Secret cabin category ranks--how to know?

[FLUFFLULA]

We have been on a number of cruises but we still don't know how the cabin categories are ranked (best to least). I saw a post recently on CC that said the first letter is the location, such as I for Interior, and the second letter is the cabin rank starting with A (highest), B and etc. which seemed to be the case when I looked at cabins on Princess. But when I looked at RCI, cabin categories started at K or L. So, I'm confused. How does the traveler know the best to the least desirable cabin category? :confused:

Thanks in advance for your help!

Look at the ship's deck plans. They all show the categories of the cabins in the various locations. Then you can decide what's "best" and what's "worst" depending on what is important to YOU.

The biggest suite is, of course, the best.

 

The deck plans show sq. footage....bigger will cost more and is better, IMO! Location, midships and higher decks is considered better, too.
