4mygrls Posted February 17, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I am trying to figure out what the cabin categories are on carnivals conquest? For example what's the difference between upper deck 8A and 8D? I'm not positive the 8D exists? I was just trying to give an example.I don't understand what the different numbers and letters stand for? I hope I'm making some sort of sense?lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAS-KARR Posted February 17, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I suggest you go to the "CARNIVAL CRUISES" board and the Carnival sailors will explain their cabin set-ups CIAO, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuizer2 Posted February 17, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Sorry the earlier answer was so rude. For Carnival the number is the type of cabin and the letter is the deck. A cat 4 cabin is an inside cabin. A cat 6 cabin is an ocean view cabin. A cat 8 or 9 cabin is a balcony cabin. A cat 11 or 12 is a suite. A 4A cabin is the lowest deck with an inside cabin. A cat 4B cabin is the next higher deck with an inside cabin. A cat 4C cabin is the next higher deck with an inside cabin. Same with the others. A cat 6A cabin is the lowest deck with an ocean view cabin. A cat 6B cabin is the next higher deck with an ocean view cabin. A cat 8A cabin is the lowest deck with a balcony cabin. A cat 8B is the next higher deck with a balcony cabin. There are some exceptions to these rules. For example, on the Spirit class ships a cat 8B and cat 8C are on the same deck. However, the cat 8C has a larger balcony. The suites are all the same. There is no letter code attached to a cat 11 or cat 12 suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGem Posted February 17, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Thanks for the detailed explanation- I've been wondering about Carnival's system, since we just started looking at one of their 5 day cruises (and only cruised them one other time). For 4mygrls: yes- this can be very confusing- and other cruise lines also have codes and categories that may not (at first) make any sense. And then they'll offer a special on one category, which makes it cheaper than previously "lower" categories! Argh! If you have a very knowledgable TA, they can help you negotiate the categories and prices, but we usually pick a cruise and cabin type before we contact a TA. One "rule" that seems to be fairly consistent among assorted lines is that the higher up you go (higher decks), the more the cabin will cost- it's considered a preferred location. Cabins on the lowest passenger deck are usually the cheapest. On some lines, an inside on an upper deck will cost more than an outside on a lower deck. So the "adventure" part of your cruise actually starts with figuring out the cabins and pricing system (and trying to find the best deal).

cherylandtk Posted February 17, 2007 #5 Share Posted February 17, 2007 This might also help, pictures being worth a thousand words...the type of room is the same for the categories listed under each picture. The differences in each category are just location, as Cuizer2 noted. http://www.carnival.com/CMS/Staterooms/Conquest-Staterooms.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
