camper49 Posted May 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Is there a difference in an MA and MB catergory ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted May 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2018 The difference has something to do with cabin location not size. I honestly couldn't tell the difference between our mini suite & any plain balcony cabin. I'd never pay extra for the alleged "upgrade" again.

This will be our first ncl cruise...we went with the mini suite because at the time of booking it was less than a regular balcony cabin. We are on deck 11 ..MA cabins are beside MB...they alternate ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish1c Posted May 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Unless you are going to bump all the way up to the Haven, IMO category doesn't matter. DH & I are rarely awake in the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titangas Posted May 4, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 4, 2018 To answer the OP question MA has bed next to balcony and has a tub MB has bed closer to entrance and tub MC has bed next to balcony and shower only MD has bed next to entrance with shower only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie008 Posted May 4, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2018 For what its worth for future Epic cruisers... We have been on Epic three times, twice in Spa Minis, and on the recent TA we had a spa balcony with a very large angled balcony. We didn't think there would be much difference :eek::eek::eek: wrong!!!! OMG it was so tight.. I'd never do anything less than a mini suite on Epic.. there is just zero room to manoeuvre in a regular balcony sized cabin. Also we missed the huge showers (or tub if that's what you like) they have in a mini suite. At the time we booked there were no spa minis left, so we took the spa balcony. We would have been far better opting for a regular mini suite with a spa pass. Fantastic cruise.. best TA cruise in years..but boy that cabin was tight! For the benefit of future readers, don't let anyone tell you there isn't much difference between a regular balcony and a mini-suite..its nonsense.. For sure there is!:') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PTC DAWG Posted May 4, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I wish all cruise lines would make it clearer on the tub vs shower... I haven’t had a bath in over 40 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted May 4, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2018 We agree. We have been on the Epic 6 times (maybe 7). We would not sail in a balcony because of the toilet and shower size. The transporter tubes are too cramped for us. The minis are nice size showers/tubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steadyone Posted May 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I wish all cruise lines would make it clearer on the tub vs shower... I haven’t had a bath in over 40 years... I hope you meant " I haven’t had a bath in over 40 years " on a cruise ship. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA and MC have bed next to balcony and have bathtub. MB and MD have bed closer to entrance and have shower. MA & MB - Higher decks. MC & MD - Lower decks.

MA & MB - Higher decks. MC & MD - Lower decks. So....final answer... No tub in MB? Couch next to balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesea777 Posted May 7, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 7, 2018 So....final answer... No tub in MB? Couch next to balcony? Yes, both correct. And we prefer this layout; we can sit on couch and sip wine while looking out. And space by the balcony for us to dress up and get ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClevelandCruisin Posted August 21, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 21, 2018 We hated the Epic. The bathroom set up is just stupid. Sent from my SM-G960U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realtorgranny Posted August 19, 2019 #18 Share Posted August 19, 2019 We sailed on Epic in a Mini Suite category MB. The storage was way more than we used or expected. Bed was close to entry and shower was fabulous. I love the Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
