D1 vs D2


Recommended Posts

hi,

does anyone know the difference between a D1 and a D2 balcony catagory? i'm looking at the explorer for this one if that makes any difference.

All D2 cabins can only accommodate 2 passengers.

 

A D1 cabin will have a sofabed that supposedly sleeps two more.

Generally, but not universally true. RCI makes decides the D1s are better for some reason it may be location or the accomodation [sofa bed] issue. Some times it can be really tough to figure out why they decided what they did.

This is not true for the Legend, I have a D2, with sofa bed, booked for 3 people for May 2010.

There is no difference size-wise.... the difference in the categories would be location.

mgmigs specified the Explorer. What I wrote is true for the Explorer.

 

mjldvlks & julia, D1 and D2 are often right next door to one another. It's not always "location".

Uh -- never said it was. It's also not always extra berths or connecting cabins. But it's always something.

it is only dh and i traveling so was wondering if i should pay a few extra bucks for the D1, as long as there actually is a difference for us. i have to check the locations, i think the D2s' were further from the middle and the D1's were closer to midship but i'm not 100% certain.

On Independence in April, we had a D1 on the 9th deck hump but couldn't resist a 50% discount for a balcony guarantee. We ended up with a D2 a few doors down from the hump on the same deck. We were very pleased with the cabin. If the location is worth the difference to you [and only you can decide] then go for it. If you'd rather save the money, you'll be fine with a D2.
