Too soon to cruise?

Thinking of booking Sept.18 Horizon.  Do you think people are ready to return to cruising, or will I be on a ghost ship.

Well, there’s about 6 of us in the roll call, granted it’s not very active. I think a lot of people are taking the wait and see approach. We will know a heck of a lot more come this weekend when Carnival makes it’s first sailing out of the U.S. So, if you have any hesitation, I guess I’d just wait and see what happens. I do know it will be a reduced capacity cruise, no clue at what percentage though.

I have a September 14 cruise to Alaska and there are over 300 in the voyage's page on the book of faces.

Lol I've read one thread where someone was sure the capacity was really closer to 80% than 50 or 60%. .. and you think people arent ready to book again. 

 

At the right price someone is always willing to book...

HAH...... I think it'd be great to be on a sparsely populated cruise.  But I don't believe that's going to be the case for September.  I'm on the Magic out of Port Canaveral September 17th and it seems to be filling.

Def will not be a ghost ship, my guess (only can be that till they start) would be 60 -70 %. Occupancy

 It definitely won't be a ghost ship, a lot of people are very ready.

Carnival CEO just said they don't have supply to meet demand.

 

I'm on Norwegian Jade on July 25th, and it has been sold out for several weeks. So are 2 of the August sailings.

I'm booked on August the 21st- I've been ready for a year, lol. I think there's a lot of pent up demand and that the ship will be pretty full.

September is three long months away!
We're at the end of June.

 

Things will be different again by September

probably for the better, by quite a bit I should think!

Between now and September

dozens of cruises will have either succeeded or failed

and we'll be in a far far better position to judge how things are going!

christmas on mardi gras is sold out. so either limited capacity and they maxed out or just full to the brim.
