Categories 5 vs. 6 - what's the difference?

[2under4]

We are going on the Eastern cruise on 2/5, and are booked mid-ship in a cat 5 room. Are we going to be happy about our room choice? What is the difference between category 5 & 6 except price? : :

that would be the deck in which they are located...cat 5s are on deck 7...cat 6s are on deck 5 and 6.....

We've cruised in both Cat.5s and 6s. There is no difference between them in layout, only deck location. We just stayed in 7570 (Cat. 5 midship) and had a wonderful trip. The only downside is that you may have a longer walk to your cabin if you are midship. Not a big deal (unless you're like me and forget things in the cabin that you need to go back and retrieve ).

Enjoy your trip!

Hmm. We are booked for 7556. So even though it is sort of "mid ship" at a glance, perhaps we are okay b/c we'll be pretty close to an elevator bank.

PS - I think I would forget my head most days if it wasn't attached, so being close to elevators is probably a good thing!

You're in a great location! Enjoy!

I think there is a difference in the cat 6 vs Cat 5. Not the room size but when you book a cat 5 you have many less people ( look at the photo samples of each dech and see the difference of how many total rooms there are on deck 6 vs 7) then on deck 7, so therefore it has less noise and has less foot traffic. If the ship is really full it could be a difference of 100+. Which can make a real difference to some people.
Hope this helps
