| Are
the ships still divided by class? |
No, almost every ship has common
areas. You’ll eat the same food in the same dining rooms and sit
together at the same shows.

| If
there aren’t classes, then how come there is such a variety in rates? |
It’s the cabins. Your cabin’s size,
bed arrangement, view and location will determine your rate. The
small lower, inside cabins are the least expensive. As you move
to the outside and/or move up decks, your rates will increase. The
upper deck suites with the outside verandas are the most expensive.

| If
I can get the same food and entertainment as the people in the expensive
cabins, then shouldn’t everyone book the cheapest cabins? I won’t
be in my cabin much anyway, right? |
Not everyone will be happy in those
cabins and a little extra cost could make for a much better vacation.
You will spend some time in your cabin and it will be your home
for the entire cruise, so space is an important consideration. You’ll
have to decide if the price difference is worth it to you. The Cruise
Lines price in gradients so you might spend a little more to get
a porthole or a more convenient location to save some steps. If
you always stay in the suite at the nicest hotels, don’t expect
the smallest cabin to make you happy.
