We are thinking about booking a 4e on Deck 5. I'm not crazy..... the staterooms are actually a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah, not a Deluxe FAMILY Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah, right? What you are giving up in room size, you are getting in balcony, right?

Are there any staterooms that give you both? I know, I know, everyone wants everything. I'm willing to pay for it though, I swear!
 
4E staterooms are in fact Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms w/ Verandah.

The inside of the staterooms will be the same size as any of the other Deluxe Family staterooms (except handicapped rooms). The balcony will be slightly larger than normal if you get a room on either port or starboard, but nothing majorly different from normal verandas. If you get one of the staterooms that face directly aft, those staterooms have much larger verandas.
 
We have stayed 4E starboard on both Fantasy and Dream, and love the aft location on both! If you have kids that utilize the clubs late, your journey home is very short at the end of the day. And the verandah is deeper (though no wider), but the extra depth comes at the cost of a little privacy if that matters to you. The room is the same size as other deluxe family categories, but you have a traditional, square tub - not the round one.
 
Here's a fairly good indicator of extra cabin size: how many does it sleep? If 4, the cabin is most likely about 3 ft shorter than the Family Deluxe. The 5th berth is the Murphy Bed that is just after the pull down bunk/sofa.

At least this has been our experience thus far.
 

So it looks like the reason for what I'm seeing (and I'm not crazy) is that they were 5E and changed to 4E. Disney must feel like the extra verandah is equivalent to extra room space.

So.... DOES anyone know of an actual Deluxe Family Oceanview *with* an oversized verandah?

My apologies. They are shorter in that none of them have the extra length for the Murphy bed. Our first cruise on the Dream they were still cat 5 staterooms, and we were shocked that they were the least expensive at the time, because of the extra room. By the time we sailed Fantasy in 2016, we still wanted the location, but they had "adjusted" the pricing of the cabin.
