Oceanview cabin category question

[Starry Eyes]

We just booked a last minute gty Oceanview (category OC) on Island Princess Med cruise 6/27. We have done gtys before (mostly on other lines) and I rather enjoy anticipating the cabin assignment. I understand any cabin in category OC or higher is possible. So now I am trying to understand how Princess ranks it's OV cabin categories from high to low. Could somebody kindly list them in order for me?

 

Currently the only non obstructed cabins I see available are O5. No balconies at the moment. Is O5 a higher or lower category than OC?

 

Thanks for any help.

On the Island Princess, non-obstructed Oceanview staterooms are ranked as follows, from high to low:

 

O5 - Premium, Dolphin Deck, Fwd

O6 - Premium, Emerald Deck, Fwd

OB - Plaza Deck, Mid-ship

OC - Plaza Deck, Mid-aft

OD - Baja Deck, Aft

OE - Emerald & Plaza Decks, Aft

 

The Premium staterooms are larger at 212 sq ft vs 165 sq ft for the others.

 

If you are assigned a O5 cabin, that would be a very nice upgrade, unless you don't want to be on the very front of the ship.

That is very helpful; thank you for the help.

 

The front of the ship would be fine. We can be happy enough anywhere on the ship.
