When you begin planning your Disney Cruise, besides choosing the date & destination of your cruise, you will need to decide on a Disney Cruise Stateroom. There are four different categories of Disney Cruise rooms (and 10 types of Staterooms) to choose from.
For first-time cruisers, it can be hard to understand the differences in the rooms.
You will want to make sure you are aware of the differences in each type so that you make sure you have enough space for those you are traveling with.
Types of Disney Cruise Rooms
While all Disney Cruise rooms are a bit different based on category & type, you will be able to find that they do have many things in common.
Interior Stateroom (Disney Cruise Room for 4)
This means that you will have no view of the ocean.
It is the smallest & most affordable of the Disney Cruise rooms.
Standard interior rooms do not have the split bathrooms that exterior staterooms have.
Interior staterooms on the Disney Dream, Fantasy and Wish have a virtual porthole which is really cool!
One of the benefits (besides price) is that interior rooms usually do not have as much sway as other rooms because of where they are located on the ship.
Another perk is that no light to wake you in the morning, so you can sleep in as long as you would like without having any natural sunlight letting you know it is morning.
Oceanview Stateroom (Disney Cruise Room for 4)
With this type of stateroom, you will have a view of the ocean, but the window will not open.
There is usually a window seat area so that you can sit & enjoy the view. There are curtains for you to close when you need to have less light or need to get some sleep.
If you tend to get seasick, having a view of the water may help curtail the symptoms as it is said to help your brain deal with balancing the equilibrium.
Verandah Stateroom (Disney Cruise Room for 4)
Not only will you have a view of the ocean, you will get a small seating area outside of the stateroom.
We always like this room because of the “extra” outdoor square footage.
Each room has a door that can be propped open to let in fresh air.
Another perk to having a veranda room is that you can place your wet swimwear out to dry.
Family Deluxe Verandah Stateroom (Disney Cruise Room for 5)
These rooms are a bit larger and give you extra seating!
If you choose this room, you will find that it not only features a couch (that turns into a bed), but also has a chair. The extra seating is a nice addition.
Concierge Stateroom (Disney Cruise Room for 6 or 7)
Talk about luxury. These fancy Disney Cruise line staterooms have a separate bedroom area, and private balcony with their own private lounge area that is packed with cold water and snacks.
This extra space is great for big families who aren’t easily confined to one small room.
The private lounge gives you a quiet space to get away (without having to be far from your own stateroom).
What You’ll Find in ALL Disney Cruise Staterooms:
- Split bathrooms (in most staterooms) and privacy curtains between bed & bunks
- Throw Blanket
- FREE toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash & lotion)
- Post Cards & Notepaper
- A refrigerator
- A hairdryer
- Television
- Housekeeping services twice a day (morning; typically before lunch & evening turndown service)
*When trying to determine which Disney Cruise fits in your budget, you may find that there is only a small price difference between the inside cabins and those with a balcony on the Disney Dream, Fantasy & Wish ships while a much larger price difference between that on the Magic & Wonder regardless of number of nights or destination.
This is because there are far fewer balcony rooms on the Magic and Wonder, causing them to be more expensive.
