Guinness1000 Posted December 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I came across a post on YT where someone who sailed two weeks ago said there were only 800 pax on the ship. I think it has a 2700 capacity. Can this be true? We're leaving next Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepcman Posted December 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Anything is possible. The bookings change cruise to cruise if you haven't noticed. Check your crystal ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted December 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) That seems rather unlikely as other Jewel sailings have sold well. (Maybe that could have happened 54 weeks ago, but I really doubt two weeks ago) In any case, there seem to be only two available cabins for Thursday’s holiday sailing. Expect a full ship.

I hope you're right. I'm okay with lighter than full capacity, but less than 1/3 seemed kind of dull. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even last year (with vaccination requirements, precruise testing and masking), the holiday sailings were full. Free of those requirements, your sailing will have drawn plenty of people. Have great time! And take good care of Jewel…we’re on the next sailing. Edited December 17, 2022 by Starry Eyes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it was RC's Jewel of the Seas, and not Norwegian Jewel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Thanksgiving, they were expecting a full ship. It was the cruise after ours as we got off the 19th (Sunday before Thanksgiving). I don't think 800 is correct. Who is the YTer who posted that?

sjb317 Posted December 17, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 17, 2022 We are currently on Jewel, getting off tomorrow, and there are over 2200 passengers on board. This was the second week of a B2B and it definitely seemed more crowded than our first week. Sherri🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewel cruises on Sat or Sun depending on whether they're doing a 6 or 7 night itinerary. Jewel will be on a holiday schedule. Dec17-22, Dec 22-31, Dec 31-Jan6. She will also have some different cruise lengths in the new year. Edited December 17, 2022 by Starry Eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want to know who the YTer was or what the title of the video was. The OP saying they just "came across" it doesn't carry any weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted December 17, 2022 #15 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) So, someone in the comments says there were 800 on board. I still don't buy it. The ship has been sailing near capacity since it returned to PC. Edited December 17, 2022 by BND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't about you. It's about a post on a YT that is more than likely incorrect. Every other cruise since Jewel returned to PC has had over 2200 people onboard.

Starry Eyes Posted December 17, 2022 #20 Share Posted December 17, 2022 That YT commenter’s thoughts are worth the price you paid for them. Of course, you’re paying the same price for mine, so…. 😉😀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted December 17, 2022 #21 Share Posted December 17, 2022 800 is incorrect. Just because someone puts it on a blog, or in a video, doesn’t make it correct. The ship has been and continues to sail around the 2500 range. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirl1 Posted December 17, 2022 #22 Share Posted December 17, 2022 We are on board and B2B and just learned that the upcoming 5 night cruise (Dec 17) has over 2650 guests with about 25% children. It us reported to be the highest passenger count since the return to sailing. m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starry Eyes Posted December 17, 2022 #23 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) The 2700 cited by that commenter is close to Jewel’s absolute maximum capacity. With 1072 cabins, her double occupancy capacity should be 2144. For the Dec 17 cruise at 2650, she will be at 124% of double occupancy capacity.
