Accomodations

Passengers must rest somewhere after a busy day at sea! Of course, cruise cabins are not as big as the typical hotel room. Some cabins may also have pullman beds that can sleep an extra guest. However, the cruise line will have to be contacted in order to ensure their availability. There are usually 4 different types of cabins found on cruise ships as described below:

1.1 Inside Cabins
These are the smallest cabins and can typically sleep up to three guests. Since inside cabins do not have a porthole, passengers who typically feel sick at sea may prefer to have an outside cabin with a window. Inside cabins generally have a washroom with a shower, a vanity area, closet, private safe, television, refrigerator, a pullman bed (if available) and two single beds that can be arranged into a queen.



1.2 Outside or Oceanview Cabins
Outside cabins can sleep up to 4-5 guests. These cabins offer sofa beds, pullman bed (if available), a vanity area, closet, private safe, television, refrigerator, washroom with shower, and a porthole.



1.3 Balcony Cabins
Balcony cabins can sleep up to 4-5 guests. These cabins include sofa beds, pullman bed (if available), a vanity area, closet, private safe, television, refrigerator, washroom with shower, and a balcony.

1.4 Suites
Suites vary on different ships. The most common suites are large cabins, similar to the size of a typical hotel room, and can sleep up to 6 guests depending on the number of rooms and pullman availability. These cabins generally have large balconies, a vanity area, closet, private safe, one or two television (depending on the number of rooms), refrigerator, salon area, washroom with bathtub and a large sofa bed.

Some ships may have 2 or more rooms depending on the ship and cruise line. Many ships also offer family suites which can accommodate up to 6 guests.
