#23: Living in Closed Quarters
The sleeping quarters of crew members on cruise ships often contrast the luxurious cabins enjoyed by passengers. These quarters are typically compact, functional spaces with shared accommodations. Crew members often bunk in rather small rooms with limited personal space, sometimes even sharing with several colleagues in shifts.
The hierarchy of positions aboard determines the quality of these accommodations, with higher-ranking staff having more comfortable living conditions. Crew members’ living quarters are primarily designed for rest and recuperation, providing a place to recharge before their next shift. Luckily, they have other rest and relaxation facilities, such as the bar or pool area.
