Thank you Jim.  I got a great deal on an Aqua Suite on the Ascent from Barcelona to FL.    I think it’s a great deal compared to todays pricing but hubby still thinks it’s too pricey.  But I do enjoy laying out by the pool and hot tub outdoors.  I think for our 1st TA I should pick a Southern crossing.   What a bummer. 

 

I think you will enjoy regardless...   I'm not big on laying in the sun but walk long distance daily.

Royal Caribbean has been boasting - last week - or the week before that one of their ships on a transat broke all capacity records - 7000 plus people including passengers and crew. Not something to boast about in my opinion.

Some people like to be round that many people

but I find S&M class ships a nice size for TAs

Hate to sound stupid, but where on Sea Scanner are you finding these availability charts ?

The long answer 
First you need to have a problem of not being able to sleep past 4-5 in the morning 

Next you need to have re runs on the tv as you cannot watch anything new without the wife 

Than have a bit of knowledge of google sheets , which I know the bear minimum

most important you need how to count pass 19 without your fingers and toes , I would have said 20 but I need my pointer finger to mark the empty cabins , so that why there could be mistakes 🤣

The short answer , I counted and made the spreadsheets myself 😉

You should go into business doing this for someone.
