Recife crowd calendar questions

Each ship counts its guests at standard occupancy (two per cabin) plus its crew. A ship without a published capacity is listed in the schedule but not counted.

It compares the day with a typical Recife day with ships. Quiet is under half of that, Light 50–85%, Typical 85–115%, Busy 115–150% and Peak more than one and a half times. Each port is compared with itself, so a Busy day in a small port has far fewer people than one in a big homeport.

Most ships call at Recife for the day: they arrive in the morning and leave in the late afternoon, so the town and its sights are busiest in between.

The calendar covers this month and the next 11 months of published itineraries. Lines add and change calls, so dates further out can still move.
