What do the categories mean?

[GenieDana]

I am booked in Category 8 for rooms 5502, 5504 and 5506 in June. I don't understand the differnce between these categories (they don't match the deck / room numbers), so what do they mean?

I'm a first timer so please bear with me...Thanks!

Categories on DCL range from 12 to 1 with 12 being the lowest(?!) and 1 being the highest.
The differences may be in size or in location & if the room has a verandah, a windoe, or is interior and how many it can sleep.
The DCL web site has a pop-up tour and Barb's site has some great pictures of the different categories.

Hi GenieDana and welcome to the Cruise Board!

The cabin categories relate to the size of the cabin and the amenities included. They range from the Category 1-3 suites (all on Deck 8) to the Category 12 cabins (on Deck 2).

A Cat. 8 is a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with a LARGE porthole window. They are located on decks 5, 6 and 7. A cabin category number has no correlation to the deck number.

I hope that helps a little!

The great thing is that no matter what category you are in, you will still get the same great service. Cats. 1, 2, and 3 have concierge service, but with 4 through 12 the difference is in your stateroom size and whether it's inside or outside. It's nothing like the different classes of the Titanic days.
