Talking about the Elegance 122 RPH (cf. http://tinyurl.com/yjgzkyy [PDF]).
Does this mean six en-suite bathrooms?
P.S. The broad field should, in my opinion, be Sport, which is unfortunately not an option. None of the existing options seem to apply to sailing, hence my choice of "Other". If this can be corrected, please feel free to change it to "Sport". I have specified "(here)" as it is so context-specific.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

This beautiful Lien Hwa Flushdeck Motoryacht is a bit of a floating mansion. She has three Staterooms, two salons, three heads, and a laundry room, not to mention a sundeck and a very large party deck. The boat is stabilized and very well equipped. She is quite comfortable whether you are cruising the harbor or cruising the West Coast to Alaska. “She offers both local and long-range luxury.”

Luxury motor yacht Starfire comfortably accommodates up to 12 charter guests in 6 cabins, in the following layout. The main master cabin offers a king size bed and an ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi bath tub, shower and head. Two further cabins have twin beds and a Pullman bunk as well as ensuite bathrooms with shower and head. There are two cabins with queen sized beds and ensuite, shower and head. The final cabin offers another king sized bed, and ensuite with a bath tub, shower and head. Starfire is fully air conditioned through out. The yacht’s crew have a separate companionway and accommodation.
| Is 'bathroom' very wrong, or would it be OK for a general readership (attending a boat show)? It seems more accessible to the lay person. |
| Many thanks for that interesting fact :-) |

: "Head" is the correct nautical term for a TOILET (cf. Dluhy), NOT for a bathroom. US (mis-)use of "bathroom" (as euphemism for toilet) not to be confused with the German "Bad". In your own examples, the "head" is part of the equipment of the bathroom.
