I just added some new pics of my cruise ship to brickshelf:

The neat thing about this ship is its schiziophrenic nature. In the
areas where the passengers mill about, they have monstrous 15x15 or
so staterooms with plants and windows and all the amenities. There's
a baseplate-sized atrium with a receptionist and a huge desk. But in
the areas the crew uses, people are wedged into small corners barely
large enough to fit them, with hoses running exposed along the walls.

...and that's exactly how a luxury liner probably ought to be. Spare
no expense on making the town-minifigs happy, but be frugal toward the
space-minifigs.

You got it right on the head.  I have made a decided effort to keep the
"crew" area of the ship as efficiant and sparse as neccessary, but I want to
lavish splendor on the passengers... a space cruise would be pretty
expensive, and they should expect it.

For example, the crew has 2 bunk rooms; one for the guys, one for the girls.
Each room has six sleeping modules.  The crew has almost 30 people, so they
have to sleep in rotations and work a pretty tight schedule.  That means you
get to share your bed with 2 other people... kinda dehumanizing.  It pays
pretty good though, and you get to save some genuine Saturn "ring dust" as a
souvenier.

cheers!
