IamaTexasCruiser Posted March 11, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2011 What does "category" mean, in regards to cabins? we are on Mariner of the Seas, Deck 10, in GS, room #1286. I don't know what "category" we are. does it make a difference? is this a choice spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aunursa Posted March 11, 2011 #2 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Here is the deck plan. You are near mid-ship. In a Grand Suite you are entitled to many valuable benefits that are available only to suite occupants. Here you'll find the different stateroom categories. Click on a type to see all the room types for that category. (Obviously Grand Suite is in the "Suites" category.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted March 11, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2011 but what does 'category' mean? i've heard it on every booking. even online; it must mean something GS is the category, its a suite category. If one were checking prices, you would check the prices of a GS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizcourt Posted March 11, 2011 #5 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Categories means a couple of things. First, it denotes the type of cabin in the broadest sense-- inside, inside balcony (on certain ships, there are cabins with balconies that overlook interior parts of the ship, such as the Boardwalk and Central Park areas on Allure and Oasis), ocean view, ocean view with balcony and suites. Then within these broader categories are subcategories. For balcony cabins, for example, there are various categories which vary in price having mostly to do with location -- how high a deck you're on and how close to midships as opposed to being fore or aft. In the general suites category, you have a number of different categories of suites, with the most common being junior suites (basically just a larger balcony cabin, they do not participate in many suite amenities such as access to the Concierge Lounge), grand suites, owners suites, royal suites, etc. Unlike the sub-category distinctions for balcony cabins, which denote only a different location, the various categories of suites generally have very different layouts and furnishings: a grand suite will look different from a royal, or presidential, or (on Oasis and Allure) crown loft suite, have a different layout and probably different furnishings. In case you haven't figured this out already, by the way, Grand Suite is a VERY high category, and you should love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 11, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Your best bet is to REALLY look at the deck plans....all of the "catagories" are color-coded, so you can see location and descriptions of all the different catagories. It's pretty self-explanatory, if you look at the deck plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
