Where is deck 3 on a cruise ship?

Where is Deck 3 on a cruise ship? Cruise ships number their decks ascending from the bottom of the ship, so Deck 3 is the third-lowest deck on the ship. This usually puts it around the waterline, or just above. It's often the lowest accessible deck on a cruise ship for passengers.

Even at deck 2, oceanview cabins are above the water line.

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.

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.

Eastbound cruises get the most sun on the port side; westbound on the starboard side. Watching a sunset over the ocean or seeing the sun slip behind distant islands can also be a reason for a side preference. To catch sunsets, you'll want to be on the port side on northbound cruises and starboard on southbound cruises.

Deck 1 is usually the lowest deck on the ship. Some cruise ships have decks lower than deck 1 for the crew and label them with letters instead (deck A, deck B, deck C, etc.). For some cruise lines, it is the lowest available deck to passengers, sometimes containing cabins available for passengers to book.

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

Lower Decks In addition to picking a midship stateroom, which are usually spread out across several levels, it's also a good idea to opt for one that's below the water level. This is because this part of the ship, its lowest and most central area, is the most stable during rough sea conditions.

To reduce motion sickness, choose a stateroom in the middle of the ship on a lower deck. You will feel any sway of the ship less in this section. Although it may seem counterintuitive, if you're worried about seasickness on a cruise, book a stateroom with a window or a veranda.
