Cabin Categories

[jjrmather]

Could someone please explain to me the cabin category codes. For example, for a balcony cabin, what does BC vs. BF vs. B3, etc. mean? Thank you.

First digit:

I = Interior

O = Oceanview

B = Balcony

D = Premium Balcony (Royal and Regal Princess)

M = Mini-Suite

S = Suite

 

Second Digit:

Bottom of alphabet (Z, Y, X...) indicates obstructed view

Top of alphabet (A, B, C...) indicates standard cabin within that category

Numeric (1, 2, 3...) indicates preferred cabin of that category, usually having both of larger interior and/or balcony and midship or stern-facing location

 

Differences between cabin in each second-digit grouping is generally location: midship better than aft, aft better than forward, middle decks better that higher and lower decks; usually the highest letter or number indicates a cabin either directly above or below a public area, which Princess considers the least preferable cabin location in each category.

 

Simple, yes :confused: :D

So under obstructed view cabins, U is the most desirable according to the official publicity release.

So, if I have a MF category booked, I am bottom of the Mini suite barrel?

According to what Princess thinks, yes.

 

But the main difference between mini-suite categories is location, and if you are happy with a MF location, then you have the same mini-suite experience as it would be in any other regular mini-suite.
