What is a Verandah stateroom?

• A. A cabin with no external view
• B. A stateroom with a private balcony
• C. A stateroom with an interior window
• D. A cabin with a skylight

Answer: (B)

A Verandah stateroom is a cabin that includes a private balcony. The key feature is the outdoor space you can step out onto, along with seating and a view of the sea or horizon. This sets it apart from interior staterooms, which have no exterior window or balcony, and from oceanview staterooms, which have a window or porthole but no private balcony. A skylight provides light from above but does not offer an outdoor deck, so it isn’t a verandah stateroom. So the defining idea is a stateroom with a private balcony.
