If this is any help, we sailed right before the shutdown (3/6/2020 for 3 nights on the dream) and the ship was at 3300 or so they said. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves still. No waits for anything, plenty of space in the bars and around the ship. No wait for a lounge chair by the pool or for a hot tub. It was GREAT.
The only truly miserable sailing we've ever done was the week before April on the Fantasy back in '19. The ship was at max capacity and so many other guests were SO CRANKY and obnoxious.
We were also on this sailing. There was plenty of space in the bars. The one evening we walked into Meridian and there were only 3 people sitting at the bar. We did find lines for the Aqua Duck and we had some difficulty finding an open lounge chair at CC, but that is also because we were slow to get off the ship. We did not feel crowded like we did at the parks.
We are scheduled to sail on the Fantasy on 1/22, so I am checking this thread often. Our cruise group on FB is pretty big (and active) and the inside and oceanview rooms are no longer available, but there seems to be plenty of rooms available in concierge.
