5waldos Posted May 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Just idle curiousity- wonder how many guarantee cabin reservations cruise lines take? Do they overbook? Do people ever get "bumped" from cruises like they do from planes? Anyone have any ideas? Not worried about it, just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted May 23, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Most cruise lines overbook. The maximum capacity of a cruise ship 105 to 110 % of the number berths. The rated number is with two passengers per cabin. With 3 & 4 person cabins the will be over the stated capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5waldos Posted May 23, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Interesting. Just had never wondered about the (hopefully small) chance of being bumped off a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYNSport Posted May 23, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Interesting. Just had never wondered about the (hopefully small) chance of being bumped off a ship. I've seen a number of posts where people mention getting "bought out" of overbooked cruises. This is the only thread I've ever seen where someone was denied boarding for overbooking. You have to read through a little bit to discover this happened to the OP. Definitely very rare ("when the moon turns blue") event. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2431082&highlight=Overbooked+cruise+denied+boarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
