USCcruisecrazy Posted August 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Is there something that shows a difference between mini-suites with different designators? I see M1, MA, MB, MC, ME, and MF...are they basically the same or are there differing amenities one from the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JimmyVWine Posted August 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2018 M1 mini-suites participate in Club Class Dining and do have a different set of perks. All other mini-suites are the same, aside from location. On the Royal Class ships, because of the way the balconies are shaped, mini-suites with bigger balconies might be considered "Premium". That designation denotes a large balcony, but no greater perks/benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted August 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Mostly location - however M1 mini suites are "Club Class Mini Suites, with mid ship location and Club Class Dining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adstz Posted August 13, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2018 They are basically the same. The different numbers indicate "desirability". Lower numbers, M1 or MA will be a cabin in a better location. MA will be mid ship while ME could be forward. Of course, "better" is subjective. But it also indicates a price difference too. M1 and MA will be higher priced cabins. There is little to no difference in actual cabins or amenities (on the same ship). Mostly, a mini is a mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCcruisecrazy Posted August 13, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Thanks for the words...that helps. I thought it may be location dependent, but wanted to make sure. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted August 13, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2018 It isn't just location, across the fleet M1, M2, M4 and M6 = Club Class. Book one of these cabins and you will receive all the Club Class benefits including the most important Club Class dining. Interior layouts of mini suites on each ship are the same. Any exception is noted in red on the Princess deck plans when you click on a specific cabin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB123 Posted August 14, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I have a MB on the STAR. So, does that indicate it's location is close to a MA (CC) suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted August 14, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I have a MB on the STAR. So, does that indicate it's location is close to a MA (CC) suite? On the Star M1 (Club Class) are mid ship on deck 9. MB minis are those cabins forward and aft of the M1's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all this talk of upsells, It looks like we would be in line for a CC room. :D Hey, I can dream can't I? :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted August 14, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 14, 2018 They used to be for location but as stated there are now different factors involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any exception is noted in red on the Princess deck plans when you click on a specific cabin. You must look at the specific ship deck plans to find where each category of cabin is located. The deck plans they show you when booking a cruise, do not have the M1, BB, IA, etc. designations. https://www.princess.com/deckPlans.do?shipCode=TP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select a cabin and the category is shown in the upper right of the screen. But, it is better to review the deck plans before you book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OR_Cowboy_1952 Posted August 15, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Under the current princess cabin type designation “M” always denoted a Mini-Suite. The second digit denotes the classification of the mini-suite. the most common classification is A thru F. An MA mini suite is in a better location on the ship (midship and higher up) than a MF (and often costs more). As above M1, M2, and M4 include Club Class services. M6 is a Premium Mini-suite and includes Club Class. MY is a ocean view Mini-suite large but no balcony. Generally the M2, M4, M6, and MY are uncommon cabin types, some on available on one or a few ships. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many passengers have their own definitions of what are better locations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-anything is a mini-suite An "MA" is thought to be in a more desirable position than an "MB", "MB" than "MC", etc If they add Club Class service to an "MA", it gets redesignated as an "M1"; "MB" becomes "M2", etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And once you stay in a full suite 500 sq feet or larger it is tuff on the wife to step down lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
