I imagine he is going to be a bit salty though because there are so many people that are hosted on this cruise. It is going to be packed with them. I didn't book this cruise for that reason but am looking forward to hearing from some of my hosted friends onboard. Plus, DCL did say that they couldn't guarantee a full experience as a preview cruise when the initial booking was announced. Not to mention, that the same cruise is half the price if you don't mind waiting a couple of months. Not ideal for someone monetizing the trip, but for us regular people, a much better deal.
