If my experience in the offshore industry is anything to go by, a crew cabin will be 8-10sqm (100sqft-ish), with either one or two bunks (Pro tip: try to get dibs on the lower one), a small table or desk if you are lucky, a couch two people can share if they are really good friends, a couple of small cabinets for clothing and personal items, also two drawers under the lower bunk.
Oh, and with any luck, a porthole.
A head, 2sqm/20sqft or so, shower, toilet, sink.
Neat and tidy, but by no means luxurious.
- dasv 4y agoI have only been offshore once, in the Goliat platform, for a mooring monitoring system installation — I was definitely not expecting the cruise ship like crew quarters! Single cabins with ensuite bathrooms, a cozy dining room with wall to wall windowing, even a pool table! Goliat is a very modern FPSO design, however. My colleagues' experiences in other floating rigs around the world, which are usually built from converted tanker hulls, are more like what you describe, especially below the equator. For contractors you might be lucky and get a double cabin to share, but cabins might have up to four bunks. Definitely don't forget to pack some flip flops or crocs for the showers!
