Disney Cruise Rooms: How to Choose the Perfect Stateroom

Jill Robbins

Suppose you’re considering a Disney Cruise for your next family vacation. In that case, you’ve probably clicked around a bit on Disney Cruise Line’s website to find the perfect ship and route that aligns with when you want to go on the ultimate Disney vacation.

Perhaps you’ve made it to stateroom selection, and now you’re stuck. What to choose? Choices can be intimidating and confusing, especially when you’re making decisions about high-dollar vacations, and yes, Disney Cruises are among the most expensive cruise vacations out there. How do you decide what’s the best stateroom – or staterooms – for your travel party? Do you go cheap and put the savings into another part of your vacation, or do you play that YOLO card and splurge on the most expensive?

Only you can decide how much money you’re willing to part with, but hopefully, I can make the decision-making process a little easier by breaking down the different Disney Cruise staterooms.

I’ve sailed on four of the five Disney Cruise Line vessels : The Disney Magic , the Disney Wonder , the Disney Dream , and the new  Disney Wish . My family is booked on the Disney Fantasy  for spring break 2024, bringing us to what’s known in Disney Cruise Line circles as a Grand Slam.

We’ve booked a variety of cabins, from the least expensive inside stateroom to a concierge 1-bedroom suite. I prefer concierge – because of course I do – but our budget doesn’t allow us to drop that kind of money every time we go on a cruise. I’ve found something to love about all the Disney Cruise Line staterooms we’ve stayed in, so let’s take a dive into the different room types.

About the 10 Different Categories of Staterooms

Disney uses numeric categories to classify their staterooms. It can be confusing for newbies who read cruise stateroom reviews to try and decipher what “Category 1A or Category 7 means. I’ll provide a brief key below for reference:

• 1A – Royal Suite
• 1B – Concierge 2-bedroom Suite With Verandah
• 2A or 2B (there’s some variation between ships) – Concierge 1-Bedroom Suite With Verandah
• 3A – Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom With Verandah
• 4 – Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah
• 5 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom With Verandah
• 6 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom With Verandah (Undersized, Obstructed View, or White Wall)
• 7 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom With Navigator’s Verandah
• 8- Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom
• 9 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom
• 10 – Deluxe Inside Stateroom
• 11 – Standard Inside Staterooms

Essentially, the lower the category number, the more expensive the stateroom. When you’re on the Disney Cruise website browsing rooms, you’ll see the square footage listed, which includes the bathroom space as well as the verandah.

Concierge Rooms

Concierge rooms are not only nicer, more spacious rooms with more amenities but there are also extended services that go along with the extra room. Concierge services include shoreside services, such as assistance with booking shore excursions and onboard activities. Concierge guests also get an early booking window to get their first pick of activities and coveted extras like cabanas at Castaway Cay.

Concierge guests also get access to the ship’s Concierge Lounge. Lounge perks include private sundecks, near round-the-clock access to nibbles, bottled sodas, bottled water, juices, and specialty coffees, and an open bar in the evenings.

Concierge Royal Suite

Each ship has at least one Royal Suite. These luxe accommodations sleep six and have separate living areas and dining areas, and private hot tubs. The newest Royal Suites on the Disney Wish  are Sleeping Beauty-themed. If you want the highest of high-end and are prepared to pay the price, these suites are the ultimate experience on board a Disney Cruise.

I recommend booking with a travel agent who can help you navigate the availability of these suites. Since they’re in limited numbers, they tend to book up fast, so if you’ve got your heart set on staying in a Royal Suite, a travel agent has a better view of availability across the fleet.

One and Two-Bedroom Suites

These suites offer space to spread out at a more affordable price than the Royal Suite, although affordable is a relative term when it comes to concierge staterooms.

My family and I stayed in a one-bedroom suite on the Disney Dream,  and we enjoyed the extra space and privacy. The king-sized bed had pocket doors that separated our sleeping space from the rest of the room, and we had two full baths, one with an oversized bathtub. Our kids slept on a pullout couch and a Murphy bed in the living room.

Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom With Verandah

The Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom With Verandah is the least expensive concierge room. The room is very similar to a non-concierge oceanview stateroom with a verandah and is essentially a category 4 or 5 stateroom with concierge room decor and amenities and access to concierge services, such as the lounge and pre-arrival assistance. If you want the white glove VIP service but don’t need a bunch of extra room, this is the way to go.

Oceanview Staterooms

If you want to see the water from your stateroom, Oceanview is the stateroom for you. There are several categories to choose from here. The big decision to make is whether or not you want a balcony, AKA verandah. If you decide to go with a verandah, there are some nuances regarding views so if unobstructed ocean views are a must, make sure you’re reading carefully when you book or specifying exactly what you want when you talk to your travel agent.

Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms and Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom

When it comes to Disney Cruise Line staterooms, the word “family” is going to mean a larger room that sleeps more people.

Think of the oceanview as the middle-of-the-road choice between a room with a verandah and an inside room. The rooms have porthole windows where you can see outside and get that natural light. The oceanview stateroom is more money than the inside staterooms but not as costly as the verandah or concierge rooms, so, if you want to land somewhere between those two options, this can be a good choice.

The oceanview stateroom may also be a good compromise for parents of young children. Sometimes parents have the worry that their little ones are going to try and climb the balcony and fall overboard, so the oceanview sans balcony eliminates that situation.

The verandah staterooms do have high locks on the doors to the balcony, though, so it’s easy for parents to manage, safety-wise.

The balconies are about 45 square feet – not huge, but large enough for three to four people to comfortably stand on to look out. There are two chairs and a small table, quite comfortable to sit in and enjoy a drink or your morning coffee.

Oceanview Staterooms With Verandah

As you can see from the list above, there are many variations and multiple categories listed for rooms with a private verandah. The difference between the verandahs in Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah and Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom With Verandah is going to be the size of the stateroom and the number of people it can sleep, five versus four people. Categories 4 and 5 have the same type of unobstructed verandah.

When you get into categories 6, 7, and 8 on Disney Cruise ships, you get smaller verandahs, potential obstructions, or a white wall verandah. Most of the verandahs are acrylic, where you can see ocean views even while seated. A Navigator’s Verandah is a mostly enclosed verandah that has a large, circular hole for viewing. The smaller or obstructed view verandahs will be priced lower than categories 4 and 5. The differences are very minor, so if you have an opportunity to save or your selection of verandah rooms is limited, consider how much time you’ll spend on the verandah and decide from there.

Inside Staterooms

Inside staterooms are the cheapest staterooms. Depending on availability, you’ll be able to choose from a standard inside stateroom and a deluxe inside stateroom.

Inside staterooms are exactly that – inside. There’s no porthole window or balcony to let in the natural light or ocean breezes.

Deluxe Inside Stateroom Vs. Standard Inside Stateroom

The big difference between standard and deluxe is that the deluxe has a split bathroom. The split bathroom means a toilet and vanity separate from the shower and second sink. It’s a great feature and allows someone to be in the shower without holding someone up if they need to use the toilet. The extra square footage in the deluxe – about 50 feet – is all the split bathroom.

We stayed in a deluxe inside stateroom on the Disney Magic . We initially booked the standard inside stateroom, but Disney upgraded us shortly before we left for the port, and we appreciated the extra space in the bathroom. Otherwise, I thought the inside cabin was just fine. I thought I would miss the verandah but didn’t. The dark cabin was great for sleeping. Also, many of the inside staterooms are on the lower decks. When we were in an inside stateroom on Deck 2, catching the stairs and bypassing the crowded elevators was easy.

Inside staterooms on the Disney Fantasy  and Disney Dream have a virtual porthole, which is a digital screen that shows real-time views of the ship’s exterior with the occasional visit from a Disney character. You can turn off the virtual porthole if you choose.

Standard In-Room Amenities

The Inside and Oceanview staterooms are all very similar, and the main differences between the stateroom categories are verandahs and split bathrooms versus single bathrooms. Regarding the available beds and storage space, there’s not much difference between non-concierge rooms.

The rooms typically sleep four, with a few sleeping five, so larger families or groups may want to consider adjoining cabins if not comfortable splitting up. When you enter the room, you’ll see a queen bed, a couch, a coffee table, and a combination desk/storage unit. There’s a curtain divider guests can use to close the bed off from the rest of the stateroom.

The couch converts into a bed, and there’s an additional bed housed in the ceiling. The stateroom attendant will convert the couch into a bed and handle the pull-down bed during nightly turndown service. Although the quarters are pretty close, this setup does well for a family of four, with the kids sleeping on the bunk beds and the parents sleeping on the queen bed. The curtain provides a small amount of privacy.

Staterooms have a small flatscreen TV that’s mounted on a swivel so they can be positioned to be seen from the bed or the couch. Although no one goes on a cruise to watch TV, there are a variety of channels that include information about the ship’s route and activities as well as Disney programming and news.

Bathroom Amenities

In addition to towels and soap, standard DCL bathroom amenities include shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, and soap. Concierge staterooms have elevated toiletries. The Disney Wish  provides bathrobes as part of the standard stateroom amenities but on the other ships, they’re only for concierge guests.

Storage Space

Storage space in a Disney Cruise Line stateroom is adequate but tight. If you have four people in a cabin, storage space is more at a premium, but unless you’re big over-packers, everyone has enough space to store their belongings.

There’s a bit of closet space – if you have a lot of hanging garments, I recommend travel hangers – and storage cubbies and drawers in the bathroom and the main part of the cabin. The under-bed area has room for suitcase storage.

Best Advice When Choosing Staterooms

Budget is going to be most people’s driving factor when choosing a stateroom. Depending on the length of the cruise, there’s usually a several thousand dollar difference between an inside stateroom and the cheapest concierge stateroom.

Cruise ships are so filled with activities and other things to do, and guests aren’t meant to spend a ton of time in their stateroom, so don’t think you’ll be shortchanging your experience if you book an inside stateroom. If you have a larger budget and prioritize that extra level of elevated service, concierge is a fun splurge.

I also recommend you look at a deck plan before you lock in a stateroom to see where you’ll be in relation to everything else on the ship. If your cabin is directly below the sun deck, you might be woken early by the sounds of the deck crew setting up the chairs for the day. If your cabin is near the elevators, you might hear lots of foot traffic, although the upside is that being near the elevators means it’s faster and easier to get around the ship.

Midship staterooms on a high deck are generally the most stable, so this might be a necessary choice if you’re prone to seasickness.

Travel Agents Can Be Excellent Advisors

When it comes to choosing a stateroom, a travel agent can be a great resource, especially if you’re a first-time cruiser. They’re familiar with the ships, deck plans, and what the passengers want and need, even when the passengers may not fully know.

Types of Disney Cruise Cabins Overview

Choosing the  D isney Cruise best rooms that are the best fit for your family can make or break your time at sea. There is nothing worse for a vacation than having a room too small to enjoy and make feel like your own. Especially if it’s a multi-day cruise! On the Disney Cruise Line , guests have a choice of 4 major room categories to choose from. All of these come in different sizes, sleep a different amount of guests, and have designated floors you’ll stay on. While all D isney Cruise Line staterooms  are designed for comfort, some are more comfortable than others and may be worth the extra expense. Before we dive into the best Disney Cruise rooms, let’s go over some basic knowledge that you’ll need to start planning your perfect Disney Cruise cabin.

What is a Disney Cruise Stateroom?

• The D isney Cruise Line staterooms  will be the rooms you sleep in on board the ship. They are also referred to as cabins or rooms. But for most of the planning process and time on the ship, you will know it as a stateroom. So no matter what stateroom category you choose, your Disney Cruise Line staterooms are your home away from home while on the ship. 

What is the Best Level to Stay on a Disney Cruise?

• No matter if it’s the  best deck on Disney Wish , or any other deck on a ship in the DCL fleet, the best deck to stay on is two decks below any of the restaurants. This is typically decks 8 and 9 on most of the ships. This is typically because the restaurants that are open for breakfast start setting up before the sun rises and you can hear chairs and tables slamming on the floor, or rather your ceiling. But staying on decks 8 and 9 offers easy access to upper decks where pools and recreation are. While also just a quick trip away from lower deck theaters and the main atrium.

Standard Inside Stateroom

Size : 169 – 184 sq. ft.

Important to Know : The smallest of all staterooms, the Standard Inside Staterooms are the best  D isney Cruise rooms  to stay in if you’re cruising on a budget. Although small, it is the perfect size for someone sailing by themselves or with one other person. Personally, even though it technically can sleep up to 4 guests, I wouldn’t recommend this room for anyone traveling with more than 2 people total. The space, while designed usefully, is small and can feel very cramped when getting ready for dinners or other events your sailing might have.

Best Disney Cruise Rooms FAQ

Q: Which is the Best Deck to stay on a Disney Wish Cruise Ship?

A: If you’re not staying in a Concierge-level stateroom, the best deck to stay on Disney Wish  is deck 9. On this deck, you will be only 2 decks below the main dining areas and pools. You could stay on deck 10 which is directly below the main amenity deck 11. But book your room with caution! If you stay directly under high-traffic areas, there is a chance you can hear people running around or the Crew Members preparing the restaurants at odd hours. 

Q: Which side of the Disney Cruise Ship to stay on?

A: This is up to you! There is no “bad side” of a Disney ship nor does it change the price you pay. The biggest difference in what side of the ship you stay on is what view you want to have while docked at ports of call. If you want the potential to see beaches and other ships, I recommend booking a room on the starboard (right) side of the ship. But if you’d like to be able to watch people running to the ship at the very last minute, a room on the port (left) side will be best for you.

Q: What is the Best Part of the Ship to stay on Disney Wish?

A: For all cruisers, but especially if it’s your first time sailing or you are prone to seasickness, the best location on Disney Cruise ship is to stay in mid or the middle of the ship. This is where you will feel less of the ship’s movement and more stability as you sail to your destinations. However, I have stayed in both the Mid and Aft (back) of the ship and had a better experience in the back!

Q: What is the most Luxurious Stateroom in Disney  Cruise Ship?

A: By far the most luxurious stateroom on a Disney ship is the Tower Suite on the Disney Wish and soon-to-sail Disney Treasure. This stateroom is a first of its kind and is a full two-deck room in the ship’s forward tunnel. On the Disney Wish, the room is themed to the animated film Moana . While on the soon-to-sail Disney Treasure, it is going to be EPCOT-themed! This will mark the first room themed after one of the Disney Theme Parks! We can’t wait to see this new ship and all it has to offer so make sure to check back for more updates!

Best Staterooms on a Disney Cruise

Disney Cruise Lines are perfect for families looking to enjoy quality time together. But with so many different categories and subcategories, how do you know which stateroom is right for you? Let’s investigate how to select the best staterooms on a Disney cruise for your family vacation.

Not familiar with the term “stateroom”?  Disney Cruise Line refers to the individual passenger rooms on its cruise ships as “staterooms.”  You might have heard these previously referred to elsewhere as “ cabins .”

The Disney Cruise Line offers four main types of staterooms: Concierge (the most expensive ), Veranda, Oceanview, and Inside (the least expensive). In each category and within each ship, there are different options (subcategories). Category 1 is typically the most costly, followed by Category 2, etc. Category 11 is the least expensive. Within each category, subcategory A is typically more expensive than subcategory B, and so on.

The amenities and size of the room usually correspond to the price, with Category 1 being the biggest and best while Category 11 has the smallest rooms with the fewest features.

Within each numbered category, the letter subcategories typically designate more preferable locations on the ship’s deck plan (rather than differences in stateroom amenities).  For example, a 4A stateroom might be in a better location than a 4C stateroom, but the interiors of both staterooms will be virtually identical. Note that some Concierge staterooms are an exception to this rule; Category 1A is a drastically different stateroom versus Category 1B.

Generally speaking, rooms located on higher decks or the middle of each deck plan (known as midship or mid ) are considered more preferable than lower decks or staterooms that are forward (front of the ship) or aft (rear of the ship). Which side of the ship the room is on (port side or starboard side) generally does not factor into stateroom category.

Also note that some stateroom categories cater to different travel parties. Some staterooms might only sleep up to a family of four , whereas others can hold five or more.

Please note that this guide does not include accessible suites , which offer the same level of convenience and comfort to guests with disabilities. For questions about accessible suites or any of the below-listed rooms, please get in touch with The Vacationeer .

Their team of experienced Disney travel agents will help you find the best itineraries at the lowest price, and there’s never an additional charge for their services.

Now, let’s look at the best staterooms on a Disney Cruise ship .

Concierge Staterooms (Most Expensive Main Category)

The Concierge category offers the most luxurious – and expensive – accommodations on Disney Cruise Line. Each room has a large private verandah and premium amenities and services.

The Concierge Wish Tower Suite and the Concierge Royal Suite are the ship’s most spacious and lavishly appointed rooms. Additionally, the Concierge 1-Bedroom Suite is a more modestly priced option that still offers an incredible experience. For families, the Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom provides plenty of space and convenient access to all of the ship’s family-friendly amenities.

Concierge-level staterooms in categories 1, 2, and 3 include additional perks , such as access to priority seating for excursions and events and exclusive access to the Concierge Lounge, where you can relax with complimentary coffee, tea, and pastries or enjoy evening hors d’oeuvres and cocktails.

Here’s a breakdown of the categories found in the Concierge category.

Category 1A – Concierge Wish Tower Suite (Disney Wish cruise ship only)

The Wish Tower Suite on Deck 14 and 15 is the Disney Cruise Line’s most luxurious room. It has two bedrooms, a space for children with two bunk beds, and a library that can convert into two more rooms. Aside from the four full bathrooms and the half-bath off the living room, the suite has floor-to-ceiling windows on both decks, providing a great view of the ship from the suite.

Eight guests can stay in this 1,966 sq. ft. suite. It has a wow factor like no other!

Recommendation :  The Concierge Wish Tower Suite is the perfect choice for families or groups who have the money to spend and won’t settle for anything less than the best. Nothing out-competes the luxury of this stateroom.  It truly is the best stateroom on a Disney Cruise.

Category 1A – Concierge Royal Suite w/ Verandah (Disney Dream, Fantasy, Magic, & Wonder cruise ships)

The Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah stateroom is the largest and most luxurious suite offered on Disney’s Dream, Fantasy, Magic, and Wonder. The Magic and Wonder ships can accommodate up to 7 guests, and the Dream and Fantasy ships can accommodate up to 5 guests.

The suite features a living area with a formal dining table and sitting area and a massive verandah with a private hot tub on the Dream and Fantasy ships. The decor in these suites is luxurious and tasteful, making it the perfect choice for those looking for the ultimate in luxury and comfort.

Recommendation :  This is the Crème de la Crème of staterooms on the Disney Dream, Fantasy, Magic, and Wonder cruise ships. If roominess and luxury are what you’re after, and you have the money to spend, then Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah is a great choice. 

Category 1B – Concierge 2-Story Royal Suite w/ Verandah (Disney Wish)

The Concierge 2-Story Royal Suite with Verandah on the Disney Wish cruise ship is a luxurious and spacious stateroom that spans two decks (decks 12 and 13). The Suite features a spiral staircase, two large bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a large dining and living area, and two large verandahs with a private hot tub.

This stateroom is an impressive 1,759 sq. ft and can comfortably sleep six guests,

Recommendation:  The 2-Story Royal Suite is another fantastic offering from the new Disney Wish. Perfect for families and groups of six who want to be treated like kings and queens. 

Category 1B – Concierge 2-Bedroom Suite w/ Verandah (Disney Magic & Wonder)

Disney Cruise Line’s Concierge 2-Bedroom Suite with Verandah features two separate bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, and a spacious sitting area.  The total area is 945 sq. ft., including the verandah, and can accommodate up to seven people. A large verandah is perfect for enjoying the views or relaxing. It is an impressive suite, perfect for a large group or family!

This stateroom is only available on Disney Magic and Disney Wonder .

Recommendation:   An excellent choice for families who want plenty of luxury and space. Choose the starboard (right) side if you sail to Castaway Cay because you will have better views of Disney’s private island when docked. 

Category 1C – 1-Story Royal Suites w/ Verandah (Disney Wish)

With a classic elegance inspired by Sleeping Beauty, the Disney Wish’s 1-Story Royal Suites with Verandah are perfect for families and groups of up to 6. There are two bedrooms, a living room and dining room, three full bathrooms, and an impressive 1,507 square feet of living space. The wet bar is perfect for entertaining, and the large private verandah with a whirlpool tub is the ideal place to relax.

Recommendation :  These beautiful and family-friendly staterooms will make your cruise vacation unforgettable.

Category 2A and 2B – Concierge 1-Bedroom Suite w/ Verandah (All Disney Cruise Ships)

Disney cruises offer a 1-Bedroom Suite with Verandah for those looking for a little extra space and privacy on their vacation. The suite sleeps up to 5 people and features a separate bedroom, two bathrooms, a living room, and a wet bar.  The main bathroom has double sinks, a rain-style shower, and a whirlpool tub. A large walk-in closet provides plenty of space for storing your belongings.

The main difference between Categories 2A and 2B is location. Magic and Wonder’s 2A suites have a slightly different layout with a longer verandah. Dream and Fantasy’s 2A suites are located between the two connecting Royal Suites and the ship’s front center. The 2A suites of the Disney Wish are located on deck 12 and have a deeper verandah than the 2B suites.

Recommendation:  This is an excellent option if you only need one bedroom but still want plenty of roominess and class.

Category 3A and 3B – Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom w/ Verandah (Disney Dream, Fantasy, Magic, & Wonder)

The Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah on Disney cruises is a luxurious private room that sleeps up to five people. This room is complete with a private verandah with beautiful sea views and an abundance of warm woods and custom fabrics.

The stateroom features a queen-sized bed, a convertible sofa, a Pullman bunk bed, and a spacious bathroom with a shower, TV, and a safe. There are just over 300 square feet of living space. Additionally, families have concierge-level guests access to a private lounge and priority boarding.

Recommendation:   Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom is excellent for families that want the luxury and perks of a Concierge-level stateroom but don’t need all the bells and whistles (and expense) of the Category 1 and 2 staterooms. 

Category 3B – Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom (Disney Wish)

The Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom on Disney Wish offers stunning sea views through floor-to-ceiling windows.

A king bed, a single convertible sofa, and an upper-berth single pull-down bed make up this room, which can accommodate up to five guests. There is also a wall pull-down bed in rooms that sleep five. The 357-square-foot room provides plenty of space for the whole family to relax.

Guests staying in a Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom also have access to special concierge services, including priority boarding and seating at shows and restaurant reservations. If you’re looking for a truly magical experience, book a stay in one of these Little Mermaid-themed spaces.

Recommendation :  These are fun and family-oriented staterooms on Disney’s newest cruise ship. This is a good option if you want a Concierge-level room at a relatively affordable price.

Verandah (Balcony) Staterooms

Verandah staterooms are Disney’s most spacious non-concierge accommodations, each with its own balcony outside the ship where you can enjoy the fresh air while watching the ocean go by.

Category four, five, six, and seven are verandah staterooms. Some rooms in this category offer partial views, but all provide a comfortable and relaxing space.

Category 4 – Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom w/ Verandah (All Disney Cruise Ships)

The Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah on Disney cruises is the largest stateroom on the ships that are not concierge suites. Roughly 300 sq ft, it sleeps up to 5 and is the only single-room option for a family of 5 on the Disney Magic and Disney Wonder. The Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah is also the most frequently booked option for families of 5 on the Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy .

All of these factors considered it’s no wonder that this room type is one of the most popular among families cruising with Disney.

Recommendation : The Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom is perfect for families of four or five who value roominess and want to enjoy the ocean breeze from the verandah . 

Category 5 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (All Disney Cruise Ships)

The Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah on Disney cruises is a fantastic choice for your family cruise. With enough space to comfortably sleep 3-4 guests and an unobstructed verandah, this room type is perfect for enjoying the beautiful view.

Magic and Wonder’s cabins are 268 sq ft, while Dream, Fantasy, and Wish are 248 sq ft. The Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah come with a queen bed, a sleeper sofa, and a pull-out berth (if sleeping four). This room type also features a sitting area, plenty of closet space, and a private verandah to enjoy the view without leaving your stateroom.

Recommendation :   Among the regular-sized verandah cabins, these are the most common and the most frequently booked for families with four or fewer members. They are an excellent choice!

Category 6 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah – Undersized, Obstructed View, or White Wall  (All Disney Cruise Ships)

Category 6 staterooms are located near the back of the ship’s upper deck. Accommodations are nearly identical to those found in Category 5 but have either an undersized, obstructed, or white wall verandah. Those who book a Category 6 cabin on the Magic and Wonder will have full white wall railings, while on the Dream and Fantasy, the white wall only extends halfway up the railing.

All of these staterooms sleep at least three, and many sleep 4.

Recommendation :  Because these rooms are nearly identical to Category 5 rooms, they are a terrific way to save money on your Disney cruise . We recommend the Dream and Fantasy 6B staterooms because of their stunning views, and Disney Magic and Wonder’s Category 6 staterooms on Deck 6 have more verandah space, as do 5650 and 5150.

Category 7 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Navigator’s Verandah (All Disney Cruise Ships)

Navigator verandahs on Disney Magic and Disney Wonder feature mostly enclosed balconies with a viewing window cut out. In contrast, Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish have a minimally obstructed view from the verandah.

Recommendation:  The rooms in Category 7 are nearly identical to those in Category 5 and 6, so they are a good way to save on a Disney cruise if you don’t mind having a partial view. We believe these are the best values in the verandah category, particularly on the Dream, Fantasy, and Wish.

Feeling overwhelmed?  Working with an experienced Disney travel agent can calm the waters!  Contact the Disney Cruise experts at The Vacationeer !

Not only will they arrange every part of your cruise, but they’ll provide a generous onboard credit you can use towards purchases while you’re on the ship.  There’s never any obligation to book, and there’s no additional charge to use their planning services!

Oceanview (Porthole) Staterooms

The Oceanview category of staterooms (Category 8 and 9) features rooms with scenic vistas through genuine porthole windows. The Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom is perfect for families, while the Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom provides a more intimate setting.

Category 8 – Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom (Disney Dream, Fantasy, & Wish)

Disney Dream, Disney Fantasy, and Disney Wish to offer a truly luxurious cruise experience with their Category 8 Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms.

These staterooms are much larger than the standard size (around 240 sq ft), sleeping between 3 and 5 people comfortably. In addition, they feature unique round tub-showers (see the video above for Category 4) and large portholes with seating, making them the perfect place to relax and take in the breathtaking views. The exceptions to this are the 8As, which are similar to suites with two large portholes and plenty of space. Families and groups can enjoy Category 8A even more since many have a divider between the bed and seating area. None of them will disappoint.

Recommendation :  Families looking for affordability and comfort will find the Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom is the right choice.

Category 9 – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom (All Disney Cruise Ships)

The Category 9 Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom sleeps 3 or 4 people and is the same size as the category 10’s with a similar layout and features. The Disney Dream and Fantasy Rooms are 204 sq ft, 214 on Disney Magic and Wonder, and 218 sq ft on Disney Wish. Most rooms have a porthole on one of the walls. On the Magic and Wonder ships, the 9D staterooms on deck 1 have two small portholes instead of one large porthole.

A, B, C, and D designations represent Disney’s assessment of the location and view of the room. In Dream, Fantasy, and Wish, the 9C and 9D staterooms typically have obstructed views and are usually located in the front of the vessel.

Recommendation :  If you prefer to save money over having a porthole in your room, opt for Category 10. 

Inside Staterooms (Least Expensive Main Category)

The Inside category features Disney Cruise Line’s base accommodations, with no window (no exterior view) but still featuring a nautical motif. The Deluxe Inside Stateroom is slightly larger than the Standard Inside Stateroom and provides additional storage space and a sitting area.

Category 10 –Deluxe Inside Stateroom (Disney Dream, Fantasy, Magic, & Wonder)

Rooms in Category 10 are almost identical to those in Category 9, except for being unable to see the outside. These staterooms also have more square footage than those in Category 11.

The Disney Dream/Fantasy Deluxe Inside Staterooms are 204 sq ft, and the Disney Magic/Wonder rooms are 214 sq ft. They can accommodate 3 or 4 people.

Disney Wish does not have a Deluxe Inside category.

Virtual portholes on the Disney Dream and Fantasy ships allow passengers to see what is happening outside (along with a bit of Disney magic thrown in).

There are also a select few unnamed staterooms on the Magic/Wonder ships known in some circles as “secret porthole” staterooms — they actually have porthole windows but Disney decided not to classify them as oceanview rooms because lifeboats or other architectural elements obstruct the views.

Deluxe Inside Staterooms have a split bathroom, with one half having a sink and a shower, and the other half having a toilet and a sink. A, B, and C subcategories are assigned according to their locations, with A subcategories on upper decks or closer to midship, while C subcategories are on lower decks.

Recommendation : Deluxe Inside Cabins/Staterooms are an excellent option for couples or families of 3 or 4 on a budget. 

Category 11 – Standard Inside Stateroom (All Disney Cruise Ships)

Standard Inside Staterooms are typically the cheapest rooms available on Disney Cruise Line .

Standard Inside Staterooms sleep three, and some sleep four.  They’re smaller than other staterooms, but the amenities are the same. The Disney Magic and Wonder rooms are 184 square feet, while the Dream Fantasy and Wish rooms are 169 square feet.

There’s no split bathroom in a Standard Inside Stateroom. The Disney Dream and Fantasy ships feature a Magical Porthole with real-time views, but the other ships do not have exterior views.

Disney divides the rooms into categories A, B, and C based on attractiveness. Category 11A rooms are found on upper decks and near the ship’s middle, while 11B rooms are on lower decks.

Recommendation:  The Standard Inside Statement is a small and cheap option, so you shouldn’t expect too much from it. However, this DCL room offers more space than you would get on other (non-Disney) cruise ships of the same class. It allows couples and small families the opportunity to enjoy a Disney cruise at a reasonable price.

As always seems to be the case, the best option for you may not be the best option for another family.

Ask yourself the question: “what’s most important to me?”  Is it having a balcony? Is it experiencing concierge level service in a suite? Is it having additional beds for kids? Is it saving money and just making sure you’re onboard the ship?

Answering those questions, then reviewing deck plans, photos, reviews, and our guide/tips above will help you decide what’s best for you.

No matter your room type, you’re sure to have a magical experience aboard a Disney Cruise ship.

Thanks for reading our Best Staterooms on a Disney Cruise article.  Happy cruising (and don’t forget your passport)!

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!

Disney Wish: Stateroom Layouts

I recently received a printed Disney Wish deck plan which featured the same information you can find on the current digital deck plan along with new to me stateroom layouts on the backside.

These are conceptual layouts of the various stateroom categories. The actual staterooms are likely to vary slightly depending on stateroom location and final configurations. Plus as the fine print states, these are subject to change. The images are not perfect, as they were scanned from the printed deck plans. If and when digital versions become available, the they will be updated.

Nice staterooms to be sure. The two story is very nice indeed but it would be way too much for just my wife and I… that being said, we would certainly give it try if we could. My wife would never leave the hot tub on the veranda.

While those royal suites look really nice, I can’t justify spending whatever the cost is going to be. I guess I’ll have to wait until the Trackers Vlog about it.

Question about the Deluxe Family w/ Veranda that sleeps 5 – it says there is a single sofa bed, a pull down bed and Q bed. Where does the 5th person sleep?

Any rooms to accommodate a family of 6?

Earning My Ears

• Jun 19, 2017

Are there any RCL (or any line) ships that accommodate a family of 6? We're currently a family of 5 sailing on the Disney Fantasy in September, but come January or February we'll be a family of 6 and DCL doesn't have any ships with any rooms that will fit 6. The only way we'll probably be able to cruise DCL (or any line) again is if parents go again and we can book a child in their room. Anyone know of any other options? Hopefully the new ships that are coming on in 2019 and 2021 will have rooms that can accommodate 2 adults and 4 children. To book 2 rooms on DCL, even a cheap interior room was going to add a good $4k+ to the total and that's just not doable for our family on 1 income. Do you know of any ships where we wouldn't have to book 2 rooms?

You have to call Royal to book a family stateroom - they can't be booked online. Also, not that this will affect you, but just general info - if you book one of these rooms and anyone drops off your reservation, they WILL more than likely move you to a smaller stateroom.

Sofa converts to double, two Pullman beds, private bathroom and sitting area. (271 sq. ft. Balcony 82 sq. ft.)"

Which ship? Most newer ships have Family Cabins that sleep 6. Anthem doesn't. Like others have said you have to call to book it. If you're sailing on a Freedom or Voyager class ship, Family Oceanview cabins 8500 and 8200 are great rooms. They're much larger than other Family Cabins. Make sure you compare the cost of 2 rooms compared to one family cabin. On my last 2 Indy cruises it was much cheaper to book a Family cabin. On my upcoming Oasis cruise it was $300 cheaper to book connecting Boardwalk balcony rooms over a Family balcony room.

many times on Royal 2 rooms will be much less expensive than any cabin that holds 6.( those can only be booked via a TA or by calling, they are not listed on line at all and there is very little inventory so they sell out VERY fast)

jahber said: We have four kids and we always just book 2 cabins. We've managed to get connecting cabins every time, which makes it easier. But I'm not opposed to being separated if that's what it takes to get on the ship. I'd rather have a vacation and sleep apart from my husband than not have a vacation at all. And if I'm honest, sleeping in my own bed alone for the first time in many, many years (and after having four kids) doesn't sound that bad... Click to expand...

It's definitely worth costing two interconnecting staterooms. It may save you some money. We are disembarking the Oasis of the Seas today. We are just a family of 4 and our kids are classed as adults and it was only a couple of hundred more for two cabins. With the door open between us it was just iike two connected rooms to move about in and wth the bonus of the extra bathroom.

Family cabin v.s. two connecting cabins: Not sure, OP, what the ages of your kids are but it's worth mentioning that the convertible sofa is a very, very small double bed. Two would not sleep comfortably there unless they are very young children. Two connecting cabins would circumvent this issue.  

This is the trouble I had with Anthem. We chose Anthem so we wouldn't have to pay airfare for 6 people, but then discovered no room would accommodate all of us. They even had a Family Connected Stateroom that they have taken away (they reclassed the rooms for future sailings from what the TA said). Thankfully my parents are going and were willing to put two kids in their room, so my husband and I can still be together (I'm the opposite of the previous poster - I definitely don't want to go on a vacation where I can't share a bed with my husband. Not a long one like this, we have only done it for 2 night local getaways). We booked within a month of it going on sale (we tried to book right away but the owner of our TA past away very unexpectedly and it understandably took them a bit to get the business back together), yet still couldn't find connecting rooms in our category.  

Thank you everyone for your replies. The ages of our children currently are 9, 7, 7, and a new LO will be coming in February 2018.

Hotel Rooms that Sleep 6 Guests: Walt Disney World

Last Updated on March 2, 2020

Walt Disney World Resorts Caters to Extended Families

If your family has grown since the last time you visited Disney World, it’s probably time to change up how you do things.  If you are planning your first Disney vacation and you have a family of 5 or more, you may be wondering about your on-site hotel options.  Either way, I have the info you need for a comfortable stay in Walt Disney World.  Here are the options in Disney World for hotel rooms that sleep 6 (plus one for 5).

Port Orleans Riverside Up to 5

First, if five is your maximum, note that Port Orleans is a moderate resort, but it is far from the middle of the road in terms of style and comfort.  This sprawling patch of river country is full of southern charm and has select rooms that can sleep up to five guests.

All Star Music Suites 6

The First place to look for hotel rooms that sleep 6 is the All-Stars.  The All-Star resorts are Value hotels on Disney property near Animal Kingdom.  The All Star Music resort is the perfect choice for larger families on a budget.  This hotel features suites that will sleep six guests.

Art of Animation Suites 6

Another fantastic option for hotel rooms that sleep 6 guests on a budget is the Art of Animation Resort.  This resort is split so that the Little Mermaid buildings are more similar to what is happening at Pop Century.  However, the other buildings, which are themed to The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and Cars, are made with family suites.  It’s the higher end of the value resorts, but a little nicer, too.

A good alternative to hotel rooms that sleep 6 is a cabin.  Fort Wilderness Cabins are an excellent choice for explorers and adventurers in parties larger than five.  This is a really great experience for those who like camping,  The surrounding Wilderness provides just the right amount of isolation, complete with wildlife you may spot on a horse trail.  Fort Wilderness is just a boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom and it features the Trails End buffet

Deluxe Suites 5-8

Deluxe resorts have suites which are always an option for larger groups, all though it is a bit pricier.  On the plus side, you get more convenience and amenities, as well as some of the best theming on property.  The older resorts have the most square footage, but they cost more too.  These are The Polynesian Village, the Contemporary, and the Grand Floridian.  The biggest deluxe suites sleep up to 8 guests.  Epcot and Animal Kingdom Deluxe hotel rooms are generally smaller and less expensive. Animal Kingdom’s Jambo house has to be one of the top picks to stay.

Deluxe Resort Villas 5-12

Another Deluxe resort option is the villas.  You can buy points for the villas if you are not a vacation club member.  These are perfect for families of 5 to 12, who want to make themselves at home during their stay.  The villas have kitchens and all the essentials, so you can make your own meals to help balance the budget.  Disney Deluxe resorts have some grocery items for cooking in your villas, but you can also have food delivered to your door if you choose.  Villas tend to be more remote and secluded.  Not as secluded as a Fort Wilderness Cabin, but you can expect more privacy, a secondary lobby, and more homey quarters.

Swan and Dolphin Up to 10

Finally, the Swan and Dolphin have suites that will sleep up to 10 guests.  The great thing about the Swan and Dolphin is how elegant it is and how much value you get for the price.  The Swan and Dolphin hotels are right in the heart of Disney World, located between Disney Studios and Epcot.  the location is prime and the amenities are certainly there.  It’s not cheap, but you pay a lot less than you normally would have because the hotels are not Disney owned.  It may be worth it to not overlook these hotels as an option.

Rooms for 6 people?

By jenn- , January 18, 2012 in Family Cruises

Recommended Posts

Do any of the cruise lines have rooms that accommodate 6 people? The most I see on Carnival is 5.

Some of the larger suites will accomodate more than 5.....but it's almost always less expensive to book 2 rooms...connecting cabins are available, if you book early enough...those cabins go quickly! That way, you get 2 bathrooms, and the kids (if that's what your group has!!!) get their own space, and you get a bit of privacy, yet you are right there...closer than you would be at home to the kid's bedroom! Coonsidering that ships cabins are no where NEAR as large as most hotel rooms, I'd go the 2 cabin route!

The only rooms I know of would be family suites. I agree that connecting rooms is the way to go. I can't think that I would want 6 people in one room. We cruise with 2 adults and 2 small kids, and that is plenty to fill up a room. As they get older, we will have to do connecting rooms.

Nebr.cruiser

Royal Caribbean has family OV rooms that hold six very comfortably. We had one on the Navigator last year when we took 7 grandkids on a cruise. It had two twin (or one queen) beds, a large sofa sleeper and bunks in a small alcove.

It was also quite large, but only one bathroom. The kids loved the bunkroom--sometimes all four girls slept in the two bunks!

Of course, there are also suites on various lines, especially NCL, that hold six, but they are very pricey.

I agree with the previous poster about the family OV's on Royal Caribbean. I much prefer them to connecting cabins. On the larger ships, they have family cabins with balconies, also interior family cabins and promenade family cabins. We've got a family cabin with a balcony for a cruise next year on Allure. I'm so excited!

allesonwonderland

I was just pricing out family oceanviews on the Mariner today! So, yes, there are staterooms for 6. You'll just have to call whichever cruiseline you want to inquire about them, since you can't seem to access those rates online. I thought the rate I was quotes was excellent, til the rep realized he told me the price for 4 people instead of 5. LOL

Thanks for the info. I guess I will look at booking connecting cabins. Do most of the ships have them now?

Most ships have them, but they don't have an abundance. You need to book early to secure them.

Dear Jenn - I've never sailed RCL so I didn't know about the cabins for 6. Six people and one bathroom sounds tight to me, but hey, I'd do it if that was the way to get to cruise.

NCL 2 bedroom family suites hold 6 and have 2 bathrooms.

Dear Jenn - I've never sailed RCL so I didn't know about the cabins for 6. Six people and one bathroom sounds tight to me, but hey, I'd do it if that was the way to get to cruise.   Nancy

The one bathroom sure isn't ideal--we had four girls and sometimes one boy and me (grandma) and we made it work.

The oldest girls were 11, though, and not into (or allowed to be into) make-up and hair fussing though, so it was just into and out of the shower as fast as I could hurry them along.

The room itself was great though, and the price was very reasonable.

NCL Family Suites (SJ) also hold up to 6. They have a queen bed (or two twins), a pull-out sofa and a Murphy bed. They are about 400 sq. ft. The ones without a balcony are actually quite reasonable - if the add'l passenger rate is pretty low. For example, on our cruise it was $209, I believe, for additional passengers after the first 2. Just check because some of the rooms only hold 4 (no murphy bed).

The NCL Family Suites hold 6 and these are available on the NCL Star and NCL Dawn, cat SJ. The NCL Dawn also has the Family Suite with Balcony that holds 6. I think it is a cat. SD.

The more pricy suites SC will also hold 6. These are on most NCL ships. The Haven family suites also hold 6. The Epic and the new NCL Breakaway will also have suites for families of 6.

Finally, you can book a Garden Villa on the NCL ships. These have 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, your own deck, hot tub, elevator, and comes with a nice price-tag too!

We are a family of 6 and just booked two connecting rooms on Liberty of the Seas for this summer. They also had family rooms which would sleep six. Those appeared to have about the same square footage as two connecting room, but only one bathroom. These were a little less expensive than the 2 connecting rooms, but the one bathroom worried me. We took a cruise two years ago over spring break and did the two connecting rooms and it worked out very well.

We have 6 in our group as well and found it is much more affordable to book two rooms. We usually pick one verandah room & an inside room directly across from it.

The Royal Family Suite on RCI has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a living room plus balcony. I have no idea what it costs (never used one), but I would guess it would be pricier than doing two connecting rooms.

We are a family of 6. Here is another idea other than connecting rooms. Get rooms right across the hall from each other!

We currently have a balcony room booked with an inside room right across the hall. Then our friend's family of four is two doors down in the inside quad room (they wanted inside). I really wanted a balcony room but two balcony rooms connecting is more expensive than 1 balcony and 1 inside room.

Originally I wanted a balcony quad for me, hubby, and the two little kids (and an inside double for the older boys) but the quad balcony were book. So our TA found a double balcony room with a quad inside directly across the hall. This works out well for us and is cheaper than my original plan. My daugher and I will get the balcony (the girls room), and the boys (DH, 10 year old son, 18 year old son and almost 20 year old) get the inside quad. :p

A Complete Guide to Disney Fantasy Cruise Rooms

By Wendy Leave a Comment

AAAHH , the Disney Fantasy ! Following a magical day of sunning, splashing, and dining aboard this beautiful Disney Cruise Line ship, the only thing left to do is settle into your stateroom to dream about the next day’s adventures!

The Disney Fantasy

Now, as far as I’m concerned, ANY stateroom on the Disney Fantasy is a great one… because it means you’re on the Disney Fantasy! That said, there are a LOT of stateroom options to choose from. And depending on the size of your group as well as your personal preferences, it’s best to know and understand all of the options and features of each room before you book your “home away from home” at sea.

To that end, we’re taking a look at ALL of the staterooms onboard the Disney Fantasy cruise ship. But first? A quick overview…

Disney Fantasy Stateroom Overview

The Disney Fantasy joined the Disney Cruise Line fleet as the fourth Disney Cruise ship, and it’s the sister ship to the Disney Dream (hence, it is known as a “Dream Class” ship). The Disney Fantasy’s maiden voyage set sail on March 31, 2012.

Did you know that Disney Cruise Line ships offer some of the largest staterooms in the cruise industry? From inside cabins to verandah views to luxurious concierge suites, you may be surprised at the sheer amount of booking options available to you for the Fantasy. Here’s a quick glance from a numbers perspective:

• The Disney Fantasy is 1,115 feet long, and 216 feet tall;
• The Disney Fantasy can carry 4,000 passengers;
• 150 — or 12% — are inside staterooms;
• 1,100 — or a whopping 88% — are outside staterooms:
• 199 of the outside staterooms offer ocean view windows;
• 901 staterooms offer verandahs (including 21 suites)

That said, even within those numbers, there are still more specific room categories. Let’s break it down, starting with the Concierge Level rooms.

BTW, you’ll notice a small series of letters or a number (or a combination of both) after the name of each style of room . These are the Room Categories on the Disney Fantasy for booking purposes.

Concierge Level

Concierge royal suite with verandah (category oor).

• Size: 1,029 sq. ft. including verandah
• View: Private verandah

The Concierge Royal Suites with Verandah are the largest and most luxurious suites aboard the ship. There are two on the Fantasy: one named after Walt Disney and the other after his brother Roy Disney.

Concierge Royal Suites with Verandah have two bedrooms (one with a queen-size bed; and one with 2 twin beds and 2 pull-down upper berths).

Guests will find 2.5 bathrooms (including whirlpool tubs), a living room, a media library complete with a wall pull-down bed, a “dining salon,” (ooh, la la!), a pantry, and a wet bar. The Royal Suites even boast walk-in closets!

(P.S. We recently took a look at the Royal Suites on the upcoming Disney Treasure cruise ship , which are themed to two beloved Disney felines. If you’d like, you can check them out here !)

Concierge 1-Bedroom Suite with Verandah (Category OOT)

• Size: 614 sq. ft. including verandah

Concierge 1-Bedroom Suites with Verandah offer guests one bedroom with a Queen bed in the bedroom, along with an additional double sofa bed and a Murphy bed in the living room. Each of the two bathrooms have a rain shower, while the Master Bath has a whirlpool bath. The 1-Bedroom Suites also feature a walk-in closet.

There are six Concierge One Bedroom Suites with Verandah on Deck 11, and thirteen on Deck 12 of the Disney Fantasy.

Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (Category OOV)

• Size: 304 sq. ft. including verandah

Concierge Family Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah feature a Queen-size bed, a double convertible sofa, an upper berth pull-down bed, a full bath (complete with a vanity, sink, round tub and handheld shower), and a half bath (with a vanity, sink and toilet).

This option can comfortably accommodate a family of five. (And a bonus is that the kiddos will very likely LOVE the upper berth pull-down bed!) Additional room features include a couch, a TV, and a desk (with upgraded furnishings). Another appreciated feature is the heavy privacy curtain that separates the seating area from the sleeping area.

All of these particular staterooms are located on Decks 11 and 12 (with 14 staterooms on Deck 12 and 6 on Deck 11).

Guests sailing concierge in all room categories, of course, have access to exclusive services and dedicated areas on the ship, as well as a sun deck available only via a private entrance. We discuss much more about sailing Concierge in this post .

Is Concierge Level Worth It on Disney Cruise Line?

Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah

Deluxe family oceanview stateroom with oversized verandah (category 4e).

• Sleeps: 3-4
• Size: 299 sq. ft. including verandah

Offering a Queen-size bed, single convertible sofa, and a split bath* with tub and shower, the Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms with Oversized Verandah boast larger balconies, and are only located on Deck 5. They are the same size and configuration as all of the Deluxe Oceanview Family Staterooms on the Disney Fantasy, BUT be aware that this particular room category only sleep 3 to 4 guests.

*Disney Cruise Line’s innovative “split bath” concept features a bathroom with a vanity, sink, shower and round tub, and a half bathroom with a vanity, sink and toilet. This offers travel groups the opportunity for two people to have their own space to get ready at one time.

Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (Category 4A-D)

With a Queen-size bed (which can be converted into 2 twin beds, if preferred), a single convertible sofa, a wall pull-down bed, and an upper berth pull-down bed, Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah can sleep up to 5 people. Because they are so spacious, this is possibly one of the best options for a family that likes to spend some downtime in their room as well as exploring the ship.

This category also features the popular split bath (as discussed above), and the breakdown of Deck locations is as follows:

• Category 4A are located on Decks 9 and 10
• Category 4B are located on Deck 8
• Category 4C are located on Deck 7
• Category 4D are located on Deck 6

Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Oversized Verandah (Category 5E)

• Size: 246 sq. ft.

Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms with Oversized Verandah offer a Queen-size bed (or 2 twin beds), a single convertible sofa, a wall pull-down bed and upper berth pull-down bed, as well as the split bath feature with a tub and shower (where the shower and toilet area are conveniently separate). Up to 5 passengers can share this space, and this is another great choice for families that plan to enjoy some time in their room.

These staterooms, by the way, are identical to the other Category 5 staterooms, but they offer a larger balcony. (Be aware, however, that some of the balconies have a white wall, as opposed to clear plexiglass.) Staterooms in this category are located on Decks 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (Category 5A-D)

• Size: 268 sq. ft. including verandah

Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah offer a Queen-size bed (or 2 twin beds), a single convertible sofa, a wall pull-down bed and an upper berth pull-down bed.

The split bath with tub and shower is also a feature here, and these staterooms will also sleep up to 5 people. Note that these staterooms are identical to the Category 6 Staterooms, except they have a clear Perspex Verandah wall.

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah (Category 6)

• Sleeps: 3 or 4

Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms with Verandah offer a Queen-size bed (or 2 twin beds), a single convertible sofa, an upper berth pull-down bed (if sleeping 4), and a split bath with tub and shower.

The only difference from the higher (and typically more expensive) Category 5 is that these staterooms have a white wall balcony, while the others have a clear Perspex balcony wall. So, the practical difference is that you cannot see the ocean when you are sitting down on a white wall verandah, but you can on a verandah with a clear wall.

Now, does this make a difference? Well, from an enjoyment perspective, only you can make that call. But from a budget perspective, you may pay hundreds of dollars less for a white wall verandah as opposed to a clear one.

• Category 6A are located on Decks 8 and 9;
• Category 6B are located on Decks 5, 6 and 7.

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom With Navigators Verandah (Category 7)

Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms With a Navigators Verandah offer a Queen-size bed (or 2 twin beds), a single convertible sofa, and a split bath with tub and shower. While there is little noticeable difference between Category 7 and Categories 5 and 6, it’s important to note the difference in the verandah. Though the verandah itself is the same size, it is enclosed with a very large, open air porthole to look through.

These staterooms are located on Decks 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Ocean View Staterooms with Porthole Windows

Deluxe family oceanview stateroom (category 8a-d).

• Sleeps: 3 or 5
• Size: 241 sq. ft.
• View: One large porthole window

Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms offer a Queen-size bed (or two twin beds), a single convertible sofa, an upper berth pull-down bed (if sleeping 4), and the split bath with tub and shower. Here is a look at a stateroom with a large Porthole Window.

The Category 8 Staterooms are located either aft (in the back) or forward (at the front) of the ship. Locations are as follows:

• Category 8A are located on Decks 5 and 6;
• Category 8B are located on Deck 9;
• Category 8C are located on Deck 7 and 8;
• Category 8D are located on Deck 5 and 6

Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom (Category 9A-D)

• Sleeps: 4 or 5
• Size: 204 sq. ft.
• View: One large porthole window OR 2 small porthole windows

Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms offer a Queen-size bed (or two twin beds), a single convertible sofa, an upper berth pull-down bed (if sleeping 4), and the split bath feature with tub and shower.

The Category 8 and 9 rooms are considered deluxe outside staterooms (which means that they have a large porthole window.) However, the Category 9 staterooms that are located on Deck 1 have two smaller porthole windows. At 204 square feet, these staterooms sleep 3 passengers (with some sleeping 4). And it’s especially helpful to know that these are among the first categories to book on the ship!

So, the Category 9 Staterooms all have a window, but there are differences to be aware of:

• Category 9A Staterooms have One Porthole Window and are located on Decks 5, 6, 7 and 8;
• Category 9B Staterooms have One Porthole Window and are located on Deck 2. These are noteworthy for their terrific location close to the inside amenities of the ship. (If you’d prefer to be closer to the pool decks, though, you’ll want to choose a higher deck.)
• Category 9C Staterooms have One Porthole Window with an Obstructed View and are located on 6, 7 and 8. The extent of the obstruction will vary, but be aware that you will have a view of at least part of a lifeboat out of your window.

Inside Staterooms

Deluxe inside stateroom (category 10a).

• View: No exterior view (but does feature a Virtual Porthole)

Deluxe Inside Staterooms on the Disney Fantasy offer a Queen-size bed (or 2 twin beds), a single convertible sofa, an upper berth pull-down bed (if sleeping 4), and split bath with tub and shower.

Though Inside Staterooms do not offer any exterior view, these cozy staterooms on both the Disney Fantasy and the Disney Dream have Virtual Portholes! Disney Cruise Line’s Virtual Portholes were a cruise industry first, offering real-time virtual views for the ship’s exterior reflecting your staterooms actual location on the ship! This unique (and frankly brilliant) feature serves a practical function in helping to alleviate potential claustrophobia. But wait… there’s more…

Virtual Portholes also enhanced as “Magical Portholes.” This means that, at any given moment, an “enchanting surprise” featuring a beloved Disney animated character or two may suddenly appear in the Porthole! (It’s SO! FUN!) And no worries about catching a little shut-eye with this feature, as this option can turned on or off with a switch.

Deluxe Inside Staterooms are located on Decks 5, 6 ,7, 8, and 9. Generally speaking, the higher up in the ship that your stateroom is positioned, the higher the price.

Standard Inside Stateroom (Category 11A-C)

• Sleeps: 3 or 4;
• Size: 169 sq. ft.

Standard Inside Staterooms offer a Queen-size bed (or 2 twin beds), and a single convertible sofa. Some offer an upper berth pull-down bed. These are the lowest priced staterooms on the ship… and are likewise the smallest. The other major difference between this category and the other available categories is that these staterooms do not have the split-bathroom design of the others. (Though each bathroom does have a tub).

The fabulous Virtual Portholes (I’m a little biased, because I LOVE THESE!) are included with Standard Inside Staterooms, as well.

• Category 11A are located on Decks 8, 9 and 10;
• Category 11B are located on Decks 5, 6 and 7;
• Category 11C are located on Deck 2

Before we sail away, it’s worth noting that Accessible Rooms are also available in the various categories. And while we’ve discussed the main room differences, ALL staterooms aboard the Disney Fantasy offer amenities including — but by no means limited to — an in-room safe, full-length mirrors, a refrigerator, a hair dryer, premium bedding, bath products, a flat-screen TV on swivel arm, and MUCH more.

And with that, I’m sure ready to SAIL AWAY on the Disney Fantasy! How about you?
