New Cabin Categories Showing on Carnival!

[KroozFoolz]

I'm curious as to what new "colors" Carnival is going to use for these new categories. The deck plans will start to look like a paint by numbers set! :D

They must have gotten a new larger box of Crayons. :D

Anyone knows the new category # for the old 8G & 8H staterooms with extra large balconies on Spirit Class ships -- 6232, 6234, 6281, 7258, 7260, 7303, 8232, 8234, and 8239? They seem to disappear from the booking.

 

Looks like they will be 8J and 8K depending on which deck. Based on the categories listed it doesn't appear these specific cabins will be a higher category then other extended balconies on the same deck.

 

Other than differences already existing (extended vs non extended) it seems the changes are not taking balcony size into consideration per se. It's more about location.

Read this and just booked our Thanksgiving cruise for 2010. Our usual 8I's are now 8m's.

9A and 9B's are still priced the same.

 

But the wrap suites (cat. 11) are now more than the reg. suites (cat. 11).

I think Carnival announced last year they would make changes to the names of cats. I guess they have been dong this in stages, per ships.

Actually the categories were redone to differentiate between midship and forward and aft and by deck. There was a lot of discussion here when that happened. So this is the 2nd recent redo of cabin categories. At least on the Spirit ships.

I can confirm that 7258 is listed as a Cat 8K because that is the cabin that I have booked and the new category is showing on my reservation.

My cat's previous name was Mittens. When will I find out her new name?

 

8232 on Legend is an 8K.

Yes, I see VS costs more than OS & JS now, but also JS is more expensive than OS, does it make sense?

On the booking I'm looking at the OS costs more than the JS.

I'm looking at 6/13/10 Legend. OS costs $1409pp, while JS costs $1439pp - strange - maybe a typo?

I was looking at 4/5/11 on the Spirit. I exited it out, but I think that was the right date. It was a 5 day to Cabo and Ensenada out of San Diego.

Triumph 6Ds are still 6Ds. No change, yet.

Right now it looks like only the Spirit class ships have this change.

[spencercoop]

They have changed the colors of the deck plans, at least on the Spirit.

[navybaby1113]

No change on the Dream sailings yet.

With Firefox I still see the old colors on the cabin map, but with IE I see the new ones. I wish the map was more interactive. So when you put your mouse over a cabin a little box popped up and give you the category.

 

8E and VS look a lot of like, hope I don't book the wrong one...ha ha...

[lollylew]

Does anyone know if all these changes are going to applied fleet wide (i.e. Fantasy class ships)?

Yes, fleet wide

I see the new colored categories in the deck plans on Legend, too. They just lowered the price of Cat. 9A also.

I see the aft wraps will now be called Vista Suites. 19 days for our 2nd one. I can't say I blame then one bit. It always amazed me that these cabins were the same price as a regular Cat 11 suite. Same price no more. Oh well.....

I wish they weren't higher. But I can't blame Carnival either. There really is no way what is now VS is worth the same as what is now JS.

Our cat. 11 (Cabin #6197) has been changed to "OS".

I've got my eye on some 4A portholes on the Fantasy (used to be 5A). Saw the inside of one on the Elation and figured they weren't too bad (as long as I got the ones that were the furthest from the bow). I'm just hoping that Carnival keeps them at the 4A price! :p
