Large charter group on ship

[gamecockinnc]

My sister and I try cruise every fall and have a break from our wonderful children. Plus have some quality sister time. In November 2015 we sailed on the CCL Breeze . I did notice at check in there were A LOT of wheelchairs, scooters, walkers and elderly passengers. More so than usual for off season.

 

It was a sold out sailing too but once on board we rarely saw many people especially in the evenings. The first two days were sea days and there were NO issues in getting a nice chair by the back pool or really any where on the ship!

 

I had just sailed on the Breeze a few weeks prior and that was also a fall sailing but the difference in the two sailings was drastic.

 

Finally on the 3rd night after dinner we were walking around and the ship was almost like a ghost ship.

 

We headed to the casino and BAM we found the other 3300 passengers. [emoji23]

Apparently, we were on a special gambling cruise where many of the participants had to qualify through out the year for this high stakes Black Jack tournament as well as other higher than normal return bingo, slots, craps etc.

 

These were serious gamblers. It ended up being the opposite of what many people have with charters on their ships and large groups of bikers, country music fans, WWF fans.

 

It was SO laid back and quiet at night that it was eerie. But it was a relaxing cruise for sure. We got lucky.

I am at present onbord Allure, B2B, and next week there will be a large group from Playboy onbord, followed with 2000 from Playboy on the feb 14 cruise, I was told it was a buy-out, which means they have the whole ship, even if they just 2000 people booked, not the full capacity of 6000. Does this sound like a joke ? I was told tonight by one of the crewmembers.

MOZ: Sailed with this group last year on the Liberty of the Seas. Never really saw them much, and when I did it was during the day on the sports deck. At night I personally only saw them in passing. Fun was had by all!

Glad to hear they chartered the ship. We sailed with them last year on Oasis and they closed off the boardwalk a couple of nights for the group including embarkation day.

We were supposed to be on that sailing. As soon as I heard about it I called RCL and they allowed me to switch to Allure with no penalty. This was a week before sailing

Depwife , moz and others, we will know shortly. Bon Voyage

Moz is referring to "Apostolics at sea" , I dont know much about the group, just some internet searches. It seems it will be approx 800-1100 on the Independence of the Seas. Once again I dont know much, but I know they are bringing some of their own entertainment, and I would think some of the standard shows would not fit the groups "views". I figure 800 less people in line for the bars and some shows will be a plus, dining may be an issue however. Maybe one of the 2 AaS members can smooth some things over Moz on the Roll Call that is set up. Not sure, I'm Catholic lol

 

Apostolic is a church denomination. So it will be a church group!!;p
