11. Why was the decision made to remove the term “family” from the higher occupancy staterooms?

High occupancy staterooms are not only appealing to family travelers, but also other groups of individuals that may be misled by the “family” label.  As not to polarize or mislead, the term “family” has been removed from such categories and has been replaced with descriptors such as “spacious” and “ultra-spacious”.
