Scotland01 Posted May 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2013 At the moment all balcony cabins on our sailing are priced the same. I know E1 is smaller but cannot see what difference between D1 and D2 I have reserved a D2 midship but travel agent has told me D1 is actually larger and classed as a Family stateroom. Is this right and since many are still available should I change? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, (and certainly on the Adventure), a D2 will only hold two passengers, but a D1 has a sofabed for one or two more passengers.

cb at sea Posted May 22, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2013 All E's are the same size. All D's are the same size. The difference in the D1 and D2 is location and number of beds. Even if there are more beds, you don't get any added space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two cabins are much larger than any other D1 and the balcony is huge. They are PRIMO cabins. Grab one if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miryam1234 Posted July 14, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Then what about D3, what type is it? Mainly interested in Adventure since we booked a guarantee balcony and got a D3. number 6680, last side balcony before aft cabins. It's perfectly okay for us especially because of the price, I was just wondering since I have never paid any attention to the letters D&E etc before.

The D3 will be the same size inside as the D1 and D2 staterooms. The balcony will also be the same size as other side-facing D staterooms. Only aft staterooms would have a larger balcony.

Miryam1234 Posted July 14, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 14, 2014 It they are similar, why the different letter? Just wondering about RCI logic...there are a lot of cabin types based on the letters... Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) It they are similar, why the different letter? Just wondering about RCI logic...there are a lot of cabin types based on the letters... There is a difference in size between an "E" and "D" type stateroom, with the "D" being slightly larger. With regard to the difference in numeric suffix, the "1" usually holds more guests and has a perceived better location. Perceived better location is the difference between the "2" vs "3" suffix.

Plymouthmerlin67 Posted July 14, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Can we assume that it is the same grading for ALL RCI ships? WE are planning a trip on Freedom next year. Me and my wife will be in one room, then our Daughter, son and two young granddaughters in another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, on Oasis/Allure, the D1 balcony size is larger than on the D2-D7 staterooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthmerlin67 Posted July 14, 2014 #12 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Oh right, thanks for clarifying. We have already spoken to our travel agent, telling her we will coming in to see her shortly to discuss our plans, so will clarify the room sizes then.
