Dream special rooms - now that we see the pictures! ** Index now in Post 7 **

[KingRichard]

Thank you for the info!

Just something I thought about suddenly- what about the deck(s) above? So deck 5 extended out but then the decks above look down to see part of deck 5 verandahs. That's odd. Isn't it?
And the dividers would have to come out further, no? (looks like we can see something that "looks like" poles sticking out from the top too- railing for dividers to come out further? to end of verandah?)
And then the 5E room right next to the last one that is partially obstructed- it sticks out further and the last one doesn't so then they can be on their verandah looking back and seeing the entire other verandah? That's odd too. This whole configuration is weird to me. LOL I'm used to verandahs being all even across- so a person would really have to reach around/crane their neck around to see your entire verandah like that- and used to the floor above sticking out same (or further) above so they can't look down and see your verandah. It's foreign to me, that's for sure.

(I've had our room on both cruises changed to 5050. I have a feeling 5024/5524 are going to need to be classified a different category, but we'll see)

What about the blank room above the small boat? Maybe even 2 blank rooms with no windows or doors?

We're booked in rm 5534 (5E) on the Dream. We're thinking (hoping) that the verandah will go out farther than the ones above and that the people above us would be able to look down at us when we're at the railing; but, when under the roof, they wouldn't be able to see us. Sort of like on the Magic/Wonder aft verandahs that you could see some of when looking down from the outdoor seating of the buffet. Not that WE ever looked down there.

Believe me, we will take lots of Photo's..

Someone make a list and when we go on the Cabin tour We have set up, I will try to address concerns...
in like 72 days........

Ooooh, I can't wait for pictures. We are in 7190 and 7192, aft. I am dying to know about the verandah, if you can see through it well, and what the deal is with the divider.

IDK
I think it's been said that last room there is a handicapped room- but it is NOT handicapped on the other side. I think that's what I've read. I'm confused about the whole thing to be honest. LOL

Oh well IDK... I guess some people like bigger verandahs but personally we're fine with the small ones. We just like to sit and look out though- and with extended verandah if you sat back "under" what would you see? And you'd be out unprotected from sun and rain while at the railing? It'll be a different experience I suppose... it's interesting because I never dreamed at cat 5 verandah would end up being bigger (sq footage) than higher categories.

Here's a new photo from Andreas as she sailed away tonight with some updated shots of some aft verandah dividers!

What about the blank room above the small boat? Maybe even 2 blank rooms with no windows or doors?

The one room with a verandah door (the first one to the right of the lifeboats as you're looking at the pictures) is 5552. It's an accessible room, so it has a larger balcony. There is a blank space next to it (closer to the lifeboats) that is probably just blank space. My opinion is that they should have extended 5552's balcony over there, but it could be maintenance space.

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Andreas posted some XXL pictures, and we are able to get a good view of the flagpole with the cables, etc. in place so you can judge possible blockage (except for seeing an actual flag in place.)

Stacy- just wanted to say that I was looking thru the photos again and I see now what you were talking about the angle of the photo. So the area where the ropes "come to" on deck 5 really is beside that stateroom and not smack in front of it! The square you outlined is over to the side on the railing- not on the wall next to the door like I originally thought!

Sorry about my confusion.
but it does appear the ropes go down/straight down from deck 6 to deck 5 and THEN go across.... only slightly different from what you described. I guess that means the ropes will kinda go across 5192 then? I mean sorta in front of it but ofcourse too far out for anyone to mess with it?

Here's another question though- we have both 5192 and 5190... what is that little "doorway" (sorta?) looking area on the divider showing in this photo? I mean instead of looking like a solid white wall for the divider to the side there- it has a gray area that looks like I don't know what. Any clue what that is? Wait it looks like a little door there is open. Well that's interesting. LOL Is THAT normal like on Magic/Wonder? Verandahs with little doors thru the dividers?

Given the wide *hips* that the Dream has, and the way the staterooms are set in from the widest parts of the ship, the folks above were either going to be looking down on the part that juts out to go over the boats, etc, or they were going to be looking down on your verandahs. Eitherway, it's not a straight line down to the ocean as on the current ships. By extending the 5E verandahs out as they have, at least the 5E folks can look down at something, otherwise they were only going to be looking out and up!

What about the blank room above the small boat? Maybe even 2 blank rooms with no windows or doors?

The white wall is the extended space of the accessible room. The blank space next to it looks like a stair or other access space to get to the boats and other stuff.

They've got a bunch of junk piled up over there, so it's hard to tell what's what. I noticed that before, though, it almost looks like a metal bar, or handrail type thing. I have no idea what it is, or if it will even stay there.
It might be something they placed there for while they're working and will remove.

I just looked again at the picture...it almost looks like there's a small, round-top door.....maybe it's a doggie door? Or for the dwarves??? Kidding! It just has to be something that they aren't finished with, is all I can say.

Those dividers don't look like they'll open the way some do. They look solid enough (almost like I-Beams) to actually be supports as opposed to just verandah dividers.

I can only guess about the ropes. I HOPE they don't block anyone's view. The only good part is that they're only up while the ship is in port, so I guess for the little time we're on our balconies in port, it won't be a really big deal.

Hopefully you can read this!

All I can say is "WOW"

I've been thinking about the rooms forward on the Dream, though...and I don't know what time they'll close the Teen area out front, nor do I know how well the teens will be able to see up toward the rooms, but if I had a forward room, I'd keep the curtains drawn at night anyway. Just in case the kids down there could see up and in. I'm not used to having a room where someone could see INTO it. I think they would have to put some kind of sunscreen or whatever on those windows for privacy and to keep the glare out.

I guess we'll find out.

 

[justmestace]

I guess we'll find out.

Then again....if they CAN see in, you could have a little fun with those young whippersnappers!

Just surprised that there are no windows then?

 

[justmestace]

Just surprised that there are no windows then?

Even the larger accessible rooms on the Magic and Wonder only had verandah doors, no windows. There will be a HUGE bathroom against part of one wall, and the desk, tv, etc along there also. And a couple of the accessible rooms on the older ships also had a large closet to park a scooter in.
So that space probably is used up and doesn't allow for a window anyway.


For my dream cruise next year, I'm waitlisted for 5552. I'm on Deck 6 in an accessible room now, but would like to move down and save some $$. I'm really hoping that someone is holding on to this room (who doesn't need it and won't be able to get the required medical form) and will have to let it go.

 

[olewnikpe]

Hopefully you can read this!

That's incredible that you labeled all of the rooms. It's great to see where the many features of the ship are located. Any chance of continuing further forward. We're booked in #7560 in May, and would love to see where our room is located in respect to the other destinations on the ship.

 

[Piecey]

I think this picture shows pretty clearly that the 5E's are going to have extended verandahs. I know why they did it but it still seems a little odd to me.

 

[kritter]

All I can say is "WOW"

Thanks for doing this. I was able to locate our room!! ..

 

[DisneyDreamer8]

I was watching the live stream of the Dream leaving the MF yard today. At one point the camera could see into the "two porthole" rooms on deck 1 and they looked like normal staterooms. Since the deck plans have no passenger cabins on deck 1 do you think they are for officers or special guests? Or are they going to list some passenger cabins on deck 1?

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

You asked also about the dividers being able to open up to the next stateroom. All of them were like that on the Wonder and Magic, they just had either been painted over or rusted too much to open any more, and the rooms stewards refused to even try.
So the dividers won't be any different than what they are on the other ships when they're closed.

Where did you get that info the balconies on the Magic and Wonder have never been able to be connected.
