it depends .. I was on the USS Nimitz and my rack was on the 03 level at the very front of the ship just a few feet under catapult one and two.. we called it the forward sauna it was really hotter than the rest of the ship,it was hot sometimes would sweat. One on deployment we took the USS Vinson on its first shakedown cruise and they moved our sleeping quarters two decks below the hangar bay and it was cold, but overall its nice and cool

It really depends on two factors:
1) The Berthing space (bedroom to you polly-wogs). Where it is located relative to other compartments, the water-line, and main-deck. Also WHO OWNS the space... sometimes the Engineers will ensure THEIR spaces are kept cooler.
2) The Waters the ship is operating in... most of the cooling is provided by sea-water cooling systems, and if you're in HOT tropical waters, it can be darned stifling down in berthing.
If you like it COLD... go into the OS or EW or RM/DP rates... Combat Information kept COOL to protect the electronics... often to the discomfort (and head colds) of those working there !!
During three of my cruises working OX Divsion (ASW) on carriers I'd have to wear long-johns and sweaters to work a 12 hour shift.... while most other compartments were in the mid 80's and the OAT was 95. Our berthing was right under CIC, and I needed two blankets to sleep during the day (I had 1900-0700 shift)

I'm on a boat where 1/5 the inside space is occupied by a Nuclear Reactor, and it is an ice box in my berthing area!

If you can't stand the heat, don't become an engineer. The hole is hot!

depends on the ship. my ex's ship never had air working in it and they were always sweating during deployments to the middle east.

Yes they usually keep it around 70.

depends on where you are talking..Engineering: HOT. CIC: Not so much. Berthing will vary.

it is as long as people keep the a/c boundaries closed.... and it depends on where you are at sea... but most of the time yes.
