How to check how filled a ship is

[pthjudy]

I know on Princess I can do a fake booking and actually see all unsold cabins. It actually is a good indication of a price drop. Is there a similar way on Royal? I am able to check prices by selecting my category, but I'd like to see how "sold out" that sailing is.

Royal's web site only shows a few open staterooms in each category.

There are other online travel agent sites that give you more info on rooms unsold, but we aren't allowed to mention agents here. If you google available cabins and scan then you might find more info. We found that if you do the booking on RCI you can click on something for other cabins available, and quite a few come up. You can then back out before creating a hold.

So there's really no way to check if the ship is selling? On our cruise a few months ago, we saw so many empty cabins and knew we would be upgraded. We were. I guess I'll just keep checking the price.

You can pretty much count on each sailing being full....even if all the cabins aren't sold, the maximum number of souls onboard will be there!
