jules815 Posted March 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2014 D1 Superior or a Superior D2-D8, which is $200 less. Both appear to be same dimensions, room and balcony. Is it the location? Why would we want a D1 Superior versus the other? I haven't factored in my balcony discount yet, so if there's something special about the D1, I'd take it. Also, if any of you have sailed in this category, and were really happy with your room, I'd love to hear why and the room numbers. And now I'll be sitting here all morning looking at photos. I have butterflies in my stomach knowing we'll be booking something soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabin 10596 is a great D1 that we stayed in on allure. Also the D1 cabins are located in the middle of the ship so location is great.

Clarea Posted March 10, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I thought the balconies on the D1 were larger than the other D category staterooms on Oasis Class. There's also location involved. I believe the D1s are on the hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we had hump cabins on our last 3 Mariner cruises. This is what we're going to want then. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted March 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2014 There are also d5's on the hump edge which are cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KGSB11 Posted March 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2014 D1 balconies are longer -- not necessarily wider - http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=31803944&postcount=8 It is my understanding that D2-D8 fairly the same and are mostly based on location after that - Save for the case mentioned on the cabins "next to" the hump cabins I had a D8 cabin which was surrounded by higher level cabins -- the only difference is mine was closer to the elevator lobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vondofife Posted March 10, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) We stayed in a D1 cabin on Allure. The balcony is the same width as other D cabins but is much deeper. We loved our D1 balcony. The cabin is exactly the same size in a D1-D8. The balconies on D2-D8 are all the same. Some D5 balconies are angled and so they are slightly bigger.
