Cruise occupancy

[avidsailor123]

Hi! Is anyone sailing / has sailed recently on any carnival cruise and can share their passenger count / occupancy? I'm super curious how busy ships are right now! 

Thanks

There are a dozen threads on every cruise line forum asking the same question.  There are no definitive numbers. Scroll down the pages to see what others have said.  EM

Ship was jammed - Magic 6/28-7/6.  100% occupancy.

Mostlly Full

Off the Dream 2 weeks ago. 4200 guests. So 115% full based on double occupancy.

Jun 10-20 2022 Carnival Miracle to Alaska. 2088 guests - 98% full at double occupancy.

Conquest leaving 8/12 seems to be 99% booked. Tried to get additional balcony cabin for a friend and only a few inside cabins were left.

Off the Valor two weeks ago it was at 100% capacity.

Elation 5 weeks ago. It was 80-85% capacity.

April - Mardi Gras over 100%

June - Radiance - 100%

July - Miracle - very close to 100% (sorry, can't remember the exact number)

 

We have been on 9 cruises in the past year and the last one that was reduced capacity was Radiance in February.  Since then, cruise capacity seems very much back to normal in our experience (if not increased).  I definitely get the feel that people are making up for lost vacationing.🙂

Yep, pretty much sailing full or close to it.  Expect that part to be normal again.

But man those cruises in 2021 with like 60% capacity sure were nice weren't they folks

Even 2022 - my January cruise had 40% and February had 60% occupancy.  A real delight!

40% almost sounds like it would be so empty it would be spooky.

I'll take spooky anyday over the 100%+ occupancy we had on my June Magic cruise.

Well... yes and no.  We were on Mardi Gras at 50% and 100% capacity.  At 50% half the venues were shut down.  So although the ship itself never felt crowded, they only used half the dining room, so it was still just as crowded.  Same with the buffet.  They shut down one whole buffet section so it was really crowded at peak times.  Some bars were never (or very seldom) open.  Staffing was lower so the crew to passenger ratio was similar.  It was a unique time and I'm glad we got to experience it, but I'm okay with things getting back to normal. 

...Now if the airlines could just get their act together...

Radiance July 25 - 110% Capacity

 

Long lines for virtually everything...

For now. With the economy going the way it is, I expect that to change.

Ah, reminiscing...

 

My cruise on the Celebrity Summit last September sailed at about 15% of capacity.  That was wonderful on one hand and yes, a little spooky on the other.

 

I had a cruise on Princess in November that went out between 25 and 30%.  That one felt a lot more crowded and felt similar to my April Princess cruise, which sailed at 70%.
