Why does Princess "skip" 13th deck?

Why does Princess "skip" 13th deck?

Superstitious? Tradition? Trouble with booking that level?

Just curious if anyone knows.

It's an old superstition. You will notice that almost every hotel does not have a 13th floor.

We were just talking about this. DH did a run yesterday, and when he picked up his bib on 7/4, his was number 13 (out of about 450). Even though he's not superstitious, we were surprised at how many people saw his bib at the start of the race and commented on it. Next year he won't register so early!

 

(He finished strong. To heck with superstition!)

On most lines, there is no deck 13, and no cabins with 13 in the number. The exception is MSC. On Divina, there is a deck 13. EM

There actually is a 13th floor on all ships and in hotels. It is just numbered 14. :D ;)

Not only is there no 13th floor on Princess ships, there are no cabin numbers that end with 13.

In my street there's no number 13, it jumps from 11 to 15.

All of the above.

Now 13 can't be all bad, as an avid Bridge player I always get 13 cards.:)

A question. Who will dare to write the 13th post? Or, will this thread die at # 12? :rolleyes:

In certain Asian countries 4 is the equivalent of 13 in the USA.

 

With the repositioned ships to Asia I doubt Princess is renumbering floors and cabin numbers.

And 80 is the new 50. :rolleyes:

Well, no cabins on deck 4...:)

Of course!

Superstition, I've only ever been in one hotel with a 13th floor, thankfully I wasn't staying on that floor 😁

Woohoo! :D:p:)

On some ships we have found that, where there are two telephones in a suite, sometimes one

is Deck number + cabin number

whilst the other is

13 + cabin number

 

Can't remember which ships have this, but we first noticed it on P&O Oceana (Sun Class), but also know that it was not that way on Island Princess where both phones had the same number.

Go DH! It's tradition in bicycling races for rider #13 to pin their number on upside-down.

Most Royal Caribbean ships have Deck 13 (if there are enough decks), with the odd exception of the Oasis class which goes from Deck 12 to Deck 14. Even the new Quantum class shows Deck 13 on the deck plans. Strange :confused:

Makes you wonder if Costa Concordia had more than one Deck 13....

In China there is no 14th floor because it is unlucky. However, the Chinese people do not like the 15th floor because they know it is really the 14th.

Supposedly the reason the number 13 is considered unlucky is because there were 13 people at The Last Supper.

Traditional?

There's usually a lot of evil on the 13th deck, so they only open it up for the Halloween cruises. ;)
