Cat 11 rooms

[Barbmouse63]

I've read a lot of posts on this board lately about Cat 11 rooms. It seems that most people are very satisfied with them. I keep thinking that I need an oceanview room...can't afford the verandah! Should I just save the extra $ and go for the cat 11 room? (And does that mean I could book a cat 12)? The ones on Deck 7 sound great...if I get cat9 I'm on Deck 2. Please help with pros and cons...cat11 vs cat 9. Is it worth the extra $? I don't think we'll be in the room a lot on the 4 day. There are 4 of us (dks 9 and 12). Thanks so much! You guys have the best advice!!

If you don't care that you won't have outside light in your cabin then save the money. I would recommend a category 10 though. The cat 11's are a little smaller, and the split bath and extra storage space in the cat 10 will be better for your family.
I'd recommend the cat 11 if you had 5 or more in your family and had to get 2 cabins. Or if your kids are very young, and having one bathroom isn't an issue.

We had no problems with a Cat 11. You sleep very well! Bring a nightlight so that it is not so dark at night. I also think it depends on if you are on the 4 day or 7 day??? 2 of us were ok,but you may want more room with 4. We only use our room to sleep,change and shower and so we were not in there that much.

I have managed to snag 2 of the secret porthole rooms for my last Wonder cruise and the one on the Magic coming up in October! Those are great! Cat 10 with windows. You pay an inside price,but have a window with a slight obstruction. It was nice have some sunlight and the split bathroom.

I must say though if it was the difference between getting to go and not going I would take the Cat 11 in a heartbeat! Book early and maybe you will get an upgrade???

I just booked a cat 11 on deck 7. We have a family of 4 (kids will be 9 and 12, too) and, according to the TA, there were few cabins (on deck 7 cat 11 )Disney would actually book for 4. All others on deck 7, cat 11 slept 3.

I am also wondering the same about size, storage and a window. I am looking at the cat 8 on Deck 7, but I'm estimating it will cost about $500 more. I think we're going to keep our cat 11 and use the extra money for excursions (which add up for a family of 4) or a few days at Disney after the trip.

I, too, am interested in what others say who have stayed in cat. 11 with 4 people. My husband and I stayed in cat 11 on a 3 day and honestly, were rarely in our room.

On our first cruise we in a Cat 11 w/4. It was close, but workable. We weren't in the room very often. On our 2nd we booked a Cat 10. Much better. More storage and the split bath worked very well. If it were just my dh and I Cat 12 & 11 would be great, but with four a Cat 10 worked better for use because of the split bath.
