Maritime industry has its own language of expressions and phrases. For instance the term named Room is stated as Cabin in maritime literature. On board nearly all sort of vessels each personnel has own cabin. Especially officers have their own cabins. However the crew does occasionally have cabins sharing with each other by two.

This case may also be subject to cadets on board ship. In case there is more than one cadet trained on board they may occasionally accommodate in the same cabin as well. This situation is of course based on ships of small size and tonnage. And since there are many cabins on ships of large size and tonnage considering the fact that a large number of personnel working, there is no absence of available cabins frequently.
