depends also on the nationality of the owner, cruising grounds. If you think of some hot countries they are used to AC 24/7. Its not something i like personally. There have been quite a few refits to enclose the sun deck for the reason that the owner wants AC there.

I was recently on a cruise ship being refit. They had installed alarms so that when the door window was opened to the balcony the alarm would sound and the guest would close it quickly. What was the reason for that? Well if many guests left their windows open the AC for the ship would have to work harder and this would make unneccessary costs for the owner.
