[@tanya5322]

That’s kinda what I was thinking. I’ve never been in the military, but a relative once gave us a tour of the aircraft carrier he was assigned to, including his sleeping quarters. I’m trying to remember if there were only two, or perhaps three bunks and I don’t remember a (relatively) private bathroom. And he was an officer and pilot.

[@doitynoid2790]

People in prison as well haha

[@supertris1174]

​@@tanya5322 I've been in 10 the navy for 10 years. Generally it's 2 bunks for officers with two large lockers and a sink, and the important people get a room to them selves, crew is Generally is large rooms with bunk beds in a triple coffin setup (storage is opening up your bed) you get an additional small locker located somewhat nearby. The sleeping quarters can house sometimes up to 80+ sailors at a time.

I was on a cruise ship after high school, It was called the USS Enterprise.

[@Michael-js6gp]

I'd go stir crazy living like that. My dad was in the U.S. Navy for 20 years, and I got sea sick almost every time I was on one of his ships. Didn't matter the size, time of day, or weather, as soon as I went below deck, I puked. One time, when I was 19, he told his shipmates I was hungover because he thought it would make me feel less embarrassed. 🤣

[@randomfactsthatdontmatter3466]

[@TheLadyDi85]

I used to work in a cruise ship for NCL, and the crew cabin I stayed in was 4 people to a room 😭 Definitely claustrophobic and I had the top bunk. I had 4 shifts a day during Embarkation day and 3 shifts for the rest of the duration of the cruise 🥱😪..

[@TheFrenchPug]

It's bigger than a jail cell.

[@ballisticbee6001]

Same! We couldn't even bunk our beds due to the wall lighting so it's even less usable space all around

[@Buttercup84]

I've always been in awe of people having to share rooms with strangers and most of all sharing a toilet. No privacy for what can go in there and I need privacy!

[@sujimtangerines]

@@Buttercup84 Lol I think that's why I CANNOT "go" anymore if the restroom has more than the one toilet or stall. I do not care if it's co-ed or isn't the cleanest, I will choose the "Family" unit or the staff/employee single unit restroom over a multiple stall lavatory.
