Will they sail less than full?

[bstrong3]

If they are required to sail less than full(say 50%), and the cruise I am booked on(Feb. 2022) is almost sold out now. How do you think they will decide who gets bumped off?

No one knows at this point.  But when they do decide, step back get out of the way Cruise Critic is gonna explode!

Already a  thread about this

You started a thread with the identical title last year. Rather than start a new one, you should have asked for an update using the existing thread.

This made me think of a Bee Gees song: I started A Joke....1968/9?  Was well before my time though 🤣

Of course. Your babysitter would play it before tucking you in bed, right?

VERY perceptive, Fouremco, very perceptive

Here is a link that will get you others thoughts, probably where the mods will move your post

Did I miss the election of you becoming the thread police? This is the 2nd thread I’ve read in the last 20 minutes where you have said this....

Anyone care to reiterate?🙄

Strong.    Jelayne posted the last thing that I have seen in regards to your question.  Appears that there will need to be some serious thought as to who goes, and who doesn't.. No doubt the most expensive category rooms booked,  will get to go first.  They gotta make a lot of money back.   Don't expect them to pick out of a hat for this year.   2022 is still a year away besides.

Go to this thread:

My opinion is that no one is likely to be bumped off.  The cruises that appear to be fully booked right now might not be.  Some posters say they have multiple cruises booked, to keep their options open, but don't plan to use them all.  And, reading all the posts that say "I won't cruise if I have to wear a mask/use cruise line excursions/distance/be vaccinated/etc."  will opt out anyway, once the rules are known.  That leaves the ship for the rest of us who are willing to comply.

Unless you're talking about 2023, I would think masks, at least, will be a requirement. American Cruise Lines has already said vaccines will be a requirement. That makes 2 cruise lin. We may be seeing a trend here.

Valid points. We have friends who have four cruises booked for Feb 5, 2022. I think they are a bit extreme (maybe?) but certainly not alone in, what some may call aggressive, planning. Concerning expensive suites, I do wonder if people will follow through and make final payment when they have booked far more expensive cabins than they normally would.

I just wish that Celebrity would do what I think they most likely already know they will need to do, cancel cruises through the summer season.  My final payment for an August cruise is not due until May 28, I will wait until very close before I cancel, in the hopes they do so first.  Then I will take tthe 100% refund.  I feel for folks who have to make final payment decision even sooner, to pay or not to pay, my sense is at this point most just want to take the refund.

I'd be ok with that if it gets us cruising again.

And now there is a thread on "Is it okay to book overlapping cruises?"  A number of replies say Sure, I do it all the time, to keep my options open.
