Cabins: Suites and Deluxe Grades
This score reflects the design and layout of all grades of suites and deluxe grade cabins, private balconies (whether full floor-to-ceiling partition or part partitions, balcony lighting, balcony furniture).
Also beds/berths, furniture (its placement and practicality), cabinetry, and other fittings; closets and other hanging space, drawer space, and bedside tables; vanity unit, bathroom facilities, washbasin, cabinets, and toiletries storage; lighting, air-conditioning, and ventilation; audiovisual facilities; quality and degree of luxury; artwork; bulkhead insulation, noise, and vibration levels.
Suites should not be so designated unless the sleeping room is completely separate from the living area.
Some large cruise ships now have whole decks devoted to superior grade accommodation, with a significant difference between this accommodation and that of “standard” cabins.
Also the soft furnishings and details such as the information manual (list of services); paper and postcards (including personalised stationery); telephone directory; laundry lists; tea- and coffee-making equipment; flowers (if any); fruit (if any); bathroom personal amenities kits, bathrobes, slippers, and the size, thickness, quality, and material content of towels.
