I asked this question awhile back, but no one knew the answer. So, here goes: Of those who have been on a cruise this year, was your ship at capacity? If not, about what percentage? And, are the cruise lines divulging this information? We are booked on the Carnival Vista out of Galveston on October 9th. I know it really makes no difference how full the ship is, but we are just wondering. Any information would be appreciated.

Just got off the Magic. Max passenger capacity is 4700 and we had 2300-2400 passengers.

On Breeze august 30. Crew member said 1900 on the ship about half full. No kid activities at all, no lines at all, walk right in for breakfast, weird feeling being on a cruise ship with no crowds. Even getting off was weird, 20 minutes to get off. Fast.

OUTSTANDING kids!!! mix in the "new and improved" (HAH!) covid testing requirements, and I'll bet it'll be even less going forward...works for me, but how long can they keep sailing this way"

We sailed to Alaska on Carnival Miracle the week of August 24th and the ship was certainly not at full capacity, We never waited for a seat in the Lido Buffet or the theater. The only place that was crowded was the casino and if I had to guess it was because Carnival offered free and reduced cruise rates to Carnival casino players.

Just got off Breeze on August sailing. It was not full at all, someone said 1900. We could tell, no lines anywhere,we thought we were on a ghost ship. For people hating to wait, this type of cruise is great. The longest we had to wait is check in, took an hour due to health protocols. They got a facial recognition program and they take a photo off your passport, and when you get off ship you stand in front a a camera and out you go, no customs offiicals to deal with. they got crew members standing everywhere telling you to keep mask on. Buffet is self serve as well as ice cream. Looks like due to small guest count they cut back on food quality. Bar b q place closed and the main dining room had weird entrees. We ate at steak house and itialian restaurant. Did have bacon every day though. Took about 20 or so minutes to get off, Breeze got act together on that.

"GETTING" scary??? given the ignorance of tens of millions of people who will NEVER be vaccinated, it got scary when it broke out well over a year ago...add in a new variant or two, and school starting...PLUS you can add in all the public events where tens of thousands of peeps show up unmasked...the last concern of "most folks" is cruising....

Until the COVID numbers improve, I don't think we'll be seeing full ships for quite a while!

Everyone had to be vaccinated in order to go on this cruise. In Seattle They checked for your Covid card first before you could even go through security.Even though the ship was not overcrowded the casino was very crowded so my husband and myself did wear our masks in the casino. When we got off at the ports every excursion we took we had to to have a mask on.
