Ship capacity

Sometime a long time ago, I think I saw a post that listed a website that you could check how full the cruise was during a sailing. Does anyone know how to find that?

Ship's Capacity:

well there are about 875 rooms.

If you average 3 people per room that works out to 2625 passengers.

But,
each Dinning room hold 475 guests and there are 3 rooms with two seatings each that gives a maximum of 2850 guests.

But,
the Walt Disney Theater holds about 950 guests and they have two shows per night and that means there's room for only 1900 passengers.

The real limiting factor on the capacity of the ships are the number of passengers that can fit in the lifeBOATS. I believe that this number limits the Magic and Wonder to 2600 passengers each.

As to determine how many people are on any given sailing you would just have to guess (because I don't think that there is a web site that will show ALL available rooms on any given cruise). Sometimes people that have tried Travelocity or Expedia think that they see all of the available rooms for a sailing - but I'm not sure about that.

The way it was explained to us was the child to counsilor ratio in the kids clubs. You may see a lot of empty rooms because of the number of children on board. DCL has to assume every child will go to the kids clubs and they have to be able to accomodate.
