occupancy

In principal, if a ship can hold 2197 double occupancy and then 2,697 full occupancy, where are the extra 500 people put?

In the triple and quadruple occupancy cabins.

occupancy of a cruise ship is always based on maximum of 2 per cabin (some ships have 1 person rooms).   Capacity is the maximum allowed on the ship by regulations as well as cabins able to hold more that 2 people.

Some years ago, they were sent to steerage, and even further back in time, they went to the galley and given an oar. I believe all these ships are now retired. 😉

@Nanasue1949 That's an excellent question. Different cabin types have differing capacities. Not all cabins are used to their full capacity. For instance, most staterooms hold up to 4 guests, but many times it is one or two guests that cruise per stateroom. I usually cruise with my entire family and need a stateroom that fits up to five guests. Not many staterooms offer this capacity, and for those that do, they aren't usually used to their total capacity.

@Woody14 & @FJB That's good insight.

@kefthecruiserYou made me laugh!

@Kendall James-Vargas So, there was nothing I could add to the others, so I offered up a historical (perhaps warped) view. Glad to add some levity to the day.

 

Cruise on...

@kefthecruiser You cracked me up too! I'm not sure if I could top your comedy here. I could add that I noticed that Carnival Cruise Line has some new beverage options. The cruise line partnered with Lyre's and it sounds like a great combo. I love that Lyre's uses only all-natural additives. I'm not prone to consuming much of anything artificially produced nowadays.
