The cruise line seperates the different categories (Inside, Oceanview, Balcony) into subcategories. The only difference in the subcategories is usually location on the ship. The detail above shows subcategory color, category name, and subcategory name. For detailed information, mouse over a cabin on the deck plans and a pop up window will appear. You will find diagrams, pictures and information about that cabin category including square footage and features.

Royal Caribbean uses a number followed by letter to denote the type of cabin. Cabins are ranked from the lowest number first to the highest number and also from the lowest letter first to the highest letter. Therefore a category that begins with 1 is consider a better cabin choice than one that begins with 3. The type of cabin is defined by the letter that appears after the number.

Letters Q and R define a spacious inside cabin that is good for families. Letter T defines a promenade view stateroom. Letters U,V,W define a interior cabin.

Spacious oceanview cabins are defined by letter K. Panoramic oceanview cabins are defined with the letters P and L. Letters M, N defines a Oceanview cabin. Letter S defines a boardwalk view cabin.

Family balconies are defined by the letter A. Spacious balconies are defined by the letter B. Regular balcony cabins use the letters C,D,E,F. A Boardwalk view balcony uses the letters I,J.

Here are some tips that you should keep in mind when looking for cabins on this deck. There may be other issues that we haven't noted, and if you are aware of any issues we have not listed, please contact us and let us know so that we can add it to the list.

Deck: Deck 8
* The balcony of cabins 8540 and forward on the starboard side and 8040 and forward will view part of the balcony on the deck below when looking down.
* All indented balconies (where the deck narrows) on this deck will look down on metal roof from deck 6 below extending by 8 to 10 feet. (This roof covers the lifeboats).
* Cabins 8662, 8664, 8666 and cabins 8162, 8164 and 8166 view is partially blocked by the structure of the ship or cleaning equipment. 8666 and 8166 are more enclosed by metal hull of ship and will have less railing space as a result and view from cabin partially blocked
* Cabins 8590 to 8600 are hump cabins (cabins where the deck widens) and have good views when looking down from the balcony and also looking side to side.
* Cabins near the Centrum may hear noise from that area.
* Balconies that face aft of ship tend to be warmer than other balconies during cold weather crusing.
* The cabins on this deck are above and below decks with only cabins on them. This means that they tend to have less noise issues from public areas on the ship.
