12. CRUISE SHIP FACILITIES
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.

13. 2. PRIVATE SPACE
• Private spaces are reserved for the ship’s personnel. These include the
crew’s cabins, cafeteria, gym and recreational facilities, the bridge
where the vessel is controlled, the gallery or kitchen, and machine
areas.

These are areas dedicated to passengers’ usage. The public areas in
cruise ships are similar with those of land-based hotels. The

cruise ships.

Similar to a hotel lobby, the reception area in cruise ships has
several offices. These offices have direct contact with guests.

beverage outlets typical in land-based hotels, the size of the dining
area usually depends on the carrying capacity of the vessel.

business functions, such as conventions, conferences, and
