"Stateroom" or "Cabin"?

[NorCalCruiseGuy]

Which term do you use, and why?

[C 2 C]

It depends whether I'm going steerage in an inside cabin or splurging in my CC stateroom.

[MEcruzr]

For me, it depends on who I'm talking to. I'll say cabin to my "cabin mates" but when I'm at the Guest Relations counter I'll say stateroom. I don't know why, I think it's because the ship's people call them staterooms, but to me they're cabins. Never thought about it much before. lol

As one of the comedians on board said, "They call it a cabin because of the size - cabin is short for cabinet".

I use "cabin", "stateroom" or "room"......it simply depends on what pops into my head and then out of the mouth! I also use "attendant" or "steward" attached to any of the above, as well, and for the same reason. I am getting old....my memory isn't always consistent!!:D:D:D

[richsea]

I may either, but I usually type "cabin" because it's shorter!

[flag fan]

I use "cabin" usually. Its more nautical and "stateroom" sounds a little pretentious or like a marketing ploy (as opposed to just "room," which I sometimes use).

Frankly I use both in different situations. I also use "room" alot, especially if I am somewhere else on the ship and I will say to DH, "hey I am going back to the room for a nap";)
