What's the difference between catergory 5,6 & 7 Staterooms?

I can see that category 7 has what's described as a Navigator's Verandah, which is presumably somehow inferior to the other verandahs - ?

Also, what's the difference between categories 5 & 6?

the only difference is location. cat 7 has an enclosed veranda. space wise they have the same space.cat 6 is on deck 6 and cat 5 is on deck 7. cat 7 is on deck's 5,6,7. all on the back of the boat. i hope this helps. take cat 7 or 6 you will love it. oh yeah the other difference is the cost. we are getting connecting cat 7's on our Dec 05 cruise and its a stateroom we have wanted since our first cruise last year. any stateroom with a veranda is great. heck any room on the wonder or magic is great

The floor plan inside is identical for cat.5-7.
Cat. 5-6 are also identical as to the veranda the only difference is which deck they are on, cat.5 is only on deck seven but Cat.6 can be on deck 5 or deck 6.
We have stayed in a cat.6 twice and a cat 5 and there was no difference at all in the rooms. Infact one Cat6 was on deck five while on a different cruise we were on deck 6. I did not notice any difference in "motion" what have you from deck 7 vs. 6 or 5.

A cat. 7 cabin is a navigators veranda. What that means is it has an obstructed view. This can either be due to one of the four reclassified cat. 5/6 or the "port hole" verandas, all are aft.
By porthole I mean the traditional navigators veranda, instead of being wide open with a plexiglass or metal rail they have a wooden frame and a large open porthole on the veranda.
some people prefer them as they are more private.

The other difference is that the Cat. 5 & 6 rooms sleep 3 or 4 people, while the Cat. 7 rooms only sleep 3.
