How can you know if your cruise is fully booked?

[untailored bostonian]

Is there any way, any site, where you can see how fully booked your cruise is?

Not really, travel agents/companies will 'hold' multiple rooms so it looks busier than it is.

you can assume that the ship will be full at the time of sailimg.

When it disappears from the available cruises on the NCL web site, it is sold out.

 

Fully booked is a relative term. We were on the Jewel a couple of weeks ago. The ship was still selling rooms. But there were 2800 passengers on board compared to their 2300 passenger capacity (which is double occupancy). The 500+ passengers in the 3rd and 4th bunks did strain the resources on the smaller ship.

NCL.com's Price is one way to gauge

 

Price goes down = vacancies.

 

Rising price near sailing = filling up

 

That and counting cabins in each category, ( NCL will Show Max of 15 cabin in each cat. )

There can be available cabins, but still be "fully booked", if there are many "multiples" in many cabins. It's all about lifeboat capacity...not sold cabins

If you do a search for is a cruise fully booked...there are a couple of sites that track historical changes in fare for each category on a ship, and also what categories are still available to book...

There is absolutely no way to easily tell. You can assume that during the summer, at school breaks and holidays most ships sail at about 104% of double occupancy capacity. The rest of the year they are at about 100% of double occupancy.

 

You could spend hours researching and never get a true answer, because the information is propitiatory and the cruise lines are not going to release it to anyone.

More or less what I thought.

A side note... We've seen in the past, where pax find an issue with their cabin once on board.

When they go to the Service Desk and ask for a change, the standard answer is,

"Sorry, we're fully booked". Easy.

Are you asking about how booked it will be on the day you set sail? (See answers above)

 

 

Or are you asking about how to check on the number of unbooked open and available cabins on a ship sailing a few weeks or months from now?

Same answers apply to the latter question too. There is no reliable way to find out the number of all available cabins before the cruise either.

 

(All you can see is max 15 cabins per subcategory but nothing says that if the listing shows less than 15 that there wouldn't be more available cabins not shown in the list for various reasons.)

We've booked through CruCon on several occasions and often times their website will display more then the "standard 15" that are displayed on the NCL site. That was some time ago, so I don't know if this is still accurate.

We got off the Dawn on Friday. At the onboard Q&A with some officers it was said that the maximum number of persons allowed on the Dawn during a cruise is 4,000 (that includes passengers and crew). When there are too many passengers on board, for instance because of a high number of 3 or 4 in a cabin, then in order not to go over the 4,000 limit some crew members do not sail with the ship but are put up in a hotel for the duration of the cruise. The Cruise Director said this is very popular with the crew as they get an expense paid vacation on land. I did not know this happened occasionally and found it to be very interesting.

Thanks,

Interesting web-site( http://www.crucon.com/ ) for exploring our upcoming cruise.

Only showed 6 Spa Balconies available on our NCL Bliss cruise next year.

To answer the title - easy. If you try to book a cabin and all are SOLD OUT - it is then fully booked.

 

To answer the question about how close to fully booked... the above answers should give you some idea.
