While the relationship will not be linear I suspect that ships with more
total space per passenger will have less crowding than those with less
space. Now the increased space could be used for luxurious crew
quarters but I suspect that situation is unlikely. You can decide if
the use for an atrium which uses lots of volume in relation to the deck
space provided but tonnage appears as reasonable as deck space.
