Cruise Ship Cabin Factory

Did you know that the cabin on your next (or last) cruise is a prefab? That in all likelihood, your cruise ship cabin was completely designed and built off-site -- and then trucked, intact, to a shipyard where it was slotted into place as if a piece of a jigsaw puzzle?

If you've ever cruised on Royal Caribbean's Radiance-, Voyager- or Freedom-class ships in anything but a huge suite, you've stayed in one of these prefabs. Same goes for a variety of other vessels, such as Costa Atlantica and Costa Mediterranea, Carnival's Spirit class (which also includes Carnival Legend, Carnival Pride and Carnival Miracle), and cruise ferries like Tallink's Galaxy and Color Line's Fantasy.

This is new to me too but it makes sense they would do it like this.

Now I know why all the cruise ships I've been on tend to blend together in my mind into one big Monster Ship - they all look alike because they *are* all alike!

A cruise ship is just a floating hotel and since this is the way most hotel rooms are done it only makes sense to do the same for cruise ships.

Very interesting - I never dreamed there even was such a trade as making cruise liner cabins!
