What is on deck 0 on a cruise ship?

1. The “I-95” is everything. While the “I-95” is one of the busiest highways in America, it's also a specific hallway on every cruise ship. The “I-95” — as it's really called — is located on deck 0, and it's where workers spend their days running beneath your feet.

Midship staterooms on the lowest passenger deck are the most excellent spot to be on a cruise ship in this instance because you don't feel the vessel sway as much.

Pros of Deck 1 So if motion sickness is one of your main barriers to going on a cruise, you may be in luck if you book a stateroom on deck 1. What's more, being so close to the waterline, you'll also have a great view of the ocean and have a better chance of spotting sea life from your cabin location.

MORE DETAILS

On some cruise ships, Deck 1 would be underneath the water. On others, where Deck 1 is the lowest-accessible passenger deck but there are crew decks below that, Deck 1 could be above the waterline. It varies for each ship depending on the draft and the number of decks needed for the crew.

MORE DETAILS

Deck 1 is not the best location for most people – it is generally better to get a cabin higher up the ship if you can, away from the engine noise and with a much better view. But it isn't a 'bad' location, and it has its advantages.

Rear-facing balcony cabins are among the best balcony cabins on any ship. Often, their balconies are bigger than balconies on side-facing cabins and they also feel quiet. There are far fewer balcony cabins at the back of a ship than on the sides of a ship, so you don't hear a lot of noise from your neighbors.

Cruise ship balcony cabins are the most popular cabin category. So many travelers choose this type of cruise ship cabin that some ships put private verandas on all of their outside cabins.

MORE DETAILS

The back of the ship tends to be considered the next best cabin position after midships. Whilst the front of the ship gets the most movement the back also does get some. Whilst it's nowhere near as bad as the front of the ship, you may still notice some movement in rough seas.

Lower Decks This is because this part of the ship, its lowest and most central area, is the most stable during rough sea conditions. A central cabin on one of the lower decks is the best place you can be when you're feeling nauseous. Note that these cabins can feel a bit claustrophobic, though.

You want to be as close to the pivot point as possible to feel the least movement. Avoid cabins near the front (bow) or back (stern) and on decks higher than the middle deck of the ship. So, on a ship with fourteen passenger decks, your best options are below deck seven.

MORE DETAILS

The lower and more central you are in a ship, the less roll and sway you will feel. Even if you choose a balcony room, choose a low level and a room closest to the ship's center. The higher decks and cabins at the front (forward) or back (aft) of the ship will rock and roll the most.

MORE DETAILS

Cabins at the Front of the Ship This is because the front of the ship is more exposed to the movement of the water as they plough through the rough seas. If you're prone to seasickness, it's best to avoid cabins at the front of the ship.

MORE DETAILS

Many ships do not have a deck 13 due to superstition surrounding the number. These ships will simply skip from deck 12 straight to 14.

MORE DETAILS

The forward is subject to the most movement out of anywhere on a ship. And the higher the deck, the more pronounced that rolling and swaying motion tends to feel. Movement at the aft is a bit less drastic than the forward, but still isn't the most stable place for those who are prone to seasickness.

MORE DETAILS

There's no Deck 13; seafarers are a superstitious crowd and the number is considered unlucky.

MORE DETAILS

Most people avoid Deck 3 on a cruise ship when they can – the rooms will either be Inside or Oceanview only, and they can be smaller and in a noisier part of the ship. They're also the furthest from the pools and other outdoor facilities. However, some people do enjoy the seclusion of Deck 3.
