onboard, they are probably close. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
