This is a model, not a measurement. Each ship contributes its published double-occupancy capacity multiplied by an estimated share of passengers who reach that spot, ramped up over the first few hours in port and down before all-aboard. Real numbers depend on excursion bookings, weather, and how many guests stay aboard. Use it to tell a quiet day from a busy one, not to predict an exact headcount.
