Timeshare Rooms vs Cruise Ship Rooms

[pedro47]

A timeshare villa is in use for 51 weeks in the course of a year ( one week per year the villa is down for maintenance); while a cruise ship room is in use 52 weeks in the course of a year. But most cruise ships rooms shows less wear and tear than a timeshare room. Why?

One possibility is that cruisers generally only use their cabins to sleep and change clothes. Timeshare users use their villas more hours per day and do things in there like laundry, cooking, eating, and cleaning.

As well, even though cruise ship cabins theoretically are in use 52 weeks per year, are all 52 weeks always booked?

I've never cruised but isn't a cabin mainly a small bedroom and small bathroom?

In timeshares, I don't think the bedroom is the place you see the most evidence of wear and tear.

Cruise ship cabins (at least the ones I choose) don't have a living room to lounge around,(public spaces serve that purpose) a kitchen to make smelly messes in, many kids coming in from the outdoors/sandy beaches, tracking the place up, and cruise ship cabins have twice (or more frequent) daily service from cabin stewards who keep the place all ship-shape.

Same as hotel rooms wearing less.

People dont Cook in cabins Or hotel rooms. A huge start.
