How to check cruise capacity?
To check the cruise capacity of a cruise line check its website.
You will get the details of the total stateroom capacity of each ship in their fleet.
But you will not be able to see if the cruise ship is full or how many staterooms are already booked.
When I tried to check how full my cruise ship was Carnival website had no information.
I tried that on my Mexico trip.
Then on my Caribbean trip, I tried to check again on the Norwegian Cruise Line.
Even when I called to find out how full my cruise ship was NCL staff said that they didn’t have any data.
They were correct because there was no such information on their website.
The stateroom categories were either “Sold Out” or “Available”.
There was no information on the status of the remaining staterooms on their ship.
After this, I tried it on a Royal Caribbean cruise to the Bahamas.
To my query of how full my cruise ship was Royal Caribbean website also didn’t divulge any information.
So, my conclusion is that you cannot check the number of unsold staterooms from any of the cruise lines.
I guess it is their trade secret.
Is there a way to find out whether your cruise ship is full?
Yes, there is a way to find out whether your cruise ship is full.

You can even see the location of the staterooms.
To see this you have to make a mock booking on the website.
So, this is the only workaround I found to be working.

Tips if your cruise ship is full
Here are my tips to know whether your cruise ship is full and what you can do about it:
- Check the number of available staterooms on cruise.com.
- If, your desired stateroom is available, book it immediately.
- Wait for their upgrade offer.
- If they send an upgrade offer, check the price difference.
- If you have the budget, place the bid.
My Bonus Tip: As the staterooms fill up, the cruise lines tend to increase their prices. They will only offer a discount or some extra perks, in case of empty staterooms at the last moment. So, whatever you do, do not wait for the last-minute deal.
