Well the ship was sent away as a back up plan in case the Klingons conquered. I would imagine the quarters are meant for long stays.

Fair enough
Rather be in the TOS version, versus the SNW version.
I'm not sure that Pike's quarters are any wider than Picard or Janeway's, just a bit deeper and with a ceiling that's flat rather than sloped. Ditto when you compare Spock's to Riker or Tuvok.
While they are certainly large those shots above are with a very wide lens.
It's certainly a change of idea that your quarters are a large space for you (although to be fair, Pike uses his as a common space fairly often) as opposed to TOS where your quarters are tiny (but still yours, not shared) and there are common areas for you to spend time in your off hours.

What do crew quarters look like? I don't recall if we saw them.
In TOS or SNW?
Yes.
Okay..non-bridge officer quarters or senior officer quarters.
We saw the "main character" quarters frequently in both shows. We saw normal crew quarters a few times in TOS.
Rand's quarters were shown in "The Enemy Within" and appeared to be a similar layout to Kirk's.
I wonder if there will be something where these very spacious areas start to get reduced in size to accommodate the 430 crew complement eventually? Or will it just be something that ends up in head canon in the transition from Pike to Kirk?
I would imagine a 50% increase in crew compliment would require some reworking of accommodations.
Yeah, that's what I was wondering, if there will be this passing line said about Starfleet considering doing that, maybe Pike complaining that his kitchen and all will be going away!
As I recall we saw that Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura and McGivers all had the two room layout. They used just the office area of the officer’s quarters set for Ensign Garrovick’s quarters, I guess to show as an ensign he had only a single room.
We saw Kirk's quarters a number of times (These are just off the top of my head from season 1. There are probably more episodes where this was the case):
TOS S1 The Corbomite Maneuver
TOS S1 Mudds Women
TOS S1 Balance Of Terror
TOS S1 Tomorrow Is Yesterday
We saw Yeoman Rand's quarters in:
TOS S1 Charlie X
We saw Lieutenant Uhura's quarters in:
TOS S3 Elaan of Troyius
TOS S3 The Tholian Web
Scotty's quarters (and all his hidden booze stashes)
TOS S2E22 By Any Other Name
TOS S2E22 By Any Other Name
They're not trying to match this to all the details of the old show.
Every space on this ship is several times the size of the old version - sickbay, briefing room, bridge, transporter room. The ship's bigger.
Nearly 150 meters larger in fact. She's closer in size to the Excelsior than anything.
Guess that depends which scale you use for the Excelsior.
Edit: Actually no I'm wrong, no matter what size it is still closer to the excelsior.
