quote:Originally posted by Weaver1:Can anyone tell me about the smallest cruise ship staterooms? I recently went on RCCI Monarch of the Seas and had a 117 sq ft. interior stateroom. Has anyone had a smaller room than that? I heard the QE2 has an 82 sq. ft. interior stateroom. What ships currently have the smallest? The room was so small I put my foot into my wifes nylon hose by mistake while dressing.
Good question!
Without a doubt, the Sovereign Class ships are in the running for the smallest *standard* cabins sailing today. They are TINY. Not many other cruise ships have horizontal hallways across the width of the ship with seven inside cabins across.
I'm one of the people who does like to spend some time in my cabin during a cruise, so I find those boxes a little too confining.
I've sailed in very small upper/lower berth cabins on older ships like NORWAY and QE2, but for some reason they don't feel as confining as the pre-fab boxes on ships like Sovereign Class.

The NORWAY had/has some inside upper & lower berth cabins measuring 70 square feet.

I remember they had bunk beds and a tiny bathroom. There must have been a shower in there, but I don't remember seeing it. Maybe one dresser and a chair.

Yes, those are small cabins! I've sailed on both SUN PRINCESS and SOUTHWARD and I agree they don't get much smaller .... and all that Formica! At least when those ships were built small cabins were the norm. It's just not acceptable anymore.
NORWEGIAN MAJESTY also has very small cabins, as does NORWEGIAN SEA.
My inside Main Deck cabin on Rotterdam V was tiny, but had plenty of storage and even a towel warmer in the bathroom.
As for today's fleets: Norwegian Sea; Sovereign class; SS Norway (although she has some wonderfully unique designs - many bathrooms are bigger than the actual cabin space); Norwegian Majesty; SS Monterey (the original Matson upper/lower insides AND the original Boat Desk singles - now doubles); and Norwegian Dream & Wind.
