I opened the door and got my first glimpse of the room that was going to be our home for the next week.
We had booked a Cat 6 stateroom which can sleep up to four people. The queen sized bed can be separated into two twin sized beds, the couch can be turned into a bed and there is another bed that can be pulled down from the ceiling by the stateroom attendant.
I was very pleased. I was a bit afraid ahead of time about how big the room was going to be but really I didn't think it was small at all. It was nice and roomy, plenty of space in there for Mom and I both to spread out and have personal space.
There was also lots of storage room for all our stuff, no worries on that front. The closet had lots of room, there was a dresser and steamer trunk and then the desk also had lots of storage space as well.
This is the steamer trunk
The only part of the room that was a bit cramped was the entry hallway, only one person at a time in that area of the room.
The tv was great. It was on a pull-out stand and could swing around for better viewing according to where you were in the room. So you could adjust to watch from the bed, couch, verandah. Also under the tv is a mini-fridge that was pretty small but could hold a couple bottles of water etc.
Almost all of the rooms on the Disney cruise ships feature what they call split-bathrooms. Basically you have two bathrooms in your room. One has the toilet and a sink and the other has the shower/bath and a sink. This makes it much easier for getting ready in the morning/evening.
The bathrooms were rather small but that is to be expected on a ship, if it had just been one joined bathroom there would have been more room but then you would have lost the advantage of the split bathrooms.
There was a sign over the toilet reminding you to always close the lid before flushing. If you think that Pop Century has turbo toilets just wait until you see these ones!
There was also lots of storage room in the bathrooms.
The blowdryer however is pretty ineffective. Especially for somebody like me. It takes at least 30 minutes to dry my hair with a regular blowdryer. So ladies, if a blow dryer is important to you bring your own!
The bedside lamps
We went out onto the verandah and were so happy to see that it had stopped raining!
View of the room from the verandah
The closet
The safe was located in the closet as well as the lifejackets for the room.
You can see what I mean about Port Canaveral not being all that pretty....
That is the Kennedy Space Center you can see off in the distance. If it had been a nicer day we would have had a better view of it.

How funny that you were in the same cabin but on the Wonder. It was definitely a great location, right near the mid-ship elevators.
Well acually Iliked th rest of the Jamaica tour !!
I do wish we had done the tour of the ruins in Mexico but we didn't !! So if I ever do a Cruise I would want to do the Eastern or if the family goes will prolly do a 4 day one !!
