Welcome to CruiseStateroom.com

Thousands of cabin pictures, interactive deck plans, learn more about us.

Founded in 2001 by Dominique Vaccaro, a passionate cruise ship and old liner enthusiast since his childhood. He was concerned that only a few web sites provided a helpful and practical search for obtaining and visualization of cruise ship deck plans and staterooms available. Those that did, usually offered very little interactivity to find the configuration and location of a stateroom. One would get lost and perhaps bored by the opening of dozens of windows searching for information.

That is why this site came into existence. To help visitors, first time or even experienced cruise customers and travel agents search and find, through an easy to use and complete interface, the stateroom that would be best for their tastes, means or requests.

Cruise cabins and suites

Cruise ship rooms, floor plans, photos.

CruiseMapper's cabin and suites section allows you to explore cruise staterooms by ship. Each page provides extensive information on all passengers accommodations on a particular vessel, including floor plans, room types and categories (grades used upon booking), cabin sizes, deck location. Also provided is an extensive review of all ticket price inclusive en-suite amenities, along with furniture details and additional / bonus perks (if available).  

CruiseMapper logo

Here you will find brief descriptions by category of all stateroom types that can be found on cruise ship deck plans . You will find more information and many useful tips on staterooms at our best and worst cabins article. Here you can search for a particular ship (via the above search bar) or you can skip the introduction (explanations) and go down directly to our list of large passenger ships' cabin pages .

Cruise staterooms booking rates are usually based on deck location. Lower-deck accommodations are the cheapest. Midship rooms cost more. Balcony staterooms and Suites located aft or forward are the most expensive. Most cruise companies (especially those with large-sized vessels in the fleets) divide the main cabin types into subcategories. These grades are marked with numbers (like for balcony cabins - B1, B2, B3, B4) and are displayed on the deck layouts with different colors.

Cruise ship suites

Cruise suite accommodations are premium grades cabins. They are usually larger in comparison to balcony staterooms and feature more amenities. As a rule, suites have a full-size bathtub, larger shower, bigger closets and balcony (some have 2 private balconies). Amenities include coffee makers, premium sound systems, large-size TVs, complimentary butler service.

Loft Suites (aka Duplex Suites)

Loft Suites are "duplex suites" (on two levels) and available on the world's largest passenger ships of Royal Caribbean's Oasis-class and Quantum-class. The following layout is of Harmony of the Seas and its largest accommodation - the Royal Loft Suite.

Grand Suite

Twin beds in this type of cabin can be joined in a king bed. Grand Suites have also a double sofa bed and large private balcony, sitting area with 2-armchairs and a coffee table, desk, dressing area with vanity, walk-in closet, safe box, TV, phone, refrigerator, mini-bar, private bath with whirlpool tub and shower, patio chair and table, balcony lounge chair, pillow menu, bathrobes, hairdryer. See below the magnificent Oceania Marina ship's Owner Suite plan.

Captain Suite

Captains Suite accommodations have a huge 220 ft2 (20,5 m2) separate bedroom, while the living area is sized 290 ft2 (27 m2). There are 2 upper beds and a sofa bed, private bathroom with whirlpool hot tub and glass shower, safe, TV and phone, mini-bar, bathrobes, hairdryer.

A table and 3 patio chairs are on the balcony.

Owners Suite

Owner's Suites are some of the most luxurious accommodations at sea. They usually feature two separate bedrooms, private balcony (with luxury lounge furniture, even dining area and hot tub), living room (with sofa bed), luxury bathroom (with whirlpool bathtub and separate shower), second bathroom (WC), dining room, dressing area. Some Owner's Suites (like NCL's) can accommodate up to 10 passengers when connected to an adjacent Suite.

Ocean Suite

OS stands for "Ocean Suite" and category SS is "Spa Suite", recently changed to Junior Suite. These cabins have: twin beds that convert to king, sitting area with armchair and coffee table, sofa, dressing area with vanity, large balcony, wall safe, 2 big closets, mini-bar, refrigerator, private whirlpool bath with tub and shower, television and phone, balcony lounge chair, patio chair and table, pillow menu, bathrobes, hairdryer.

2-Bedroom Mozart Suite (largest stateroom on a riverboat)

World's largest accommodation found on a riverboat is Riverside Mozart 's French Balcony Suite. The vessel has two such accommodations, each sized 885 ft2 / 82 m2. Must be noted, that the stateroom is combined with an adjacent French Balcony cabin.

Penthouse Suite

Penthouse Suites have a twin beds configuration (beds can convert to queen). The other features are a large balcony, dressing area with vanity, sitting area with armchair and coffee table, wall safe, mini bar, private bath with whirlpool tub and shower, television and phone, refrigerator, bathrobes and hairdryer. Some cabins are without whirlpool tub, sofa or coffee table.

Balcony staterooms

Most balcony cruise ship cabins feature floor-ceiling sliding glass doors leading to a private step-out veranda. The balcony also is furnished with a table and pair of chairs/loungers. Standard balconies are separated by dividers. As sizes, balcony cabins on cruise ships vary, with those on Princess and NCl ships being among the smallest compared to other big-ship lines. In our cruise deck plans, we also list room sizes and the size of the balcony. Balcony – Apart from the balcony they can offer You twin beds that can be converted to King-size bed. Balconies also provide sitting area with chair and coffee table and private bath with shower, as well as closet/wardrobe, electronic safe box, mini bar, television and phone, sofa, bathrobes, hairdryer. Most verandas are between 30-60 ft2 ( approx 3-6 m2). Below are shown the layouts of the Anthem ship's Deluxe and Accessible balcony cabins.

Premium Balcony

Premium Balcony cabins also have twin beds that convert to King-size, their wraparound balcony enfolds the stateroom. Balcony's windows are often floor-ceiling and wall-to-wall.

Cove Balcony Staterooms

Cove balconies, unlike Balconies, have two patio chairs and a table. The rest of the stuff is identical. First of all-balcony, and again twin beds that convert to king, sofa, private bath with shower, safe, closet, mini bar, television and phone, sitting area with chair and coffee table, bathrobes and hairdryer.

Cove Balcony rooms are CCL-Carnival's specialty, available on some of the "Fun Ships", and are interesting because they are located on lower decks (thus closer to waterline).

Oceanview staterooms

Oceanview cabins: as sizes are similar to Interior staterooms on cruise ships, but each of them has a Porthole or normal window (both types do not open). Their window sizes also vary by line and ship. On some ocean ships and some luxury river ships, such staterooms feature floor-ceiling windows. Oceanview rooms' window sizes are usually 4x3 ft (1,2x0,9 m). As furniture, Oceanview cruise cabins have twin beds that convert to King-size, sofa, TV and phone, sitting area, safe, mini bar, private bath with shower, and also a washroom with sink and a junior tub, bathrobes and a hairdryer and of course a picture window. You should take a look at the cruise ship deck plans again as Cabins of 5A category have two porthole windows. Unlike deluxe, there is no washroom with sink and junior tub. Below are the layouts of Ovation of the Seas Oceanview cabins (categories standard, large, and superior).

Deluxe Oceanview

These cabins have no balconies but still can offer a marvelous view through their picture window as well as twin beds that convert to King-size. However, beds in Category 6N can't be joined (to King) and sleeps max 5 people.

Other amenities include sofabed, TV, phone, seating, safe, mini-bar, a bathroom with shower, a washroom (with junior tub), bathrobes, hairdryer.

Scenic Oceanview

The interior is the same - twin beds convertible to King-size, picture window, sofa, TV, phone, seating, safe, mini-bar, bath with shower, washroom with sink and junior tub, bathrobes, hairdryer.

The difference is that Scenic Oceanviews are larger.

Inside staterooms

Inside cruise ship cabins' best feature is their price - you book them with the line's cheapest rates available. These cruise accommodations don't offer window views. Still, on some of the newest cruise ships of Royal Caribbean and Disney, there are categories Interior staterooms with a "virtual window", which is a large LED screen displaying outside cam views. The screen doesn't have TV functions.

On some Carnival ships, there are Inside cabins with a "French Balcony" (with opening glass doors). Also, some "interior staterooms" are actually Oceanview (with a non-opening window), but since their views are obstructed, they are booked as Interior. On Royal Caribbean ships, some Inside cabins have a window looking out to the ship's interior promenade (street)

Inside cruise cabins are fitted with twin beds (convertible to King or Queen), private bathroom (shower), sitting area. Next are shown the layouts of Interior rooms on Harmony OTS .

Small Interior Stateroom (as the name implies) is the least spacious standard cabin category on cruise ships. These cabins have two beds – (upper and lower), private bath (WC/shower), a small sitting area.

Single cabins (Studios)

Single occupancy staterooms could be either Inside or Balcony. Some river cruise lines even offer single suites (booking with single occupancy rates). The most famous liner having plenty of single cabins (designed specifically for solo travelers) is Norwegian Epic .

This huge vessel has a total of 128 "Studios".

Next are shown layouts of Quantum OTS single-occupancy cabins (balcony and interior).

Connecting cabins (for large families)

The next layout shows RCI's "Family Connected Junior Suite" plan ( Quantum OTS ). Ship's main cabin grades (Balcony, Oceanview, Inside) are all combined here into a 10-person "Family Suite". The layout also shows the exact positioning of furniture, 3 baths (1 with hot tub), large seating area, 2 double-sofabeds, 2 connecting balconies.

How to choose cabins on cruise ships?

If you are planning a cruise, booking a cabin is certainly as important as picking up the cruise line (brand) or the boat. Before you take that decision, consider some issues related to your own personality and the other people traveling with you.

  • The first important thing you have to be honest with your conscious is whether you can get seasick .
  • Secondly, what type of person you are and what exactly do you intend to do onboard? Are you a party type or you just would like to spend several calm days at sea, away from the office jungle on land. Would you enjoy the pool with its all opportunities for contacts or you would rather have a rest lying at a balcony?
  • No matter the stateroom type, it could still be noisy or make you seasick. The more central and lower position your cabin has, the more stable it is.
  • In case you and the rest of the family members / friends are thin or you just don't intend to spend too much time in the cabin, you can pick a small one. Usually, staterooms are able to house no more than 4 people. Two passengers pay full fares and the other receive discounted rates.
  • If you need stateroom for 4+ passengers, connecting cabins are the best option, and it will cost you less than a suite. Bathtub-fitted cabins are not so many per vessel. All cruise deck plans show such information (bathtub, sofabed, double bed, bunk beds, etc).

Noise issues - which cabins on the ship to avoid?

If you are a party type and louder sounds are not bothering, everything would be OK. If you organize a family voyage, however, you should look for a cabin away from the noisiest areas in the cruise ship deck plans. The first thing to look for in the cruise ship plan is the engine room location. Along with the noises, there are also vibrations.

Staterooms under discos, sport playgrounds, gym centers are usually very noisy. Cabins under Lido Deck (aka Pool Deck) are also among those to avoid. The buffet restaurant on this deck generates noises from moving tables and chairs and tableware. Staircases are also very noisy.

Take a good look at the cruise ship deck plan - room location is crucial!

Cabin's deck location is of great importance. Lower and more central-positioned accommodations are more stable. However, "cool cabins" are usually on higher decks, which means spending more money won't necessarily save you from seasickness.

Stern cabins (aft) have the largest balconies. Forward suites provide the same view as from the Navigation Bridge (wheelhouse). Some cabins are with limited / obstructed seaview due to lifeboats or other equipment.

Guarantee staterooms - take your chance!

If you are not set on selecting something particular and location is not a priority, you should not investigate the cruise ship deck plan so cautiously. The so-called ''guarantee'' cabin grades can turn to be among the best booking options. The "guarantee stateroom" booking allows you to pick up a category, not a cabin. In case the category is sold out you'll be proposed a higher category lodging. The first cabins to be booked are both the cheapest and the most expensive ones, be aware when you choose to test your luck. However, it could be a bit risky so it's more reasonable to get back to the cruise ship deck plans.

Shipboard facilities

If want to cruise with your children you'd better book a stateroom close to kids entertainment facilities. Cruise ship deck plans can once again help you to choose from the many opportunities created to meet passengers' requirements. Spa cabins are recently available for instance. Passengers get free access to the steam room and other connected facilities. These cabins are of course close to the SPA and you can move between in your bathrobe only.

NCL's The Haven and MSC's Yacht Club accommodations are located within an exclusive complex and offer ''ship within ship'' amenities and services. Passengers (who can afford them) enjoy private sundecks with swimming pools and jacuzzis and exclusive facilities like restaurants, bar lounges, gyms and spas.

Prefabricated cruise ship cabin

On May 24, 2016, a new "Lightweight Composite Cabin" design was unveiled in Southampton, England. The innovation was funded by the UK Government. Involved in the cabin's designing, engineering, manufacturing and furbishing were the companies Carnival UK ( Carnival Corporation 's subsidiary), Gurit Ltd (global composite materials supplier), Lloyd's Register Group Ltd (technical / business services, maritime classification company), PE Composites Ltd (composite designer / manufacturer), Trimline Ltd (marine interior refurbishment specialist) and the University of Southampton.

The new modular cabin prototype is half the weight of a typical cruise room. It also fully complies with the FTP Code's requirements (International Code for the Application of Fire Test Procedures). Reducing the ship's topdecks weight is an important issue for naval architects as the trend for building large-capacity cruise vessels continues. The new (prefabricated) module's halved weight opens up opportunities for adding more passenger rooms to newbuild ships, without adding to the ship's DWT weight.

Note: The following list of cruise lines cabins (per ship) includes only CruiseMapper's largest companies' fleets and only ocean-going vessels. For all other vessels (including small-fleet shipping companies , cruiseferries and riverboats ) use the search box at page top .

The Difference Between Stateroom Types, Categories & Guarantees: Demystifying the Stateroom Selection

When booking a cruise you'll inevitably have to decide what type of cabin (aka stateroom) you want.  What's the difference between an inside and an ocean view?  What are all these numbers? G1, B13? Are we playing bingo or going on vacation?  It can be confusing, but it's important to really understand the differences, at least conceptually, so that you not only book the right room for you, but recognize value and see through some promotional gimmicks.  We'll look at the differences between stateroom types  and  categories  and explain other things you'll run into, like guarantee rooms.

Stateroom Types

We'll start here because well, this one is easy.  Stateroom types are the top of the chart if you're thinking about different staterooms hierarchically (a word which, pronouncing correctly may be a deciding factor in future CruiseHabit giveaways).  There are four basic stateroom types (and of course, some outliers).  

Inside Staterooms

Yes, all staterooms are indoors, but this term refers to rooms which don't have a window or balcony (at least, they don't have a window or balcony facing the ocean - more on that later).  More often than not these types of rooms are the cheapest - but don't assume, as we've seen some cases where other categories are cheaper when supply and demand dictate such.  Often inside rooms have mirrors  and extra lights to keep you from feeling too closed in.  In recent years, Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Lines have introduced inside rooms with "virtual" portholes or balconies, which use large screens to display real-time views of the outside.  Several lines also have a selection of inside rooms which have port holes or windows facing interior sections of the ship.  Some inside rooms have the bed facing the door, while others have the bed sideways.

Ocean View Staterooms

These rooms (sometimes called "outside rooms") have some sort of window which looks out to the ocean.  Depending on the ship, deck, and other factors this could be a small porthole or two, a large window, or even a floor-to-ceiling window.  Similar to the different layouts of inside rooms, they may have the window(s) behind the beds or next to them - layouts vary.

Verandah Staterooms 

Call them what you will - verandahs, verandas, or balconies - these are the most common and popular rooms on modern ships.  It wasn't long ago that, for a number of reasons (some of which you can read about here ), a cruise ship might have only a handful of balconies, all located high on the ship.  Now, on some ships, over 95% of the rooms have balconies, and you'd have to work pretty hard to find anyone complaining about this.  Having a balcony gives you the option of enjoying some private deck space at any time, along with great views even when the doors are closed.  You could even use a GoPro to capture great sail-away videos using the proper mount .  Royal Caribbean's Oasis class ships have some verandah rooms that have outdoor balconies, but which don't face the ocean.  These "Neighborhood Verandahs" are unique, and if you're okay with not facing the ocean, can be a neat option.

Do you like painting with a broad brush?  Great - because the last room type we're covering is suites.  This can mean a lot of different things.  On modern ships suites pretty much always feature an ocean-facing balcony (we're sure we'll end up updating this with some exception - and RCI's Freedom Class "Sweets" don't count).  Suites can be similar to but slightly larger than verandah rooms, or they could be palatial multi-story areas with separate entranceways, multiple bedrooms, their own pianos, etc.  In addition to some extra space, suites often come with perks like exclusive lounges and restaurants, butler service, and many things which may cost other guests extra.  How do you differentiate the different types of suites?  I'm so glad you asked - keep reading to find out.

Stateroom Categories

Discussing categories is important because many people confuse categories with types.  We mentioned above that there are four main stateroom types, but there can be dozens of categories even though so many rooms are so similar.  If you look on deck plans, or at the options when booking a cruise, categories are usually expressed as a letter-number combination, like A12, or V4 - it varies by cruise line.  There are some good reasons for this wide variety of options though, so let's review. 

Imagine you're looking to book a verandah stateroom you may find the best price on a beautiful room and then find that it's really far forward (that's the front of the ship), and as such, may be a bit of a walk to some areas.  It's quite possible that the exact same shape, size, and style of room is available down the hall but more mid-ship, though at a higher cost.  These two rooms are the same stateroom type, but different categories.  You might also find that the rooms directly above or below these rooms are different categories, as often, the higher deck on which you find a room, the higher the category.  This can be important to think about if you're worried about seasickness, as we explain here , rooms midship and on a lower deck can be helpful.  Also consider if you want to consistently walk through a long corridoor each time you come or go.

cruise stateroom views

The view you have can impact the stateroom category as well.  One of the most common reasons you'll find "lower category" rooms classified as such is because of what lines refer to as "obstructed views".  An ocean view room that has an unobstructed view of the water is usually in a higher category than a similar rooms which has it's view obstructed by a lifeboat or other equipment.  Obstructions could be directly in front of a window (or balcony) or off to the side, above, or below it.

Size & Shape

Not surprisingly, the size and shape of rooms can help determine their category.  Until you get into suites, the sizes will remain somewhat similar, but even an extra 20 square feet can be nice, as can certain layouts which allow for a bit more useful area vs dead space.

Window or Verandah Type

We previously mentioned that the exact type and number of windows which an ocean view stateroom has can vary, and this is true of verandah rooms as well.  You'll find rooms with larger windows to be different categories than those with smaller portholes.  The area below railings on some verandahs are glass, providing superior views, while others may have metal horizontal sections or be completely flat metal.  On some ships, there may be rather unconventional windows or doors, like those found in Infinite Verandah staterooms on Celebrity Edge series ships.

Over the past few years some lines have created staterooms which may or may not be considered suites, may in fact be similar or identical to other verandah rooms, but which have some sort of perks.  A common example are rooms which allow free access to otherwise costly areas of the ship's spa.

"Weird Rooms"

You may have already guessed, but this is not a technical term - we'll call it a CruiseHabit term.  While many rooms on ships are nearly identical (in fact, they're modular), there are some rooms which are outliers based on engineering constraints and other factors.  Rooms all the way forward often feature angled walls with different layouts.  Verandah rooms at the aft are frequently sought after for fantastic views from their sometimes much longer balconies.  Other rooms are just plane different in the shape, such as rooms on the corner of ships.  In fact, these rooms often different because of multiple factors, such as size, shape, window type, and location, and more.

Okay, but what are guarantee rooms? 

You may or may not have the option of booking a guarantee - and generally this is a guarantee within a type.  For example, an "Ocean View Guarantee" is a booking which means you won't pick your exact stateroom, but you're guaranteed to be assigned an ocean view room or better.  Some guests hear this and book a guarantee with a hope of an upgrade - and while that can happen, it's rare and you shouldn't bet on this.  Guarantees are usually priced quite a bit lower than a stateroom which you chose yourself, and they're a way for cruise lines to ensure they fill space while still charging other guests a premium for picking the room of their choice. 

It's critical to remember that you're surrendering your choice to the cruise line - so if you book a guarantee and you're assigned a room far from where you'd like, or with an obstructed view, etc, you generally can't do anything about it (though if space is available, you  may  be able to get a random different room of the same type.  If you're okay with this risk, booking a guarantee can be a great way to save some money.  

Watch Out For This 'Upgrade' Sales Technique

Now that you understand how cruise lines establish stateroom types and categories, you should also better understand a sales technique that is used quite often by many lines: the free upgrade.  Sounds great, right?  It can be - but don't get too excited.  These upgrades are usually for a category or two within the same type.  Usually, a line will offer a deal on a sailing where, for example, they'll offer the second lowest category for the same price as the lowest category.  Other times, for certain loyalty programs, guests will receive pricing for a room that is actually the price of the category below the room being priced.

This isn't a scam - it can be a nice perk, but don't get excited when you hear you're getting an upgrade thinking you're going from an inside to an ocean view.  You're likely going from an inside to a slightly nicer inside stateroom or an inside stateroom on deck two to an inside stateroom on deck five.

Final Statement on Staterooms

Ships today have many different stateroom categories, but if your new the to cruise game, it's the stateroom types you should focus on - but no matter what you do, don't put too much importance into picking a cabin.  While it's very subjective, we find nice staterooms nice to have, but not necessary - we just don't spend that much time in out stateroom, even when we have a particularly nice one.  If we can score a better stateroom (category or type) for a small price, then great - but often we're willing to take a more humble room and keep the savings for another cruise.  At the same time, we're frequent cruisers - so if you're looking at a once in a lifetime (or maybe just every few years) trip, then treat yourself with an ocean-facing balcony or even a suite.  The choice is yours.

Choosing your cruise ship cabin or stateroom is an essential part of planning a dream cruise vacation. The right accommodation can enhance your cruise experience, providing you with a comfortable retreat after a day of adventure, but some choices may turn out to be an expensive mistake.

Here’s how to select the best cruise ship cabin for your needs, whether you're seeking breathtaking views, peace and quiet, convenience, or the best value.

Cruise Ship Cabin Grades

From motel-sized inside cabins to luxurious suites that rival the most expensive land-based hotels, cruise ships offer a range of accommodation grades to suit all preferences and budgets:

Interior Cabins : The most budget-friendly option, these cabins are located inside the ship and have no windows. Although they are often just as spacious as oceanview cabins, the lack of natural light may be off-putting to some.

Oceanview Cabins : Offering a window or porthole, these cabins provide natural light and views of the ocean or ports, a good middle-ground option. On modern ships, such cabins will likely be located towards the bottom of the ship, as balcony cabins now dominate ship exteriors.

Balcony Cabins : These cabins feature private balconies allowing direct access to ocean breezes and private views. These cabins are perfect for those who prefer to enjoy the scenery privately.

The newest, largest cruise ships such as Royal Caribbean's 'Icon of the Seas' offer a huge range of ... [+] cabin grades and locations.

Suites : The most spacious and luxurious option, suites often come with extra amenities and services, ideal for travelers looking for a premium experience. Separate bedrooms, wraparound balconies, and even butler service are some common features of cruise ship suites.

Pioneered by Norwegian Cruise Line, solo traveler cabins are becoming more common across the industry. Whereas for many years solo cabins were usually interior grade, there are now oceanview and even balcony cabins available for solo travelers on some lines.

Consider The Location

Perhaps more so than the accommodation grade, the cabin location can significantly impact your cruise experience.

Top-to-bottom : Cabins on lower decks are usually cheaper with the added benefit of experiencing less movement in rough seas.

However, depending on the size of the ship, they could be farther from entertainment and dining areas. On big ships, there may be 10 or even more flights of stairs between your cabin and the pool, sun deck, buffet, and other amenities found at the top of the ship. There will be elevators, of course, but you should expect queues at busy times.

Cabins on higher decks will provide better views from balconies and suites, and good access to many of the ship’s amenities, but passengers may feel the ship's movement more. You may also hear more noise from outdoor activities on the pool deck.

Cabins on middle floors offer the best combination of access to facilities and less movement in the event of rough seas.

Front-to-back : Just as important as the deck number is the cabin’s location between the ship’s front and rear.

Cabins located at the very front and very back of the ship will experience significantly more movement in the event of rough seas, so choose a cabin towards the middle of the ship if you’re facing multiple sea days or sailing off-season.

Inside cabins on the 'P&O Arvia' cruise ship are a good value accommodation option. They can be ... [+] configured with a double or twin beds.

It’s also worth knowing that most cruise ships feature main dining venues at the rear and the main theater at the front.

The Budget Accommodation Choice

When choosing a cabin, start with understanding your budget. Decide how much you’re willing to spend and remember that while the cabin is important, you’ll also want to budget for on-board activities, excursions, beverages, and other expenses.

If budget matters above all else, an interior cabin is a wise choice. You could also save money by booking a saver fare offered by some cruise lines.

These fares typically don't allow you to select your cabin in advance. This will likely result in you being allocated a cabin at the front or back of the ship, but it will save you money.

Questions To Ask Yourself

If you have more flexibility in your budget, consider what’s important to you in accommodation. If you plan to spend a lot of time in your cabin, you might value a balcony or a spacious room more. Families might look for cabins with connecting doors or extra bed options.

Before booking, read reviews of the ship and specific cabins on websites such as Cruise Critic or watching YouTube reviews. Previous travelers can offer invaluable insight into noise levels, views, and overall satisfaction.

Examine the ship’s layout to see where your cabin is in relation to key areas like the lido deck, dining rooms, and entertainment venues. Consider potential noise from above or below your cabin, especially if it’s immediately above or below a dance floor, crew area, or near the pool.

Your cruise itinerary might also influence your choice of accommodation. For scenic cruises, such as those in Alaska or the Norwegian fjords , a balcony might be worth the splurge to enjoy the magnificent views in relative peace. A balcony breakfast while sailing along a fjord will be an experience to remember.

On the other hand, if you plan to spend most of your time exploring ports and partaking in onboard activities, the type and location of cabin might be of less importance.

What Is a Stateroom on a Cruise? Your Question Answered

What Is a Stateroom on a Cruise

Before you dive into the captivating world of cruise vacations, it’s vital to set sail with some handy knowledge about the heart of every cruise ship: the staterooms. Much like how a hotel room can make or break a land-based vacation, a cruise ship cabin plays a pivotal role in ensuring you have the voyage of a lifetime.

From that serene ocean view every morning to the sweet chirping of birds from your private balcony , the choice of stateroom can truly enhance your sea-faring experience. As we embark on this journey, we’ll explore the nuances of different cabins and factors to consider when choosing one and sprinkle in some insider tips to get the best bang for your buck.

What Is a Stateroom on a Cruise Ship?

A stateroom, in simple terms, is your home away from home on a cruise ship . Just as hotels have rooms or suites, cruise ships offer staterooms—essentially, your very own private space while you’re out at sea. Delving a bit into history, the term ‘stateroom’ was first used during the era of luxury transatlantic voyages.

The majestic liners like the Titanic were not just transportation; they were floating palaces! As cruising evolved, so did staterooms. From the basic bunks of yesteryears to the lavish suites with balcony rooms today, staterooms have always been the beating heart of every cruise, ensuring passengers a comfortable, private retreat amidst the vast ocean.

Why Are They Called Staterooms?

Ever wondered why it’s not just simply called a ‘room’ or ‘cabin’? The term “stateroom” harks back to a time when sea voyages were the epitome of luxury and sophistication. Ships were considered state-of-the-art, and a private room was a status symbol, a room that reflected one’s “state” or stature in society.

Hence, the birth of the term “stateroom.” The name has stuck around, and today, most cruise lines use it to evoke a sense of elegance and grandeur. Whether you’re in a cozy interior room or a spacious suite, the term ‘stateroom’ ensures you feel like royalty because, on a cruise, every guest deserves royal treatment.

Different Types of Staterooms

When planning your cruise vacation, your choice of stateroom can significantly influence your experience. From the room’s location to its amenities, each detail contributes to your comfort and overall cruise enjoyment. So, let’s embark on an in-depth journey through the vast choices available on most cruise ships .

Types of Suites on Cruise Ships

Family Suites

Ideal for larger families or groups traveling together, these suites are designed with space and comfort in mind. On Royal Caribbean ships , these family-friendly suites are particularly beneficial as they are tailored to accommodate children, making them a top choice for those traveling with kids. Apart from more extensive living areas, they often feature separate bedrooms and bunk beds. Moreover, their strategic location close to kids’ play areas and family-friendly zones ensures that little ones are always engaged.

Grand Suites

A stay in a Grand Suite is like living in a floating five-star hotel. With enhanced amenities like whirlpool bathtubs, expansive living areas, and a private balcony , they’re perfect for travelers seeking a lavish cruising experience. Some might even offer exclusive room service menus or personalized drink packages .

Owner’s Suites

Stepping into an Owner’s Suite feels like entering a world of sheer opulence. Rich decor, plush furnishings, expansive living and dining areas, and high-end electronics often adorn these suites. Some cruise lines even offer personal butler service for guests in these rooms, ensuring every whim is catered to.

Royal Suites

As the name suggests, these suites are for those who want the royal treatment. Think of it as a penthouse on the sea, complete with high-end amenities, a large private balcony , and often prime locations offering the best views.

Loft Suites

Two levels of luxury. These modern suites feature a lower living area and an upper sleeping space, offering guests a unique and contemporary cruise experience. Loft suites are especially popular among the younger generation, thanks to their chic design and cruise ship designers’ innovative approach.

Choosing a Stateroom on a Cruise Ship

Virtual View Cabins

While interior rooms are budget-friendly, they lack windows. However, technology has bridged this gap. Virtual view cabins use real-time cameras outside the ship, projecting live ocean views onto large screens, making you feel like you’re right by the sea.

Ocean View Cabin

For those who love gazing at the endless blue waters, ocean-view cabins are perfect. These rooms come with either a window or a porthole, allowing you to experience the beauty of the ocean without stepping onto the pool deck . Also, if you’re wondering if underwater rooms are real? Unfortunately, they are not yet a typical feature on cruise ships.

Guarantee Room

Want a good deal and feel a tad adventurous? Opt for a guaranteed room. You pay a discounted rate, and the cruise line chooses your room type and location. It’s like a stateroom lottery!

Balcony Cabin

For many cruisers, having their own private balcony is non-negotiable. Whether it’s the allure of dining al fresco, watching sunrises, or simply enjoying the sea breeze, balcony cabins are perennial favorites.

Private Bar Suites

Imagine returning to your suite after a day of shore excursions and having a fully stocked bar at your disposal. These suites are for those who love their spirits and enjoy the luxury of an in-room bar. But don’t worry, if you don’t get to book a private bar suite, then make sure to get your chosen cruise ship’s drink packages !

Concierge Cabins

Service at its best. These cabins come with a dedicated concierge, ensuring you get priority reservations, exclusive shore excursions, and other perks that make your cruise even more memorable. Celebrity Cruises elevates this experience by offering Concierge Class staterooms, complete with enhanced amenities and personalized service.

How Big Really Are Cruise Ship Staterooms?

When exploring cruise vacations, a common query centers around the dimensions of staterooms. Zooming into specifics, an inside cabin averages 167 square feet (15.7 square meters). Depending on the size of a ship and cruise line, this can fluctuate between 120 ft and a generous 200 ft. Comparing them to hotel rooms can clarify things.

Interior Rooms are similar to standard hotel rooms: cozy and efficient. The catch? They often lack a window. Ocean-view rooms evoke those hotel stays where a serene beach view was the highlight. On a cruise, this beach is continuously evolving as the ship sails.

For a more luxurious touch, Balcony Rooms match up to upscale hotel spaces with the added perk of a balcony. Here, the view isn’t just of the city skyline but an ever-changing ocean horizon. Then we have the Suite , the cruise counterpart to a luxury hotel’s penthouse. Generously spacious and plush, they sometimes encompass multiple rooms for an elevated cruise experience.

Choosing the right stateroom is an essential aspect of your cruise planning process. It’s not just about the size or the view but about ensuring your utmost comfort as you sail the high seas. Happy Cruising! 🚢

Choosing Your Stateroom’s Location

When planning a cruise vacation, selecting the type of stateroom is crucial, but equally important is its location on the ship. Your room’s position can significantly impact your onboard experience.

The ship’s layout varies among cruise lines and vessels, but generally, larger ships are divided into three main sections: fore (front), mid-ship (middle), and aft (back) . Each area offers unique experiences, and your choice should be influenced by your personal preferences.

If you’re prone to motion sickness, your stateroom location can make all the difference. Staterooms located low and centrally on the ship tend to feel the least amount of motion. Pack anti-nausea medication, and consider seasickness patches or wristbands.

Being in the middle not only minimizes motion but also places you at a central point, making it convenient to reach various ship amenities. Every ship has zones that might be noisier than others. Staterooms near entertainment hubs, engines, or underneath busy decks can be louder.

Being near key amenities can save you a lot of walking. However, it might also mean more foot traffic near your room. Avoid those near elevators or directly below the pool deck if you are not comfortable around crowds.

Being close to main dining areas means quicker access to meals and snacks, but might also mean evening noise from late-night diners. While having a stateroom close to fitness and spa facilities might motivate you to maintain your workout regimen, remember these areas can be bustling during peak hours, leading to potential noise.

For families with children , being near kid zones or family lounges can be a boon. It reduces the hassle of transporting tired kids after a day of fun. However, these zones can be noisy during the day. For seniors or those with mobility issues, staterooms close to elevators are a boon. Many cruise lines also offer specially designed accessible staterooms with features to assist those with mobility challenges.

Cabin Amenities & Cabin Upgrades on a Cruise

Cruise vacations have evolved dramatically, with offerings that span beyond just the journey and destinations. The staterooms themselves, often referred to as cabins or cruise rooms, play an essential role in shaping your onboard experience. Different cruise lines offer varied cabin amenities and options for upgrades, ensuring that travelers can customize their stay to their preferences.

For example, Royal Caribbean , known for its innovative ships, offers a unique feature in some of its cabins: the virtual balcony. This gives inside rooms, which typically lack windows, a real-time ocean view. It’s a game-changer for those who crave natural light but may prefer the budget-friendliness of an inside stateroom.

Chairs and tables on a balcony of a ship cabin

Norwegian Cruise Line also presents a solution for solo travelers with its studio cabins, designed specifically for single occupancy , eliminating the single supplement fee. Celebrity Cruises is not far behind, providing oceanview staterooms with spacious outdoor space where guests can bask in the sun, enjoying the serenity of the seas.

Oceanview cabin and balcony room options are among the most sought-after stateroom categories, with the latter offering private outdoor spaces, often equipped with chairs and sometimes even a hot tub.

On the other hand, small cruise ship cabins, often found in the inside cabins category, are cozier and can be more affordable. These interior cabins might be on the lower deck but still offer a comfortable retreat, complete with a private bathroom and other luxurious amenities.

One standout feature of certain cruise lines is the suite guests’ perks. Suite accommodations on ships from lines like Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line come with added benefits like priority boarding, free access to exclusive areas, and even concierge service.

Opting for a royal suite or a balcony stateroom guarantees you an elevated experience, with many offering separate living areas and some even overlooking the ship’s unique attractions like Central Park on some of Royal Caribbean’s ships.

Tips for Saving on Your Cruise Cabin

helpful tips sign with a light bulb

Securing the best deal on a cruise cabin requires a mix of timing, flexibility, and keen research. While we’ve touched upon several facets of stateroom selection, when it comes to cost-saving, here are some additional strategies:

  • Obstructed Cabins : Often, balcony staterooms or oceanview cabins may have a view that is partially blocked by lifeboats or ship structures. These “obstructed view” cabins are typically priced lower than their unobstructed counterparts. If you’re okay with a slightly compromised view, this can be a great way to save.
  • Inside Cabin or Guarantee Cabin : Opting for an “inside cabin” can be significantly cheaper, especially if you plan to spend most of your time exploring the ship or ports. Another option is booking a “guarantee cabin,” where you pay a reduced rate without selecting a specific room. The cruise line chooses the cabin for you, and while there’s a chance you might get a higher category room, there’s no certainty on its location or type.
  • Book Early : Many cruise lines offer “early bird” discounts for those who book their trips well in advance. Not only can this secure you a good deal, but it also gives you a broader selection of available rooms.
  • Last-Minute Deals : On the flip side, if you have flexibility with travel dates and room preferences, booking close to the departure date can sometimes yield impressive discounts. Cruise lines aim to fill their ships, and unsold cabins might get substantial price cuts. However, keep in mind that the best or most desirable rooms might already be taken.
  • Travel During Off-Peak Times : Consider traveling during the shoulder seasons or times when fewer people are cruising. Not only can this get you a better deal on your cabin, but the ship might also be less crowded.
  • Loyalty Programs and Repeat Cruisers : If you’ve sailed with a particular cruise line before, check if they offer discounts or perks for repeat customers. Loyalty programs can offer a range of benefits, including cabin upgrades or onboard credits.
  • Monitor Price Drops and Promotions : After booking, keep an eye on the cruise fares. Some cruise lines might offer a price adjustment if rates drop after you’ve booked but before the final payment. Additionally, look out for value-added promotions, which might include onboard credits, drink packages, or even free shore excursions.

Choosing the right stateroom is akin to setting the stage for a memorable cruise experience. It’s not just about the room; it’s about the journey, the views, and how they align with your personal comforts and desires. Whether you prioritize a sweeping ocean view, proximity to amenities, or the tranquil retreat of a quiet corner, your choice can significantly influence your trip.

What is the difference between a balcony and a stateroom?

A stateroom is a general term for any cabin or room on a cruise ship. It’s where passengers stay, much like a hotel room. Within the category of staterooms, there are different types, including inside, oceanview, and balcony rooms. A balcony stateroom, specifically, is a type of room that comes with a private outdoor space, allowing guests to step out and enjoy sea views, fresh air, and privacy.

What is included in a cruise stateroom?

A cruise stateroom typically includes comfortable beds which can often be separated or combined based on preference, a private bathroom, storage space for clothes and luggage, a television, and a phone. Depending on the stateroom category, it may also feature windows or portholes (for oceanview cabins), private balconies (for balcony cabins), or additional luxurious amenities and services (for suites). Basic daily housekeeping is also a standard inclusion.

What is a suite stateroom on a cruise ship?

A suite stateroom on a cruise ship signifies a more luxurious and spacious accommodation. These often come with separate living and sleeping areas, enhanced amenities like premium bedding, larger bathrooms, sometimes even bathtubs, and often priority services such as express boarding and exclusive lounge access. Some suites may also boast large balconies, butler service, or even private hot tubs, depending on the cruise line and ship.

What are the three types of staterooms?

The three fundamental types of staterooms on most cruise ships are: Inside staterooms, which lack windows and are typically the most budget-friendly; Oceanview staterooms, which have a window or porthole giving passengers a view of the ocean; and Balcony staterooms, which come with a private outdoor space allowing guests to enjoy direct sea views.

Disney Fantasy Staterooms

cruise stateroom views

I've stayed in 3 types of rooms on cruises, and the cheapest was never worth it. Here's what to book instead.

  • I'm a frequent cruise traveler who's stayed in a variety of onboard accommodations.
  • The least expensive rooms have no view and are usually cramped, especially if shared by a family.
  • Splurging on a higher-category cabin on my last cruise was the best decision I made.

Automatically booking the cheapest room on a cruise ship without doing proper research first can ruin a trip. 

As someone who's been going on cruises for over 10 years, I've learned that the price tag for these vacations can vary based on a number of factors — from cruise line to trip duration to room category.

Staying in the most standard-level cabin seems like an obvious way to keep costs down. But after trying out three different room categories, both with and without my kids, I've found that a ship's least expensive option is almost never worth it.

Based on my experience in three different cruise-room categories, here are the ones I recommend skipping and the ones I recommend splurging on.

Interior staterooms are limited in space and privacy

The standard (and least expensive) room on any cruise ship is typically called an inside or interior stateroom.

These cabins often sleep three to four people and are located in the middle of the ship, with no exterior view of the vessel's surroundings. 

I've stayed in interior staterooms on a Carnival Cruise Line ship and a Disney Cruise Line ship . Aside from different decor styles and a few small touches, this room category is fairly standard across the board. 

When I'm on a cruise, I like to wake up and open my curtains to look at the ocean or the port where the ship is docked , which isn't an option in these inward-looking cabins.

Apart from having no view, interior staterooms are very small. The exact square footage varies but, for reference, the Disn ey Fantasy cruise ship's interior stateroom is 169 square feet and a Royal Caribbean ship's version is around the same size at 164 square feet .

To put those numbers into perspective, standard hotel rooms in the US are, on average, around 330 square feet , almost double the size of the entry-level cruise accommodation.

I want to be able to maneuver around without tripping over luggage, accent furniture, or my own family members. And because of the lack of space in interior staterooms, that's a challenge.

This category is definitely the most economical option, making it ideal for travelers on a budget .

However, if families, especially ones traveling with teens, can swing an alternative, they should steer clear of cramming into an interior stateroom and opt for a category with more space and privacy.

Ocean-view staterooms provide slightly more space but can still feel cramped

The next category up is usually an ocean-view stateroom.

With an outward-facing window, ocean-view staterooms are a solid mid-tier option for travelers who want more space than an interior stateroom offers but don't want to spend extra for a balcony room.

Their exact size and capacity range from ship to ship, but Disney Fantasy's ocean-view staterooms are 204 square feet , and Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas' version is 179 square feet .

Many of these accommodations fit up to five people. If you have more than four family members (yes, infants who are six months and older are part of the headcount), making the jump from an interior stateroom to an ocean-view stateroom is absolutely worth the extra money.

Some cruise lines sell ocean-view rooms as the entry-level category for families of five or more travelers , simply because many interior staterooms can only accommodate a maximum of four guests.

My top pick is balcony staterooms, which offer privacy and plenty of space 

Balcony staterooms, also known as veranda staterooms, are usually the largest accommodation option you can get without concierge service or extras.

I recommend this category to all travelers setting sail in the future for one reason: the private balcony.

You can open your curtains and enjoy the sights outside, similar to the experience of staying in an ocean-view stateroom. But in this room type, you can step out onto a balcony and take in the sounds and smells, too. 

The rooms' sizes and capacities depend on the ship, but balcony staterooms are usually larger than ocean-view staterooms and tend to sleep up to five guests . Even if the rooms' living spaces aren't substantially bigger, they have the added space of the veranda. 

Including the terrace, balcony staterooms on the Disney Fantasy are 246 square feet and are between 214 square feet to 279 square feet on Princess Cruises' fleet.

When my family stayed in a balcony stateroom on a seven-night cruise, we made great use of the outdoor space. On a shorter cruise, where the balcony itself might not get as much use, I would still book this category for my family.

The upgrade was completely worth the price increase, especially because we were traveling with two sets of grandparents .

To make the most of the balcony staterooms, we even turned our individual verandas into one large terrace by having our steward remove the partitions between rooms.

I recently went on a seven-night cruise with my family, and upgrading our accommodation was the best decision of the trip. Sarah Gilliland
