As to the pickleball/tennis question, I only ever saw pickleball being played on the previous (Nov 23-Dec 2) sailing.

On the Serenity now sailing toward Nassau. The ship and staff are as lovely as I remember - and many of the crew remembered me and my wife.

No tags were sent to us for Nov 23 departure

Correction - boarding Thursday…… flights are Wednesday

Good to hear the positive comments. We board Serenity on Wednesday for a 9-night San Juan to Miami trip after a prolonged absence from cruising and leisure travel in general (thanks Covid 😞 ). Glad to hear that Crystal is back to its former self - and then some....

Load factor is the number of guests on board vs the capacity of the ship. It’s basically an indicator of demand.
