Verfai Posted January 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Time for a fun thread :D! Probably been posted before, but I did a quick calculation for another thread over onboard security, I was so amazed by the figures I just had to share it :). I got all the info from the RCI site and some from a wiki At any given time over the entire fleet (max capacity): 2 Oasis class ships, crew compliment of 2384 + 6300 passengers Total/ship 8684, class total 17368 3 Freedom class ships, crew compliment of 1360 + 4370 passengers Total/ship 5730, class total 17190 5 Navigator class ships, crew compliment of 1213 + 3114 passengers Total/ship 4324, class total 21620 4 Radiance class ships, crew compliment of 850 + 2502 passengers total/ship 3352, class total 13408 6 Vision class ships, crew compliment of 765 + 2435 passengers Total/ship 3200, class total 19200 2 Sovereign class ships, crew compliment of 833 + 2744 passengers Total/ship 3577, class total 7154 Which brings us to a grand total over the entire Royal Caribbean fleet of 95940....That’s almost 100 000 people on the move at any given time over the 7 seas...Incredible isn’t it? And that’s just one cruise line...maybe interesting to add up all liners :D Have a great weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a close one doh, as one of the sovereign ships will leave the fleet. Really gives another dimension to floating community :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted January 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2012 We think about this when we watch the food get loaded onto a ship. All of the ships with all those people at the same time all over the world. That's a whole lot of food. Sometimes it seems sad - it just does. I guess we should be glad there are that many of of that can afford to do this. And we're sailing one of the cheaper lines. Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina As long as you and everybody around you is self-aware, that they don’t waste food, energy, recourses and so on….You should not feel guilty! If everybody would be just as self-aware the world would be a better place imo. "We are the world’s second largest cruise company operating 40 ships in the cruise vacation industry with an aggregate of approximately 92,300 berths as of December 31, 2010." 40!? I guess that’s with all the sister company’s...Anybody want to do a total people count there??? :D :D :D lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I realize that if we all quit cruising today, there would be a whole lot of people without jobs, here and around the world. Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted January 13, 2012 #13 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thats total is for RCCL and not just RCI and doesn't include crew berths True, but the OP was pondering how the brand numbers related to the larger numbers. Extrapolating the RCL brand pax/crew ratio of 2.9 pax/crew, the aggregate total for the corporation would be approximately 123,600 across the entire RCI 40 ship fleet:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wieslaw Posted January 13, 2012 #14 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Take a look at this: " Cruise passengers carried worldwide in 2012 is estimated at 20.3 million, a 5.6% increase over 2011 http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/cruise-market-watch-announces-2012-cruise-trends-forecast-134661918.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcuecruise Posted January 13, 2012 #16 Share Posted January 13, 2012 While unrealistic, a think getting all RC ships together at the same time for a group photo would be cool. You know, like an armada. I supposed one could try with Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, like an armada. I supposed one could try with Photoshop. Now you have a good idea for an ad campaign. A great advertising company could pull off something like this and make people want to be one of that "exclusive" group of people. Who needs the sea to call them? All of those people can't be wrong. :) Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wieslaw Posted January 13, 2012 #19 Share Posted January 13, 2012 If they ( the ships) got in line ....... the line would be 4.156 miles long ( 6.68km)....... what a traffic jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will773 Posted January 13, 2012 #21 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'll do it for Carnival too: Fantasy Class: 8 ships 2634 passengers + 920 crew = 28,432 total passengers Destiny Class: 1 ship 2642 passengers + 1040 crew = 3,682 total passengers Triumph Class: 2 ships 2758 passengers + 1100 crew = 7,716 total passengers Spirit Class: 4 ships 2124 passengers + 930 crew = 12,216 total passengers Conquest Class: 5 ships 2974 passengers + 1150 crew = 20,620 total passengers Splendor Class: 1 ship 3006 passengers + 1150 crew = 4,156 total passengers Dream Class: 2 ships 3652 passengers + 1369 crew = 10,042 This brings up a grand total of 86,864 passengers. With the addition of the Breeze this year, Carnival will have 91,885 people on ships at any one time. Funny, I though they were the biggest cruise line.

There's a difference. Yes, RCI is the biggest cruise line in terms of passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
