Any feedback from recent sailings? I almost get the impression passenger numbers are up as we head out of Summer.
We are on it now and there are 1700 sailors – max capacity is 2700. Apparently next sailing will be over 2000 and looks like it is getting busier. Loads of Virgin Atlantic crew as they all got a free cruise.
Seems like v few people actually paid for their cruise.
Today is sea day and everywhere on the boat is busy. I can imagine when it is busier it will be v difficult to get a sunbed as by the pool was already full at 10am.
Having said that this is our first cruise and we are really enjoying it.On my last cruise I got to the pool at 1pm and there were spaces on the sea day… That was nice!
My upcoming second cruise has all Sea Terrace & Ltd Sea Terrace rooms sold out.
