CarpeDiem2 Posted March 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2011 We just received our cruise docs. The passenger decks seem to have several large areas of space (white) with no specifications as to their use. There are some interior cabins, a concierge lounge, elevators, and stairs. Then there are large areas of white space. What is this mystery space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKS Posted March 30, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 30, 2011 It's space available to crew only - storage, service areas, ventilation & mechanical areas, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plumbing, wiring, storage, etc. Some of the larger areas are where the crew sleep and recreate. Every deck plan that I have ever seen has those void spaces on them (and I collect deck plans). As an example, this is a section of the Plaza Deck on the Celebrity Solstice. The mysterious "white areas" are very similar to those of Marina. Of course, less deluxe ships have more inside accommodations, so that may be what you thought that you would see. Or, perhaps you were thinking of blueprints.

My frame of reference is of less deluxe ships and therefore more inside accommodations. We are first time cruisers on Oceania and the Marina, so this is all "new" to us. I must say that from what I have read here in CC, and specifically your posts, we will not be disappointed. Thanks for the information and examples. I'm counting the days and hours until we can board this beautiful ship. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
