Summit vs RCCL Jewel - Pax capacity?

[jb008]

I've read posts about the general difference between Celebrity and RCCL and obviously the amenities will vary between Summit and Jewel, but I haven't really seen much about the difference in passenger capacity (1,950 vs 2,501).

 

How big of a difference does the extra 500 people make (+28%)?

Does the 500 fewer people result in a little shorter lines, a little less crowded on deck, and a little less bustle in port, or is it not really noticeable?

That number for the Jewel is with all berths full. Her double occupancy is 2100. Summit passenger count is 2138. There is not a big difference in passenger count between the two.

Thanks - didn't realize the 2,100 was double occupancy number. I was seeing Also as a reference I saw the 1,950 on a 3rd party travel agent site, which appears to be outdated now (or just plain wrong).

 

Thanks again!
