The 30-second answer
Conquest has a useful cabin ladder because the specialty categories change the physical experience in obvious ways. Ocean View is the straightforward window choice. Aft-View Extended and Premium Vista move the value outdoors. Premium Balcony adds both room and balcony space. Junior Suite opens the suite ladder, and Captain's Suite makes the biggest jump of all.
Ocean View
Choose it when daylight and a sea view matter but private outdoor space does not.
8M / 8N Aft-View
More balcony area and stern-side orientation make the wake part of the purchase.
9C Premium Vista
Wraparound balcony geometry is the reason to pay attention to this category.
Captain's Suite
Separate living room, two full bathrooms and a huge balcony create a genuinely different product.
Ocean View: do not assume Liberty matches every sister
Carnival's current Liberty stateroom menu lists conventional Ocean View and Ocean View (Obstructed View). It does not currently surface the Scenic Ocean View product on that live menu. That is exactly why a class guide should never substitute for the exact ship page.
The conventional window cabin
A straightforward picture-window room. Price it against Interior if daylight matters but a balcony does not.
Verify before buying
Carnival currently sells an Ocean View (Obstructed View) product on Liberty. Check the exact room rather than assuming the category name guarantees an open sightline.
Liberty is the case for verifying every sister independently.
The current live cabin menu is not identical to the pattern seen on several sisters. Use Liberty's current inventory rather than importing a category list from another ship.
Balconies: position, footprint or aft-corner geometry
Conquest's current deck plan separates standard Balcony 8A–8F, Aft-View Extended 8M/8N, Premium Balcony 9B and Premium Vista Balcony 9C. These are different purchases, not just progressively higher category codes.
Standard Balcony
The clean price baseline for every specialized balcony comparison.
Aft-View Extended
Carnival describes a larger balcony with stern-side views and the ship's wake.
Premium Balcony
Carnival describes both a spacious room and an oversized balcony. The footprint is the upgrade.
Premium Vista Balcony
The balcony wraps around the aft corner for a broader panoramic outdoor experience.
Suites: Conquest skips Junior Suite on its current legend
Carnival Liberty's current category legend lists Junior Suite JS, Ocean Suite OS, Grand Suite GS and Captain's Suite CS. That four-step ladder is Liberty's clearest cabin-map difference from Conquest, whose current legend begins at Ocean Suite.
Junior Suite
Liberty's Junior Suite is the smaller-footprint entry into the suite ladder: standard-size balcony, walk-in closet, whirlpool tub and the current suite benefit package.
Ocean Suite
More indoor space, large balcony, walk-in closet and a bathroom with whirlpool tub.
Grand Suite
More room again, with a huge balcony and dressing area with vanity.
Captain's Suite
Carnival describes a king bed, separate living room that sleeps another three, two full bathrooms and a huge balcony.
Conquest's exact view traps
Picture Window Interior
Carnival's current Liberty stateroom menu describes the walkway-facing picture-window view as partially obstructed.
Obstructed-view product
Carnival currently sells an Ocean View (Obstructed View) on Liberty. Verify the exact cabin on the current plan before purchase.
Ocean View (Obstructed View)
Carnival's current Conquest ship page separately sells an Ocean View obstructed-view product. The exact cabin number still matters.
Occupancy: the symbol beside the cabin number wins
Conquest's current deck plan assigns sleeping hardware cabin by cabin: single and double sofa beds, upper Pullmans, convertible bunks and fixed-bed arrangements. It separately marks connecting rooms and accessible configurations. The category code tells you the product family. The symbol beside the individual cabin tells you whether that room works for your party.
Read the berth symbol
Do not assume two cabins in the same category sleep the same number of people.
Connecting rooms
Carnival identifies connecting staterooms directly on the official plan.
FAC / FAC-SSA / AAC
The accessible plan distinguishes Fully Accessible, Single Side Approach and Ambulatory Accessible rooms.

How I would narrow Carnival Liberty cabins
Start with Ocean View
If you want daylight and a sea view without paying for private outdoor space, price the conventional Ocean View first.
Choose what changes
Standard for baseline value. 8M/8N for the wake. 9B for more room and balcony. 9C for the aft corner.
Conquest has no JS on the current legend
Compare OS, GS and CS rather than assuming a Junior Suite sits below them.
Finish on cabin number
Occupancy and obstruction warnings can come down to the exact room, not merely the category.
