Normal
About capacity.. I will let you know in about 14 days we are flying over to Southampton on the 27th and boarding the ship on the 29th. We have done 7 cruises this year, and with each one the numbers continue to climb.Unfortunately that is not always a good thing, as they are having trouble with staffing them, so service can be off. One of the problems with staff at the first was that they had to sign up for x amount of months with the understanding that they would NOT be allowed off the ships for the whole time.Many bulked at this. But that seems to be a thing of the past, so hopefully everything will be back to normal soon. on one cruise back in Nov last year, we pulled into St. Thomas next to one of the RCL "beasts" I think it was the Freedom of the seas. it had 400 pax on it! All the cruise lines have been sailing at a loss. They only break even when half full, so anything below that number and they are losing money.
