89 Crew Missing On Lirica

According to published statistics there should be 760 crew on Lirica, but the recent US Government inspection at Fort Lauderdale reported only 671. That's quite a drop and may explain some of the service level complaints there have been.

Interestingly the same inspection showed a total of 1445 passengers when the listed capacity of the ship is 2200, but I guess that would be with 4 passengers in many cabins as there are only 791 cabins and no doubt some are used as single occupancy.

The cruise on that date was reported as not only sold out but also as overbooked and passengers getting bumped.

Thats a similar total passenger number as the recent 17 days crossing and the ship certainly did not seem crowded at all.
