What you will find is not the current cabin category description for BB and BC categories. oxford st hotels london According to that webpage, BB and BC will be recategorized in 2014, and that is what is what is reflected on the that webpage. For voyages departing before 16 May 2014 (M405A), you need to look somewhere else for a description of BB and BC categories.
Sad news for anyone who booked an upcoming voyage through their travel agent in a BB Cat Guarantee based on what Cunard calls the latest Deckplan - instead of booking the glass fronted balcony they thought they were booking, they'll be in an in-hull balcony. Bait and switch, or just another website oxford st hotels london flaw ?
According to the old deck plans that I have, the BB category staterooms were all on decks 4,5,and 6 and on the new plans these are called BC category. oxford st hotels london The new BB category is the old BC on decks 8, 11, and 12.

Thanks Scrapnana, I'm familiar with the old category, and what you stated was also my understanding of the new BB category, but that turned out not to be the case. I booked a BB category Guarantee on an up-coming cruise, but I was recently assigned an in-hull balcony. When I enquired, I was told that the cabin categories had been changed.
Would you please point me to an official Cunard website that defines the new cabin category oxford st hotels london locations? As I wrote previously, the current deckplans on the Cunard website oxford st hotels london do not reflect the actual descriptions of current BB / BC categories.Thank you .

Thank you. I also looked at the deck plans from another site, but the cabin categories were incorrect based on what I was told by a Cunard rep today. The Cunard website as cited above is also incorrect, as confirmed by the Cunard rep and my travel agent.
What I suspect is going on is here that Cunard has taken note of the potential glitch in the current categories which we have discussed before. oxford st hotels london Under the current arrangement, the lower midship sheltered balconies are category BB which could be considered an upgrade oxford st hotels london from the higher forward glass-fronted oxford st hotels london balconies in category BC.
The new system resolves that potential problem by switching those two categories around. After this change, the forward glass-fronted balconies will have the higher category designation BB, so one will no longer run the risk of being upgraded from an unobstructed glass-fronted balcony to a sheltered balcony.

Hi Aussieflyer. When I spoke with a Cunard rep about this, she said I could speak to my travel agent about paying for an upgrade if one was available. But I'm not going to pay more for what I thought I had aready booked. My travel agent advised me that the in-hull balcony is the final cabin assignment for my upcoming cruise. oxford st hotels london I haven't made final payment yet on the second cruise I booked for this year as Cunard has given me a lot to think about! -S.

First, thank you for starting this very informative thread. Second, how very disappointing (and upsetting) to book a certain cabin category, and through no fault of your own, to discover it was not the proper oxford st hotels london category you desired.

No, I am not seeing any changes other than balcony categories BB and BC being swapped. oxford st hotels london Here is the statement that mentions categories BB and BC on the new deck plans. No other categories are mentioned.
For stateroom grades BB and BC on voyages departing before 16 May 2014 (M405A) please refer to the deck plans online, as the staterooms have been recategorised for 2014 and are reflected here. Regards,

Unless I'm reading this all wrong, you say you've booked a BB for an upcoming oxford st hotels london cruise and have been assigned an in-hull balcony oxford st hotels london cabin. So you have been given what you booked surely? BB this year = in-hull. Next year the BB cat will be a BC glass-fronted oxford st hotels london balcony.

Admittedly, that was really quite silly of me to think that was the current deckplan. I knew the cabin categories changed in May, and I though the latest deckplan reflected that, but what I now think is that apparently there will be another change, if what is refelected on the latest deckplan is in fact accurate. There has been no announcement by Cunard, so maybe there'll be no change and the latest oxford st hotels london deckplan (the one that isn't current oxford st hotels london but may be the future deckplan ) will disappear from whence it came.
BTW, during my telephone conversation with the Cunard rep, I asked her to take a look at the latest oxford st hotels london deckplan on the Cunard site. It was the first time she had seen it. She said it was wrong, and had no idea why it was there. We've been hearing about problems with the website she said. After a few seconds pause, we both laughed since that had to be the understatement of the year!
When she told me that, having booked a BB Cat Guarantee, I would have a glass fronted balcony oxford st hotels london on Deck 6, I knew the conversation was going nowhere. (Nice lady though, very polite and a good sense of humour.)
