1. STATEROOM SPACE
• If hotels have guestrooms, a cruise ship has a stateroom or a cabin. Ship
staterooms are usually extremely compact but all spaces are well utilized to
answer all the guests need.
There are three types of ship staterooms:
A. Outside staterooms are meant for guests who may have a preference for
an ocean view. Since most of the spaces in cruise ships are well utilized,
this type of room does not give off a feeling of smallness due to its ocean
view.
B. Inside staterooms are cheaper than outside staterooms since they do not
have windows. To create a bigger space for the room, several deign
methods have been employed by cruise ships, like the use of colors,
patterns, and mirrors.
C. As with hotels, suites are the most expensive rooms on a ship. Today,
suites in cruise ships may be comparable to land-based hotels. Services
and facilities inside the room are highly personalized to exceed guest
expectations.
