Answer

I'm going to have to guess here.  I think you mean "no. of lowers", which would mean to me the number of lower beds (as opposed to upper bunk beds).
The term "total bed days" would be the total number of beds available for occupancy on one or more ships or all the ships in a company, multiplied by the time that they were available.  
In a simple example, if a ship had 100 beds total, over a period of 10 days it would have 100 X 10 = 1000 total bed days for that time.  This number is used to figure occupancy rates - the number of days and beds occupied divided by the total bed days.
I'm not in the cruise industry, but that would be my guess
