Complete list of stateroom categories on each ship

[mitsguy2001]

Thank you for the updates for the Conquest. Hopefully others will be able to update the list as more ships are upgraded.

 

It seems a lot of people want this to be made sticky.

[mitsguy2001]

An update: It appears that the aft-wraps on Deck 5 of the Sunshine will be Ocean Suites, Cat. OS, rather than Cat. 9C.

 

It also appears that the deck names on the Sunshine will be:

 

Deck 3: Lobby

Deck 4: Mezzanine

Deck 5: Promenade

Deck 9: Lido

Deck 10: Spa & Waterworks

Deck 11: Serenity and SportsSquare

Deck 14: Serenity

 

I assume all other decks will keep their Destiny name, but may not be used on the elevator buttons.

[mitsguy2001]

One thing I wonder about is, why are most of the suites on the Dream Class ships on Deck 7, rather than a higher deck? The consensus seems to be that Deck 7 has lousy views due to the lanai on Deck 5. I can understand not having the suites on Deck 9 (the Lido deck is above), but I wonder why they aren't on Deck 8. Any ideas?

[mitsguy2001]

A few things I'm just curious about:

 

1. Why is it that no ships have any Category 2 or 3? All ships have a Category 1A, and then the next numbered category is 4A? Do any longtime Carnival cruisers remember if maybe the older ships had a Category 2 or 3 which no longer exists? Or is Category 2 or 3 a designation that was retired, like 5A?

 

2. How did the decks get their names? It seems strange that the "Main Deck" would be a low, stateroom-only deck. You would think the "Main Deck" would be the one with the lobby. Also, why is it that the "Upper Deck" is only about half way up the ship?

 

Just curious, no big deal.

A while ago, on another thread, I posted a list of stateroom categories on each ship. I decided to update it to include the Sunshine. Assuming that everything is correct, can a moderator make this post sticky, since it can be useful for people new to Carnival. I didn't go into detail as to the location of each category, since that would vary for each class of ships. If there is interest in that, maybe someone can post that for each ship class. Note that not every ship necessarily has the entire range of letters.

I would like this to be a sticky as well. It's great information and I was looking for this especially for the Carnival Sunshine. Thank you.

[crusinpsychRN]

You're welcome. Again, that is why it should be made sticky, since anyone coming to the board in the future won't know to find this thread.

 

You can contact them by hitting the report button on upper right, the triangle used to report posts and request there.

[Sunnyday2010]

Thank you for the info !! This always confuses me !

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

Thanks for the info ..

[mairead224]

.. please not a sticky.

 

If someone cannot look at what categories are .. like go to cruisedeckplans.com and look .. they should not be allowed to book a cruise.

 

this is good info .. but I really dont think it warrants being a sticky. People are interested in one ship usually .. and then they dig down to categories. Most of us know the categories and know what we want to book and if someone is confused .. we can sort it out on a thread.

 

 

There are many people on CC that barely know how to use the internet not amind go on deckplans etc.

 

OP what a great post. Thankyou for taking the time

Firefly from what I read throughout this board, you are a wealth of information. But I do have to say the above quote, as a new cruiser to Carnival, I'm taken aback by and truthfully quite insulted.

 

I do find Carnival's cabin categories quite confusing even after using their website and cruisedeckplans. It did take me hours to figure out which particular category I was looking to book and therefore IF I choose to sail Carnival again (assuming I love this cruise as much as the others I have taken), I believe as a new cruiser to Carnival I will find this thread quite helpful. So @OP thank you.

 

I have bookmarked this thread so I can refer to it and sort through the descrepancies you list when I have more time. That way as a new cruiser I will not have to take hours searching to figure out which category is best for us. And therefore I will be educated and in your eyes "be allowed to book a cruise". :rolleyes:

thanks for the information

[Engineerstar]

Thank you for all the detailed work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sue Do-Over]

Regarding the 6M not available until 6As are all booked... perhaps 6M are reserved for a specific high-volume travel agency, partnership with an online broker, or used by promotions teams for special offers, group tours, etc.?

 

That is, once any/all of those partners have declined their use, the cabins become available for general bookings?

 

When I'm watching for price drops or upgrade opportunities, I often see blocks of cabins appear and disappear.

Whether it's a good room or not is subjective. For people who book balconies & suites all the time, they would think your room is absolutely horrible. For people who cruise cheap interiors, they would think it's a good room. This list was made to help people understand what the categories mean, and on what ships you can find them.

 

Your room is in the very front of the ship on deck 7, with a picture window looking out to a public observation deck. That deck is open to anyone, but it is not heavily used. At night, keep the shades closed, or people will be able to see into your room. Alot of people who stay in these rooms like to think of that deck as a shared huge balcony, overlooking the front of the ship. No sofa in the room, and because it is in the very front of the ship, it can experience more motion than midship rooms.

[TampaJules]

Excellent information! Thank you to the OP for collecting the data.

[FirstAlto]

Whether a newbie or experienced cruiser, this info is very helpful !

Many thanks to the OP - I've it bookmarked so I can find it when necessary !!

Thank you for the update. Which rooms have been upgraded?

[mitsguy2001]

You're welcome to everyone who thanked me. Glad I was able to help.

[k2excursion]

Thank you for the update. Which rooms have been upgraded?

 

The scenic OV rooms on deck 9 (category 6J & 6K) and the Captains Suites (CS) got added to a few more ships since you made the original list. They have been added to Glory, Conquest, & Freedom. By the way, I don't have Freedom on that list, since that hadn't been done yet when I made that post. The rooms used to be 4Js in those spots, but 4Js do still exist on other floors of these ships.

It sounds like now all of the Conquest class ships have the Captain's Suites (CS), and the only Conquest class ship not to have the Scenic Oceanview (Cat. 6J and 6K) is the Liberty. Am I correct? Thanks.
