EB1254 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hey folks, So I have a cruise coming up om Allure in mid September. I know that there is cruising with reduced capacity but wanted to know if anyone has heard specific information going into the summer? Thanks for any information!

Hagar Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Even though they say 30-50% through the end of this year, initial reporting is trickling in that crew to passenger ratio feels like 1 to 1 cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EB1254 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I wouldn't complain about that at all. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJS2766 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I’m starting to wonder if I’m the only one on the Symphony on October 16th. I started a roll call thread and with some 47 days left, hardly anyone has responded that they are on that same cruise. That’s a large ship to cruise at 40% or so!

twangster Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 September is historically a slower month in general terms primarily because many schools around the country are back in session. It wasn't unusual in prior years to see lower prices in September but this year with everything going on I think we'll see variable capacity. I don't think they'll need to throttle too many bookings and we'll likely see one week way different from the next. For ships with 3/4 cycles the weekend 3 night cruises will likely have more guests and the weekday 4 night cruises could be much lower. For larger ships having to reach the point of blocking new bookings probably isn't going to happen. It will be a great time to sail all ships but Oasis class ships will be fantastic experiences. Don't even worry about the Key not being offered, you won't need it. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roll Call threads on this site are pretty new and not used heavily yet. If you want to reach out to (or even just see) more people on your sailing, check Facebook or Cruise Critic and see if you find more people who are talking about that sailing.

I watched a youtube videa of someone on the ship last week and she said there were only about 1,300 passengers so that's only about 20%.

Rob83 Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I am sailing on Allure of the Seas September 19th through the 26th. I have wondered the same question. Thanks for asking! I’ll be following this thread. cruisellama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
