    That doesn’t mean anything. Because we double triple and quadruple up on cabins more than a normal cruise. They run out of life raft space well before they run out of rooms.

    I’m not say they are not sold out. I’m just saying rooms available is a different thing.
    And I'm saying it's a large enough amount of rooms in a stretch that it's enough of an indicator
    Feels like a normal amount of crowd on the boat. We can debate whether it’s sold out or not, but I think it’s pretty clear that it’s sold well overall.

    I think app usage is up from last year. I will check after the cruise, but last I checked, we were at 2,130 users in the last 30 days.

    As an outsider (sobs!) this year, photos I've seen online doesnt look 100% capacity to me. Merch queue was nowhere near what its been in the past.

    I'd put it somewhere between 2023 and 2024 levels - will be interesting to find out the final "official" numbers.

    Skipper's speech probably the best litmus test of status of boat patronage though - that the single event where you will always get the most cruisers in the same place at the same time I reckon.

    The boat definitely felt pretty packed to me.

    Agreed on the fact that it sold well overall. That final pool deck set was the best on board indicator.

    Not as packed as pre-pandemic boats but definitely the most it's been since then. I'd say maybe we got up to 95%, which for most festivals is well within the black (70K is so different though so who knows if that holds true here :lol: )

    Gotta agree on the pretty packed part. So many shows were incredibly full. The Sepultura full deck show was packed like crazy (which isn't a surprise). In fact, so many of the shows were packed, no matter the venue and at odd times of the day/night. I think this year the cruise had a lot of rookies. I met a lot of people who were wondering around trying to figure out their way on the boat, and a lot of people didn't know that there would be very long lineups of merch on day 2. But it's definitely a good thing that the boat sold really well (if the sold out part isn't true), both financially and also in terms of atmosphere on board.

    Ah yeah good point! That would explain the shorter queue than normal for the merch.

    Plus as word spread that there were very few boat shirts this year, there was even less desire to waste a night in line.

    It was very easy to "save" money this year when I already had most of the merch that I wanted (and for much cheaper and without giving RC a giant cut) because I bought it at a show or through the band directly
