White line next to cabins on deck maps?

[mrsgthatsme]

Does anyone know what a thin white line next to a cabin means? Here is a link to a deck we are considered and the line appears next to Staterooms 7576 and 7076.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Just a little space (inside the walls) to make the configuration come out right. Maybe with wires or other connections in it. You wouldn't even notice it in the passageway.

I had wondered the same when I was looking earlier this week. I didn't know if there were water pipes or something like that in there.

It's so funny you posted this because I was looking at the deck plans a little while ago and noticed the cabin I booked for Hawaii had one. I googled it trying to figure out what it meant and found a thread on here from 2002 talking about it. Their speculation was that was where the ship was welded together. Not sure if that was true or not, but it seems like it isn't much of anything and shouldn't cause a smaller room or any noise.

I believe it's water tight bulkhead. The hallway in that portion probably has a closeable door that you probably haven't noticed. It would be used to seal sections of the ship and prevent sinking if there is a breach in the hull.

That makes me think of the Titanic

^^^This. It should have no impact on your stateroom choice.

All ships should, because all ships of this size have watertight bulkheads. Titanic's issue was that the bulkheads didn't go all the way to the top, so water spilled over each bulkhead, flooding the next in succession.

close

that far above the waterline there aren't watertight bulkheads

there ARE automatic fire doors ......

same basic principle

(wouldn't make much sense for there to be watertight bulkheads to divide balcony cabin areas now would it? Higher up than the lifeboats! Watertight bulkheads usually run as high as what Navy folks would call the 'main deck' or the highest continuous deck from fore to aft. The part of the ship from the bottom to this deck is the 'water tight' capsule for stability ... "the hull")

As well it should since the bulk heads FULLY sealing in an emergency will help save the ship and passengers .

Was just in Halifax and the cemetery has the remains of over 100 of the victims. It's possible that if the bulkheads were properly designed on the Titanic, the extent of the disaster would have been mitigated.

just make sure you pick the dry side of the bulkhead... ........
