Disney Dream & Fantasy: Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator's Verandah

• Sleeps: 3 to 4
• Size: 246 sq ft
• Room Configuration: queen bed, single sleeper sofa, and for rooms that sleep 4 there is an upper-berth pull-down bed also.
• View: private navigator’s verandah with limited views
• Located on decks 5 – 9, only Forward and Aft, no Midship options
• Most affordable stateroom that provides private verandah

Sleeper Sofa & Upper Berth Bed

Disney Cruise Line has literally thought of everything when it comes to ensuring your family has the best comfort and convenience during your sailing. As you can see in the layout, there is a sitting area, which has a heavy curtain that can be pulled to separate that area from the queen bed. This is great news, since the couch converts to a bed, with the upper-berth pull-down bed above it. That means that the parents can have a little privacy from the kids at night! If you have a family of 4, your stateroom hostess will pull down the upper-berth bed from the ceiling for every evening, and put it back every morning! Once that upper-berth is pulled down, you can see on the ceiling a mural of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy and her brothers flying through the starry sky that the kids are sure to love!

Bathroom & Storage

There is also a full bathroom with vanity, sink and shower/tub combo. What you can’t see from the layout is that the queen bed frame is elevated, allowing for under-bed storage for suitcases and other large items so they are not in your way, as well storage inside the ottoman!

Port of Call Port of Call (Arrival, Departure)

Fort Lauderdale

Ft Lauderdale is a city of islands held together by an intricate web of canals, rivers, bays and waterways hundreds of miles long. Needless to say, boating is a favorite city pastime, whether zooming along on a speedboat, enjoying a fishing charter, or cruising the coastline by yacht. Beautiful homes of every size and style make up the bulk of this primarily residential area. By the beach, a leisurly stroll can be taken along the new landscaping wavewall design of the beachfront promenade. But this city is anything but sedate. Once a spring break hot spot, the town still has an energetic and colorful nightlife. Nearby, charming Laudrdale-By-the-Sea is home to one of the only living coral reefs in the US accesible from shore. Las Olas Boulevard, a shoppers paradise, is the chic new shopping and trendy dining area of downtown. If sports are more your inclination, dozens of golf courses and hundreds of public parks allow you to absorb the great Florida outdoors. Cultural arts are also popular. Water taxis bring theater-goers from throughout the city to the Performing Arts Center on the water.

Lighthouse Point

Lighthouse Point, Bahamas, or simply Lighthouse Point, is a private peninsula in The Bahamas which serves as an exclusive port for the Disney Cruise Line ships. It is located in the south-eastern region of Bannerman Town, Eleuthera. In March 2019, The Walt Disney Company purchased the peninsula from the Bahamian government, giving the company control over the area.

Nassau, the capital of The Bahamas, located on New Providence Island and Freeport, located on Grand Bahama Island offer a variety of experiences from non-stop excitement to peaceful relaxation. Nassau is the center of industry, commerce and communications and presents a special charm which captures the elegance of the old world while at the same time incorporating up-to-the-minute modern features. Here one will find well-preserved colonial buildings, exciting attractions, duty free shopping, one of the largest straw markets in the Caribbean, thrilling land and sea sports, pristine beaches, delightful cuisine and unique cultural activities. Beautiful Paradise Island is linked to Nassau by bridge and has gorgeous beaches, luxury hotels, a large casino and first class entertainment.

Stateroom Guide: Disney Dream & Disney Fantasy

By Alisha Molen

So, you’ve decided you’ll be sailing on either the Disney Dream  or the Disney Fantasy .

Now, it’s time to decide which stateroom is right for you.

First things first though…

Did you review our primer on How to Choose a Disney Cruise Stateroom ?

In that guide, I explain:

• The four different kinds of staterooms available on a Disney Cruise
• What comes standard in every Disney Cruise stateroom
• What is NOT included in your stateroom
• What do these strange category numbers mean for each stateroom?
• How many guests can sleep in a stateroom
• And lastly...our recommended method for selecting a stateroom

If you haven’t read it yet, I strongly recommend you read that guide first , as that will give you the background information you need about Disney Cruise staterooms.

Ready to go forward?

Awesome ...you’re now ready to evaluate the various stateroom options available on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy cruise ships.

Table of Contents

Inside staterooms, oceanview staterooms, verandah staterooms, concierge staterooms.

• "Secret" Staterooms

Inside staterooms are the most budget-friendly options onboard the Dream and the Fantasy.

They are usually the smallest staterooms and do not offer a window or balcony to the outside.

However, you get something pretty cool that oceanview and verandah staterooms don't have:  Magical Portholes!

Magical Portholes

All inside staterooms on both the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy have Magical Portholes that show a real-time view of the outside just as if you did have a porthole.

If you have a starboard stateroom, you get the actual , current starboard view displayed on your Magical Porthole (LCD flat-screen monitor) Pretty nifty if you ask me!

Oh, and make sure to watch for little surprises that might float by.

And when you are ready for bed, just flip a switch to turn it off.

Two Variations of Inside Staterooms

There are two variations of Inside Staterooms: Standard and Deluxe .

One important difference between these variations is the bathroom configuration:

The Standard Inside staterooms offer a full bath while Deluxe Inside provide a split bath.

A full bath is where the tub/shower, toilet, and sink are all in one room.

A split bathroom means there are basically two bathrooms which is so helpful when multiple people are getting ready. One has a toilet and a sink, and the other has a tub/shower and a sink. 

Below are more details about the “Standard” and “Deluxe” variations of Inside Staterooms and how they differ:

Standard Inside Staterooms: Disney Dream & Disney Fantasy

Standard inside stateroom images.

Images: Disney Cruise Line

Deluxe Inside Staterooms: Disney Dream & Disney Fantasy

Deluxe inside stateroom images.

Oceanview Staterooms found on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy are called "Deluxe Oceanview" and "Deluxe Family Oceanview".

The difference?

Deluxe Family Oceanview rooms are slightly bigger in square footage and can sleep up to 5 guests.

All Oceanview cabins are very similar to the Deluxe Inside Staterooms, except they offer a real porthole with a view outside of the ship.

Here are the specifications:

Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms: Disney Dream & Disney Fantasy

Deluxe oceanview stateroom images, deluxe family oceanview staterooms: disney dream & disney fantasy.

Room Notes:

• Categories 8B, 8C, 8D have round tubs with rainfall shower heads
• 5018, 5518, 6012, 6510 and 6512
• Privacy wall divider in rooms 5020, 5022, 5520 and 5522, or a
• Vertical pole in rooms 6014, 6016, 6512 and 6514

If you want to be able to sit outside on a private open-air balcony, then a Verandah Stateroom is the way to go.

There are 3 kinds of verandahs:

Standard Verandah . Features an open-air balcony skirted by an acrylic wall, offering a full view of the horizon even while seated. ( Found in Categories 5A, 5B, 5C, 5D. Category 5E have oversized verandahs, facing off back of the ship)

Standard Verandah - Img: Disney Cruise Line

Whitewall Verandah . Provides open-air lounging with a solid wall from the deck to the railing. Most of these staterooms are located in the aft of the ship. (Found in Category 6A, 6B)

Whitewall Verandah - Img: Disney Cruise Line

Navigator's Verandah.  Enclosed for greater privacy, while still delivering a stunning view and sea breezes through a large, open-air porthole above the railing. (Found in Category 7A)

Navigator's Verandah - Img: Disney Cruise Line

About Connecting Verandah Staterooms

On most connecting verandah staterooms, the outside partitions can be opened to create an even more spacious balcony with access between rooms. Contact your stateroom host to unlock the partitions.

Two Variations of Verandah Staterooms

There are two variations of Verandah Staterooms: Deluxe and Deluxe Family.

The difference? Deluxe Family offers a little more square footage and can sleep up to 5 (instead of only 4).

Below are more details about the “Deluxe” and “Deluxe Family” variations of Verandah Staterooms and how they differ:

Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah: Disney Dream & Disney Fantasy

Deluxe oceanview with verandah stateroom images, deluxe family oceanview staterooms with verandah: disney dream & disney fantasy.

• Categories 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D have round tubs with rainfall shower heads
• Category 4E can only sleep 3 to 4 guests and has an oversized verandah that is about 2.5 times bigger than the standard verandah.
• Category 4 staterooms have standard verandahs with clear Plexiglas walls.

Deluxe Family Oceanview with Verandah Stateroom Images

If you’re looking for a splurge to make your Disney Cruise even more magical, take a peek at the Concierge Staterooms .

These lavish cabins are a dream!

On top of the extra room in these suites, you’ll get access to extra amenities, such as:

• Down duvets
• Plush robes and slippers
• Elemis spa products
• Complimentary WiFi service (up to 100mb)
• Dedicated Concierge team
• Access to the Concierge Lounge and Sundeck
• The earliest check-in, giving the ability to begin booking reservations 120 days prior to sail date

Talk about luxury!

Here’s what the different cabins include:

Concierge Family Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah: Disney Dream & Disney Fantasy

Concierge family oceanview verandah images, concierge 1-bedroom suites with verandah: disney dream & disney fantasy, concierge 1-bedroom suites verandah images, concierge royal suites with verandah: disney dream & disney fantasy, concierge royal suites verandah images, secret staterooms.

Have you heard about Disney’s “ Secret Staterooms "?

So why is it a secret?

Well, because you get a higher category cabin for the price of a lesser category cabin.

Basically, you get more for your money on these unadvertised staterooms.

Yes! I love Disney secrets and I love saving money even more!  

Secret Verandah Staterooms

Both the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy have 24   secret verandah staterooms  that are priced as Category 7 but are really Category 5 and 6.

Most of these rooms have a standard verandah but some sort of partially obstructed view because of an overhand that cuts off some of your view. Some views are less obstructed than others.

But listen up...

If you want one of these Secret Verandah staterooms, you better plan on booking early as these cabins have become very popular.

In the chart below I have listed the staterooms in order of least to most obstructed views.    

Secret Verandah Staterooms: Disney Dream & Disney Fantasy

Rooms to avoid.

I haven't stayed in these rooms but from what I've read you might want to steer clear of 5024 and 5524.

The extended verandah of the cabin next door blocks your view and provides neighbors with a clear view into your stateroom from their verandah.

See video tour of Disney Dream 5524 below:

Triangular Verandah

There are two more 7A staterooms that don’t have an obstruction, but have a smaller (they call it undersized) triangular verandah. These are staterooms 5188 & 5688. Chairs do not fit on the verandah but there is a bench to sit on and enjoy the view.

Back to the Mouse

Disney dream stateroom 7170.

We recently went on a 5-Night Double Dip at Castaway Cay Sailing on the Disney Dream.  We stayed in Stateroom 7170 which is a Category 07A – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator’s Verandah located on Deck 7 Port (Left) side.  The verandah for the stateroom has an obstruction (metal) near the top. We were assigned this room because we selected a Guaranteed Rate Restricted Verandah Rate, which saved us about 30% off the price of the cruise.

We have sailed in this identical room on the Disney Fantasy as well. 

Here are our pictures of the room:

• Jul 4, 2022

We are staying in a Deluxe Oceanview stateroom with a veranda on the Wish. It’s a category 7 and the description says the veranda may have an obstructed view. Has anyone seen pictures or a video? I’m curious as to how much of an obstruction there is. Thank you.  

DIS Veteran

• Jul 21, 2022

Thank you! I’d love a pic after you sail. Have fun!  

Earning My Ears

• Jul 22, 2022

We actually stayed in the "Navigator's Verandah" on deck 9 forward, starboard side (9514). It was great. The obstruction is so minimal it was unnoticeable to us. Unlike the Magic or Wonder these have glass so it is nicer in that respect.

Some of the 7A’s have very minimal obstruction, and some have more. The ones with the most obstruction cover, to my eye, just under half of the verandah: 7022, 7174, 7518 and 7670. There are also two with no obstruction, but an odd-shaped, smaller verandah: 7194 and 7690. The rest have pretty minor obstruction, IMO.

The room is awesome, I booked a GT 9B but got upgraded to 7A so no complaints! They also gave us an awesome tote bag that my wife loved.

Room # GTY, Category 07A

This is my first Disney cruise. I'm going with 2 cousin's who have sailed with Disney before. Our stateroom number is: Stateroom: # GTY, Category 07A. Room category: Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator's Verandah.

What does GTY mean? And when do we find out what our stateroom number is? When we booked the guy kept saying we would probably upgraded. We are sailing 12-20 on the Fantasy.

Thanks in advance!

This is my first Disney cruise. I'm going with 2 cousin's who have sailed with Disney before. Our stateroom number is: Stateroom: # GTY, Category 07A. Room category: Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator's Verandah.   What does GTY mean? And when do we find out what our stateroom number is? When we booked the guy kept saying we would probably upgraded. We are sailing 12-20 on the Fantasy.   Thanks in advance!

When DCL starts taking reservations for any given cruise, once a certain percentage of rooms within any given category has been booked, the category goes "GTY" (guarantee). It means that, while you can still select the specific category, you cannot select a specific room. DCL will assign you a room later in your specific category. Or, POSSIBLY, in a higher category. But you are guaranteed that you will have at least a room in the category you booked (in your case a 7A - Navigator's Verandah).

GTY assignments typically appear somewhere in the 45-60 day window prior to the cruise. But any guarantee booking can be assigned at any time between the original booking date up to, and including, embarkation day.

You won't get a notification that your room has been assigned. You'll just see it when you check your reservation online (if it gets assigned ahead of time).

Thanks so much!

We are sailing on the 11/1/14 Fantasy. We booked a GTY 7a. Just last week, DCL assigned a cabin - 5a. Nice upgrade.

We finally got our stateroom number... #8154. Looking at the deck plans it looks like it is at the back of the ship. When I mouse over the room it says "deluxe oceanview stateroom with verandah category 05B" but down below it says "Room #8154 category 07A." What is the difference? Is it an upgrade? We were suppose to have a "navigator's verandah. (Mind you, I'm not complaining. LOL)

monorailmedic

The cabin you're currently assigned is def a 5B. The old cateogry is likely still shown since that is the category of your reservation. Please note a couple things 1) most GTY bookings don't result in an upgrade and 2) just because the cabin has been assigned doesn't mean it can't change (not likely, but keep it in mind).

A 5B has a standard verandah so you won't have the whitewall/navigator verandah that is seen in your original category.

Congrats on the upgrade! We are cruising with you as well

Very cool! There are 3 of us, adults. All cousins. We are getting sooooo excited!

Yes, you got an upgrade to a cat 5.

DCL continues to show the category you booked on your reservation regardless of what you were ultimately assigned. While it rarely happens, you CAN be reassigned after your cabin shows up on line. In addition, if you should choose to upgrade further at the port, you will be charged based on the category you originally booked and paid for, not from what you were assigned.

No. If you ask, you pay. If DCL upgrades you, it's free.

I will point out that asking for an upgrade (upsell, really) at the port, the cost difference is typically less than upgrading before your embarkation day.

As above--if DCL gives it, it is free. If you ask for it, there will be a fee attached. No free upgrades at the port. THose from Disney occur in advance with very few exceptions. You may learn that you got an upgrade when you get to the port (typically when you are checking in or entering the terminal area and the info on the manifest doesn't match what you thought you had....but DCL assigned it in advance.

I was upgraded last time with a guarentted rate, so counting my blessings. I'm fine with my current 7a assinged room. I was just wondering. No worries!

The Best Staterooms in Each of the 10 Categories on a Disney Cruise in 2022

There are a lot of stateroom choices on a  Disney Cruise !  You may think there should be three simple choices:  inside, oceanview, or verandah – but it’s nowhere near that cut and dry.  Each of those three stateroom types has several different classifications of staterooms!  Disney has thirty-one various categories of staterooms.

Beginning in 2022, some of the categories have new names, and some staterooms have been recategorized.  Disney is standardizing everything in anticipation of their third class of ships – the Triton Class, which kicks off in 2022 with the Disney Wish!  In fact, hopefully soon I will write another new blog post, with stateroom recommendations for the Wish!

A few of the same ground rules and guidelines first:

– I’m not going to recommend accessible staterooms.  If you need an accessible stateroom, there are options in almost every category.  If you don’t need one, pick something else.

– If you don’t need a connecting stateroom, try to avoid them.  I have stayed in a few different staterooms with a connecting door and we could hear the guests on the other side almost as if they were in our stateroom.

– While I will give some specific stateroom numbers in some cases, in other cases I’ll just give general guidance.  It’s always good planning to check a review of the particular stateroom you have in mind.  There are some staterooms out there that have noise or vibration issues.  There are also some right above the theaters or the nightclubs.  You probably want to avoid those.

– To find stateroom reviews, use Google or check a site like Disney Cruise Line Blog.  Scott Sanders has a  good list of reviews  going over there.  A quick search may save you some headaches on board!

– Finally, the staterooms on the  Dream  and  Fantasy  will be the same, so I will address those staterooms as the Dream Class.  Similarly, the  Magic  and  Wonder  have the same types of staterooms, so I will address them as the Magic Class.

With the recategorization, all categories are now broken down further with letters like A, B, C, D and E. The letters generally distinguish where on the ship the staterooms are located, with the letter A being the typically most desired location – mid-ship and/or on a higher deck.

1. Concierge Suites –

Category 1A – Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah (Formerly Category R) – Recognizing that a Royal Suite is out of reach for most mere mortals, I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge they are the best staterooms on the ship.  There is no room for debate, people.  Whether we are talking Dream or Magic Class, these are the best staterooms on the ship and there are no bad options in this category.  I’m a fan of starboard side for the Magic Class if I had to pick one.  The Royal Suites on the Magic Class sleep 7 and aren’t quite as open and airy as the Dream Class which sleep 5, but all are amazing.  For the Dream Class, the two suites are different.  The Roy O. Disney Suite (12502) is starboard, and the Walter E. Disney Suite (12002) is port side.  The living areas are almost identical, but the bedroom and bathroom layouts are different.  In the Roy, the bedroom is on the exterior of the suite, and the master bathroom is on the interior, so the bedroom has beautiful windows and light.  In the Walt, the master bathroom is on the exterior and gets all that beautiful light, while the bedroom is more interior.  There are benefits to both, and it’s really a personal preference.  I preferred the Walt, but certainly would not have been sad in either one!

Category 1B – Concierge 2-Bedroom Suite with Verandah (Formerly Category S) – There are only two 2-bedroom suites, and they are found only on the Magic Class.  The only difference between them is starboard (right) or port (left) side. I’d give a slight edge to the starboard side of the ship if you are sailing to Castaway Cay because I love those island views when docked for your day in paradise.

Category 2A or 2B –  1-Bedroom Suite (2A or 2B) with Verandah (Formerly Category T) – On the Dream Class, there is only one 2A, and it’s spectacular.  It’s stateroom 12000, and it’s located between the two Royal Suites forward on the ship.  This room has a huge verandah, and stunning views.  This room is often held back during the initial release to see if either of the Royal Suite occupants would like to add it on (it’s connected to both via a hallway of sorts), but it will pop into inventory regularly.  You (or your travel agent) just need to keep an eye out!  The 2Bs on the Dream Class are also amazing, and there are 6 with oversized verandahs.  They’re located on a bumpout of the ship and the verandahs are huge!  They are staterooms 12006, 12012, 12506, 12512, 11006, and 11002.  For the absolute best view of Castaway Cay, book 12512.  On the Dream Class, I also slightly prefer the concierge staterooms on deck 12, over deck 11, because they have easier access to the concierge lounge and sundeck.  On the Magic Class, I’d recommend the 2As.  These four staterooms have a slightly different layout which puts the twin pull-down bed in the living room instead of in the master bedroom like the 2Bs.  I greatly prefer the master bedroom to have its own closed-off space, especially when you’re putting children to bed early.

2. Category 3A – Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (Formerly Category V) –Category 3A staterooms are essentially category 4 staterooms with concierge soft goods and concierge service.  On the Magic Class, I still prefer starboard side if visiting Castaway Cay.  On the Dream Class, I have the same starboard answer, while also recommending one of the staterooms on the bumpout.  Those are 12008, 12010, 12508, 12510, and 11004.  If you are traveling with the party in stateroom 12512, definitely book 12510 to open the verandah partition in between the two staterooms for a super-sized-amazing-Castaway-Cay-views-of-glory stateroom combination.  BTW, that is an official term.

3. Category 4 – Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah – Category 4 staterooms are the biggest non-concierge staterooms on the ships. The word “Family” in the title means the stateroom is slightly longer and sleeps up to five.  On the Dream Class, it also means they have a round bathtub instead of the standard rectangular one found in most staterooms.  4Es on the Dream Class are a notable exception to those rules.  4Es on the Dream Class only sleep four, and are the same size as category 5 staterooms, not the extended family size, nor do they have the round tubs.  They do, however, have GIANT verandahs.  For 2022, Disney reclassified most of the 5E staterooms as category 4E. That actually makes sense.  Those 5Es were just like the 4Es, they were just on the far aft (back) of the ship.  So now my favorite 4Es would be those that are located aft because of the great views.  Some of the rooms on the corners have even bigger verandahs!  4Es on the Magic Class follow the rules of the other 4s – the stateroom sleeps up to 5 and their verandahs are not giant.  Their verandahs do have a solid white metal wall instead of clear Plexiglas below the railing.  I’d avoid 4Es on the Magic Class for that reason, while I’d certainly do 4Es on the Dream Class for those ginormous verandahs.  Disney reclassified many category 4 rooms for 2022, eliminating 4D, recategorizing some of those as 4C, and some 4Cs became 4Bs.

4. Category 5 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah – Category 5 is my go-to stateroom. They are all standard-size staterooms with unobstructed verandahs. Disney reclassified several of them, recategorizing most 5Es to 4Es as discussed above, and eliminating 5Ds.  Some 5Ds are now 5Cs, some 5Cs are now 5Bs.  I avoid deck 10 on the Dream Class as a general rule (there are some pool deck noise issues in some rooms on deck 10), but otherwise I like all of the category 5s!

5. Category 6 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (Undersized, Obstructed View, or White Wall) – Category 6 staterooms are like category 5 staterooms, but they all have either an undersized, obstructed, or white wall verandah. Some of these differences are minor, so if you want to save a little from a category 5, category 6 may be for you. On the Dream Class, some of the 6Bs are on the aft of the ship, so those would be my choice because of the great views!  Category 6 staterooms on deck six have slightly larger verandahs on Magic Class, so I’d recommend those!  5650 and 5150 also have giant verandahs on the Magic Class!

6. Category 7 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator’s Verandah – There is a significant difference between the Dream and Magic Class category 7s. A Navigator’s verandah on the Magic Class is a mostly enclosed verandah, with a large circular or oval window-type opening cut out for viewing purposes. On the Dream Class, it’s just a slightly obstructed view from the verandah.  These are slightly more obstructed than the category 6s, thus the category 7 designation.  There are two on the aft (5188 and 5688) that have small verandahs, but great views!  On the Magic Class, there are four that are not fully enclosed.  I’d pick one of those!  They are staterooms 6134, 6634, 7120, and 7620.

7. Category 8 – Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom – Starting with category 8s, these staterooms no longer have a verandah. There are no category 8s on the Magic Class, only the Dream Class.  Once again, the word “Family” means they are bigger staterooms that sleep up to 5 and have round tubs. They also have very large portholes with seating!  The exceptions are 8As.  And what an exception they are!  8As are almost like suites with two large portholes with lots of space, and many have a divider of some kind between the bed and seating area.  I’d wholeheartedly recommend any of the 8As!  Not all have bathtubs, and some are more divided than others, so do your research before picking which one works for you.  Disney recategorized the 8Ds for 2022, and now 8Ds are 8Cs, while 8Cs are 8Bs.

8. Category 9 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom – Category 9s are your standard oceanview staterooms. Read – no verandahs.  On the Magic Class, I’d recommend avoiding deck 1 if staying in a category 9.  Deck 1 is a short deck with no access to the aft elevators.  The oceanview staterooms on deck 1 also have two small portholes instead of one larger porthole which greatly limits your view in my opinion.  The 9C staterooms that are all the way forward, like 2504 or 2510, also have a little bit more space due to the curvature of the ship!  On the Dream Class, we loved the 9Bs on deck 2 outside  Enchanted Garden .  It was an incredibly convenient location.  The Dream Class also has some large corner staterooms that are 9Ds.  They are 7006, 7504, 8006, and 8504.  You may also like the 9Cs and 9Ds that are forward with views of where the ship is headed.  The portholes are slanted with slightly obstructed views, but neat views all the same.

9. Category 10 – Deluxe Inside Stateroom – Category 10 inside staterooms are basically the same size and setup as category 9s, but they have no outside views. On the Dream Class, however, they do have virtual portholes, which gives a view (via camera) of what is happening outside (with some occasional Disney magic thrown in). The Magic Class has its own exciting unnamed category here – secret porthole staterooms!  That’s right, some of these inside staterooms actually have a window!  Disney did not classify them as oceanview staterooms because those window views are obstructed, some more than others.  If you want some natural light for the price of an inside stateroom, these are the staterooms for you.  Book 5020, 5022, 5024, 5520, 5522, or 5524 on the Magic Class.  Warning, these staterooms are more popular than a Dole Whip on sweltering day in Orlando, so book early!

10. Category 11 – Standard Inside Stateroom – Category 11 inside staterooms no longer carry the word “Deluxe” in the description and that’s mostly due to the bathroom. There are no split bathrooms in category 11 staterooms.  Split bathrooms are the standard in all the other categories, and they come with one bathroom with a toilet and sink, and one with a bathtub and sink.  While I highly recommend the split bath for families, there are some people who prefer having one larger bathroom as opposed to two smaller ones.  Additionally, on the Magic Class ships, there are some 11Bs with a “sideways” layout.  These staterooms are somewhat popular and feel a little roomier than the regular inside stateroom layouts.  Book one of those 18 staterooms for a unique experience.

That’s my breakdown!  Did I forget any that you can think of?  Do you have questions about any particular staterooms?  Just ask!

Is a 7-Night Disney Cruise Right for You?

Advantages: who it’s best for.

A 7-night Disney Cruise offers an ideal balance of adventure and relaxation. It’s particularly well-suited for:

• Multi-generational families seeking quality time together
• Disney enthusiasts wanting to fully immerse in the magic
• Couples looking for a romantic getaway with entertainment options
• Solo travelers eager to explore multiple destinations

Plenty of time for onboard activities | Image © Disney

Disadvantages: Who It Might Not Suit

While 7-night cruises are popular, they may not be ideal for everyone:

• Travelers with limited vacation time
• Those on a tight budget (shorter cruises are generally less expensive)
• People prone to seasickness or claustrophobia
• Individuals who prefer a more fast-paced, port-intensive itinerary
• Those who aren’t fans of structured entertainment or cruise ship environments

Is a 7-Night Disney Cruise Too Long?

For most guests, a week-long cruise hits the sweet spot. Here’s why:

• Ample Time to Unwind : The first day or two allows you to decompress, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the cruise
• Multiple Port Experiences : Visit 3-4 destinations without feeling rushed
• Opportunity to Try Everything : From specialty dining to adult-only areas, you can experience it all
• Better Value : Often more cost-effective per night than shorter cruises
• Flexible Pace : Enjoy busy days and relaxed ones without missing out

For shorter options, you can consider a 3-night Disney Cruise or a 4-night Disney Cruise . If you want more information about shorter voyages, check out our guide to the Shortest Disney Cruises .

Could a 7-Night Disney Cruise Be Too Short?

For some travelers, even a week might not be enough. Consider a longer cruise if:

• You’re combining multiple destinations (like Mediterranean and Greek Isles)
• You want to fully explore each port without feeling rushed
• You’re traveling from far away and want to maximize your time at sea
• You enjoy sea days and want more time to relax between port visits
• You’re celebrating a special occasion and want an extended escape

Remember, the ideal cruise length depends on your personal preferences, budget, and vacation goals. The Vacationeer can help you determine the best option for your needs.
