SlmGT Posted April 22, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2010 CNN claims there were ~2,340 passengers on the Ecstasy, but Carnival lists the guest capacity at 2056 :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencercoop Posted April 22, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2010 CNN claims there were ~2,340 passengers on the Ecstasy, but Carnival lists the guest capacity at 2056 :confused: 2,056 is double occupancy. There are 3 and 4 guests in some rooms so the number of pax on the ship rises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave85 Posted April 22, 2010 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2010 CNN claims there were ~2,340 passengers on the Ecstasy, but Carnival lists the guest capacity at 2056 :confused: CNN's likely counting 3rd and 4th passenger berths in cabins (the actual number of passengers on the ship). I'm reasonably sure that the 2056 is just lower berths number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted April 22, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Carnival ships routinely sail at over 100% capacity.;) they said during earnings once they had averaged 103% capacity, which is for all their ships I guess, so some were way over and some under.

DocF Posted April 22, 2010 #12 Share Posted April 22, 2010 CNN claims there were ~2,340 passengers on the Ecstasy, but Carnival lists the guest capacity at 2056 :confused: Capacity rating is based on two people per stateroom. The fact is that many if not all cabins can accommodate more than two people. The legal limit is probably about 2900 for a Fantasy class ship such as Ecstasy.

cruie4ever Posted April 22, 2010 #14 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Shouldn't the injured people get some compensation from Carnival in the form of a future cruise credit & or OBC ,since it was no fault of their own to incur the injuries ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoothdancer Posted April 22, 2010 #15 Share Posted April 22, 2010 The article said no one had to be hospitalized, so no I would not think compensation is called for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ship is less than 100% sold out, CCL calls up a hurricane and cancels the cruise. Everybody knows that.:rolleyes::p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
