RazorbackBelle08 Posted January 31, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2012 My TA told me she got me an upgrade from an 8A to an 8C or 8D or something like that. I figured a balcony room is a balcony room... which is what I wanted and what I paid for... What's the difference between the A's, C's, D's? Forgive me for asking a total newbie question, but this is my first cruise so I'm curious :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc04321 Posted January 31, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2012 In a nutshell it is location on a ship, the higher the letter the better the location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I wonder how they determine that! My 8D is directly below the pool on the Lido deck *facepalm* :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H82seaUgo Posted January 31, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 31, 2012 some letters refer to the location on the ship, and others, balcony size. the "higher" the letter, supposedly the better the cabin/location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc04321 Posted January 31, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Not sure, but the higher the deck "they" think the better the cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H82seaUgo Posted January 31, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Not sure, but the higher the deck "they" think the better the cabin. it's antiquated thinking from the days when there was no air conditioning. the lower the deck, the hotter it was, and stale.

mondello Posted January 31, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'd take any balcony on a cruise to hell and probably love it. However, I've read on here that under the pool is not a great location as far as noise from chairs being dragged around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted January 31, 2012 #8 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Many times we prefer the lower deck cabins. The higher categories are just what the cruise line considers to be a better location. There are many cabins in high categories that people find undesirable for one reason or another--underneath the pool area, buffet, or gym being among the top reasons.
