Curious--about how many passengers are sailing?

Yes, what is the % capacity or this cruise.

 

I apologize if it's already reported.

As far as I can tell, because there is no self serve, the freestyle machines are not available. The soft serve ice cream is all served (can’t make the foot tall cone). 

Thank you.  And bummer, but I had a feeling that would be the case.

A source on twitter claims 1,064 passengers on board.

Great,  they still have the ice cream machines going. Now that I know they are around I can start booking cruises again!  Looks like I will need to get two at a time now.

I watched several different YTer's live last night and one said 1050 passengers and another said 1100.  Either way, about 1/3 full.  Watched a couple of live feeds from CC today and it's really noticeable that there aren't that many people.

Lot’s of these (below) in MDR and QR menus (they have disposable paper menus for those technology challenged)

 

1st off thank you for this thread, definitely enjoying it

Another step towards normalcy

Not technology challenged, for my age bracket😁

One of the reasons I like cruising, is shutting phone off and being disconnected 

Glad to see there is an option, for those of us, that dont want to carry a phone while cruising

Ship's tours only or flexible to book independently.

I'm so happy to have logged on to Cruise Critic today and find this Live post.  It's so refreshing to see someone onboard a ship!  I can't wait as more ships go in the upcoming months to read the reviews, etc.  Thank you for taking time out of your day to share with all of us at home!

We just got onboard and they are already preparing to kick us off. Book as soon as you can if you want a good time. Otherwise you will be swabbing in the middle of dinner.

Bird - a couple of questions about C&A benefits.  I am D+

 

1.  Do we still get a BOGO in Chops and Giovanni's the first two nights?

 

2.  Do we still get a free photo?

 

3.  Do we still get some free water in our room?

 

4.  Do we still get the free gifts for the 340+ points?

 

Thanks.

They gave them the information to register for their Covid testing to be able to travel back home once the cruise is over.

So you can't make your own taco?

 Wow , those are going to be some expensive ice cream cones? Might be better options for you then booking cruises?  LOL

There is always Ben and Jerry’s on the promenade 

[BirdTravels]

Loungers are placed to ensure proper social distancing on the beach.

Hate the ocean, hang out by the Oasis Pool.

Have you tried the ice cream down by the pool.  So good.  Might be the sea air all around it.  It’s the only reason I cruise! Ben and Jerry’s is an option but it is inside.  Maybe I will get a B&J next time and carry it out to the pool.  Then I can see if the sea air has the sam effect on all ice cream.
