Just found this thread and we just booked Rm 5052 on the Fantasy Dec 2012. It is a 5E category so I am guessing it has an extended balcony, right? Also, it looks like it will be a good location according to HallsofVA? Thanks for this thread!

5052 is the furthest from the Theater so I'm guessing that it'll be okay as far as sound goes. It's on a dead end so there will be no traffic to speak of. Like HallsofVA I like the opposite side of the ship as it backs into CC and I get a better view with my verandah.

Thanks HallsofVA! I did see the photos in this thread and they were very helpful and got me very excited about the extra verandah space! I will definitely take photos of the room so if no one has posted inside photos by April 1, let me know and I will post mine!

33 days! w00t!!!!

Whats your sail date? is it March 31st? I will be on that one!

After months of checking the reservation page I was finally assigned a stateroom. #7688. From the deck plans it look great with a HUGE veranda. I am scared that it is too good to be true. It is a upgrade so I am worried that they might take it away from me. I can't find any pictures or information about it. Any thoughts? It is a handicapped room. How would that make it different than a non-handicapped room? Size? Bathroom?

7688 is not yet categorized as a handicap accessible. It has the size for one, and it's in the same location as the accessible rooms on the Wonder and Magic, but so far, on the Dream it isn't outfitted as such.

If this is the room they have on your reservation, and it's an upgrade, then congrats!! And not to worry, they won't take it away from you, unless they upgrade you even further.

The bathroom will likely not have the step-up, as regular rooms do, and it may only have a walk-in shower, rather than a shower/tub combo. But I can't be sure of that, since I haven't seen any pictures.

Now...IF they do end up outfitting this room as handicap before your cruise, there could be a chance that they might move you....IF someone with needs has to have that room.
But I wouldn't worry about that happening. It's a couple of pretty big "ifs".

Hi,

I've just booked my first ever Disney Cruise!! I have been assigned room 9174, whitewall verandah room.

Is this located at the back of the ship? Is it in a good spot?

Where is the best location for a room? Do you get better views from deck 10?

Thanks!

It is at the back. Deck 10 would be under Cabanas so not sure if there is noise issue.

These rooms have nice, deep verandahs. It is pretty much right in the center of the aft of the ship. As far as an aft view, it wouldn't make a difference if you were on Deck 9 or Deck 10...it will be the same. I think it's a great location. For my Dream cruise, I have 9172 and for my Fantasy cruise I have 9170.

Someone did post a picture of the balcony on one of these rooms. I'll try to find it.

 

[justmestace]

This is a video of 9672....should be basically the same as all of those Deck 9 aft staterooms, except for the two on each corner.

We are trying out two categories in Nov on the Dream, the first is 6A 10166 and the second is 8C 8166. I haven't seen any room reports for either one yet.

The room in the You Tube video that I posted on the previous page should be a pretty good representative of room 10166. There may be some minor differences, but not many.

Here's a youTube video of room #10658 - don't know if it's anything like yours, but the numbers are somewhat similar.

We're booked into 10096 - haven't seen that one posted anywhere either. I'm sure it will show up sometime....

Have a great cruise.

Just watched a video of one of the verandah rooms on the side of the ship. The balcony is tiny!!!!!

We have these 3 cabins 9174 9176 and 9674 booked for Dec 2012 ---can anyone answer a couple of questions please?

On the deck plans there is a "narrow gray area" shown between 9176 and 9674--does anyone know what this area is?

I understand the verandah dividers can be opened between cabins not just connecting cabins. Will we be able to have the verandahs "open" between all 3 of our cabins or do you think this "gray area" will prevent verandahs for 9176 and 9674 from being connected?

The pictures from earlier posts look like people standing all the way across these verandahs.

It would be so great if all 3 could be open and connectd to each other.

My other option is an earlier cruise in Dec in cabins 9172 9174 9176, but I am not sure I want the 9172 as it connects to 9170. I don't want a connecting room, if it is connecting with someone other than our travel party.

Thanks for any information

Hi all, I have actually changed my room to 9672 as the verandah is bigger

I wanted either room 9170 0r 9670 but they were taken. Does anyone know why these rooms are so much bigger?

 

[ptmmg]

does anybody know anything about room 9168? I guess 9670 is taken so they gave me this room

 

[justmestace]

9170 is a dedicated handicapped room, so it will be held out for someone with needs.
ALL of the aft corner rooms are larger than the others, and it has been speculated that eventually they will become handicap accessible also....that was probably DCL's intent, anyway, but final preparations for those rooms haven't been done yet.

So far, with all but 9170 being held for the disabled, those other corner rooms are going to sell out at the first moments of booking availability, BECAUSE they are so much larger than the others in that category.

If DCL doesn't retro-fit them as accessible, then they should make them a higher category at a higher price. Doesn't feel quite fair to have them the same price as smaller rooms in the same category.

 

[justmestace]

9168 is a "standard" Cat 6A.....much like the Cat 6 on the Magic and Wonder, only smaller.
On the Dream, the Cat 6A's are 246 sq feet, including the verandah, and on the Magic and Wonder, they are 268 sq feet, including the verandah.

The corner rooms are probably over 400 sq feet....at least, if not more.
That's why, unless they become Handicap only, they will always sell out first.
