Cabin Category Percentages

[Cruise-y]

Does anyone know the cabin category percentages on the refurbed ships? Percentage wise, how many Sapphire to how many Aquamarine to how many singles, etc. etc. Thanks

Here is a great article that breaks down the exact percentages for each category.

I hadn't realized Symphony had an extra category!

Are the Aquamarine Ocean Views on both ships the handicap rooms?

 

Wonder how the Sapphire Ocean View on Deck 7, Symphony, are selling?

They are listed in order of price and I’m surprised at the large percentage of Sapphire rooms. I would have assumed Aquamarine.

Yes, most of the new ones added are Sapphire.

A lot of the rooms that needed to be combined were in locations where they couldn’t do 1.5 bay rooms (where 3 rooms become 2) on Symphony without significant and time consuming (months) mechanical system reengineering…. That’s one of the biggest reasons for the number is Sapphire vs. Aquamarine conversions this go-round.  
 

Symphony isn’t a long term investment — given the options, it’s more serviceable for they to get the capacity number they need and get a more expensive inventory mix doing it, than get the exact ratio of inventory that matches demand in this situation.  They would never recoup the wasted investment in creating the Aquamarines when they could quickly create the right number of Sapphires and just sell the Aquamarine inventory as guarantees to meet the demand, and house the oversell in Sapphires.  (Same with window doubles up to window Sapphires.)

 

Symphony simply doesn’t have enough years left in her to really fine-tune the inventory mix at any outrageous investment.
