Right. But even 70% is a big difference from a full ship.Yes but we don't really know what that reduced capacity is. 30%? 50% 70%?

My point though is that people are using the UK 50% as their assumption, and that just is not within the US guidance. The limitation here is likely to be based on dining capacity with no mixed tables more than any other factor.Right. But even 70% is a big difference from a full ship.
Occupancy is always a difficult thing to measure. They normally calculate it based on "double occupancy" meaning 2 people per room, which is why ships often sail above "100%"My point though is that people are using the UK 50% as their assumption, and that just is not within the US guidance.

We have no idea what they are basing their reduced capacity numbers on. They're likely putting different caps on young children (unvaccinated) than adults (probably mostly vaccinated), but our assumptions are only conjecture.My point though is that people are using the UK 50% as their assumption, and that just is not within the US guidance.

It would be interesting to know the exact number but I'm not sure if we'll get it. I agree that 70% will be a major difference but I have a feeling it will be even less.Right. But even 70% is a big difference from a full ship.
Has there been any word on if the dining rooms have had any changes whilst sailings haven’t been happening? I’d thought they might have swapped some of the larger tables for more smaller ones to allow more parties in when it’s one party, one table but haven’t seen anything to say this has happened.Occupancy is always a difficult thing to measure.

You can look at dining room tables as a good indication. If they are at 50% of the tables seated, that is far less than 50% capacity. The true measure of a ships capacity is it's lifeboats. You can't have more butts than seats there.
That's for those 2021 cruisers who are already within the penalty period for their cruise or who booked concierge (which has a non-refundable deposit). Even those people can get 100% back through August 6th (not 9th). If your cruise hasn't reached the PIF date yet and you never booked concierge, then you can still get a full refund until your PIF date.I thought we were able to cancel anytime before our paid in full date and get our deposit back. What is this must cancel by August 9th date?
Thank you. I will keep waiting then. I'm hoping he can get vaxxed before our cruise. Then, we'll go.That's for those 2021 cruisers who are already within the penalty period for their cruise or who booked concierge (which has a non-refundable deposit).

What are the kids club limits? I haven’t seen a comprehensive list of changes, though I’m sure it’s on a thread somewhere.We're waiting and seeing, we're doing the Fantasy in January. I'm fine with the masks, but the kids club limits are a hard no for us. Assuming vaccines are rolled out to kids as planned in September, I'm hoping the clubs can be opened up fully. However, if they're not or my kiddo can't be vaxed we'll have to cancel/delay. We knew this when we booked, so it's just more waiting right now.
