Eswort Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Matt mentioned on his live a little while ago that the 6/19 sailing has only around 900 passengers, this makes me nervous that I’m going have yet another cancelled cruise (one I thought would be more definite) I’m scheduled on the final sailing out of the Bahamas September 11th, do you think they can continue these sailings at 1/3 capacity?

I could be wrong, but I thought they were increasing capacity every so many days on these cruises as they ramp up to full cruising. Of course, things are always subject to change, but i personally don't think any of the Bahamas sailings are in danger, since they are actually going now, but who knows.

smokeybandit Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Based on what's still available for future cruises, the July ones look more booked than the June ones. It seems RC has a working agreement with the Bahamas on these cruises so even come September I bet they sail. I think it just goes to show how bad Bermuda bookings really were.

wordell1 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 I was told that this week was intentionally kept to 33 percent. The next 3 are planned at 50% and that they would increase from there. They did acknowledge that sales were very strong until the US cruises were announced and have decreased since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eswort Posted June 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Well everyone has made me feel a little better and maybe the threat of vaccinated people having to wear a masks out of FL will push a few more towards the Bahamas sailings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rerouted a lot of itineraries that were slated to port there as well because Bermuda required 100% vaccination for passengers. It appears from the comments, a lot are upset about the heavy restrictions and their effects on tourism in Bermuda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
