Mar 2nd, 2017: First Cruise Ship

[xoxoxoBruce]

The stateroom in my link is called the "sleeping cabin".

Googling brings...

A state room in a large European mansion is usually one of a suite of very grand rooms which were designed to impress. The term was most widely used in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Your room on a cruise ship is called a cabin (or stateroom) and is akin to a hotel room, but typically much smaller. Choosing a cruise ship cabin can be fun and challenging at the same time, and not just a little bit frustrating on occasion.

On board a ship, the term state room defines a superior first-class cabin.

In the United States, riverboat passenger rooms were often named after a state, e.g., Alabama, Florida.

Queen Mary, 7 nights, Southampton to NY, Aug 31st, Int Cabin $1500 Suite $5000
Queen Mary, 7 nights. NY to Southampton, Oct 20th, Int Cabin $1000 suite $4000 (Oct can get nasty on the North Atlantic)
That's doable, however airfare is cheaper even with 6 nights accommodation at the other end.

But cruises are a whole different animal, the sky's the limit on that shit.
