A 5-star ship undergoes significant improvements for each sailing season. A 4-star vessel gets upgraded every few years and a 3-star ship sees renovations every 4 to 7 years. Ships that have been renovated more recently will usually tend to cost slightly more.

Cabin size varies from ship to ship, but, generally speaking, the higher the class of the ship, the larger is the cabin space. For example, on a three star cruise, the average space of main deck cabin is 80 square feet and 170 square feet for suite. On a 5-star ship, the average main deck space is 100 square feet and suites will have up to 300 square feet.
