Disney Cruise Staterooms
One of the things that a Disney cruiser must take time to consider is the booking. Some passengers are quite particular with details.
Well, we cannot blame them for every one of us wants only the best vacation. Most of us tend to carefully review the space in which we’ll spend a good part of our cruise vacation, and as much as possible we want to get all the information of each space or room in the ship.
We want to know the prices, the amenities, the technology and the convenience we will experience on the room that we choose.
It might be hard to get the room that is perfect for the whole family, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying. The two largest (no pun intended) variables are budget and room-size.
Some staterooms even have veranda for greater view, but (as expected) this is a luxury that will come with a price. While I have never personally experienced this luxury, I have learned from other cruisers that a veranda is not very functional to them while on Disney Cruises, in particular, because they are attending too many activities.
Especially aboard Disney’s Cruise ships, there is not too much time to spend in the room because you’ll find lots of entertainment outside your stateroom. Thus, you’ll probably be happier if you skip the veranda and spend extra money on other amenities.
Some cruiser would choose smaller rooms because as been said, room size is not so important during the cruise – plus you can save a lot this way. Some families even bring their own mats and extra bedding they can use during the nights.
Here are some tips to remember when getting a Disney cruise stateroom:
1. Disney Cruise Line sometimes runs its own specials, such as a small stateroom credit or only having to pay half of the usual deposit amount. If you are a good vacation planner, you can find these specials on your own with a little online research.
2. Get a travel agent who offers a stateroom credit. Aside from knowing about special deals, many travel agents selling Disney cruises will give you a stateroom credit based on the total price of your cruise. When you sail, they will place a credit on your account which you can enjoy on board.
3. Know the “secret” rooms that give you more for your money. The Disney Magic and Wonder cruise ships both have six staterooms that are sold as inside rooms but that actually have an obstructed view porthole. These rooms are 5020, 5022, 5024, 5520, 5522, and 5524. If you choose one, you will be paying a category 10 price but receiving a room that is almost the equivalent of the more expensive category 9.
There are also some staterooms – 7120, 7620, 6134 and 6634 – that are priced as “navigators verandas” but actually have more open veranda. With these you’ll pay for a category 7 room but you get a category 6 style veranda. (Other Disney ships likely have similar secrets that you might expose with a little research.)
These rooms are in high demand, so try to book earlier if you want one of these rooms.
