What are hump cabins?

[douknowme]

I see this term used a lot. Can someone explain to me what it means?

Staterooms on the part of the ship that extends out from the side. In other words, if you put the ship on it's side, those staterooms would look like a hump.

This question always tempts me to post a naughty answer.

In order to accommodate a wider area inside the shop for the elevators, there is a "bulge" on the sides that is called "the hump". Rooms in this area have balconies that follow this hump/bulge shape. The balconies and rooms aren't any larger, but those on the leading or trailing arc of the hump will have a view down the side of the ship and some find that more desirable.

The hump cabins are in good mid-ship locations which is a plus. :)

Look at the deck plans....(not all ship's have "humps")...the place on the side of the ship where it bows out is the "hump". It's usually a midship location, which most folks like. Only on some ships does the "hump" give you any extra space. For instance, on Voyager/Freedom class, there is no size advantage to the hump area. On Radiance class, the "edge of the hump" cabins have more balcony space...the center hump balconies do not.

best cabins on the ships!!! We love hump balconies more than AFT. Great central location, can see everything. Just a perfect cabin. We get hump balconies whenever we possibly can.
