What do the letters mean when referring to a grade of accommodation?

There are many stylish, comfortable, home from home types of accommodation on a P&O Cruises ship, so, to distinguish them from one another we’ve given each cabin type a two letter code called a "cabin grade".

Different cabin types are given codes to distinguish them from each other. The first letter of the grade refers to the cabin type, the second to signify their location on the ship. In general, the earlier in the alphabet the letters are, the more preferential the cabin will be. For example, a CA Mini Suite is more desirable than a CB Mini Suite, as it's more midship.

The codes for the grades types are as follows: 

The layouts of our ships are broken up into different sections to help you locate your cabin of choice. There is forward, mid forward, midship, mid aft and aft. This should then be combined with the location code:

Neither of the letters in any code will relate to a specific deck. 

All cabins have showers. Cabins/Suites with baths have a shower over the bath or a separate shower cubicle.

Views of obstructed view cabins can be seen under the question "What do the obstructed views look like on.... <ship name>"
