What is the difference?? 8A, 8B, etc

[MikeNKim]

Except for the floor you are on what is the difference between say a 8A and other 8 cats???? Are the size of the rooms any different???

 

Thanks

The rooms are the same, it is the level of the ship that you are on, the higher the floors (ie A Being lowest, I being highest) The higher up are supposed to be better.

The categories are also considered better midship rather that forward and aft

Not quite sure what you mean by better catagories. We are paying more for our aft cabin. And, definitely worth it!

I should have said the more expensive categories are midship, EXCEPT the balconies immediately along the back ( aft).

 

When I said aft I meant towards the back of the boat not along the back!

The number letter combo is Carnival's way of identifying what type of a cabin and what level that cabin is. The number identifies which type of cabin you have. For example, 4A is an inside, 6A is an oceanview and 8A is a balcony (there are other cats not listed here). In most cases the A level is the lowest deck number with that type of cabin. The B level is the next higher deck with that type of cabin. The C level is the next higher deck with that type of cabin. So 8A might be on deck six and 8B is the same type of cabin (balcony in this case) except it is on deck seven. However, this is not always the case. For example, 9A might be on decks six, seven and eight of the same ship. Also, on some ships (Spirit class) 8B and 8C are on the same deck, as is 8D and 8E. In this case, 8B and 8D are standard balcony cabins and 8C and 8E are extended balcony cabins.
