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

Still trying to find this room on the ship pics. Does anyone know if a pic exists for this side of the ship?

Because of how the ship was parked at the dock at MW, we didn't get any great closeups of the left side of the ship. However, your room is directly across the ship from 10554 which you can see in the top right side of this picture.

Thank you! I would assume Cove Cafe spans the entire level, so that should be above us as well? Or would something else(adult pool?) be over us?

You are very conveniently located to cove cafe, but I don't think it's above your room or anything.

If you look at the deck plan, you are directly across from the stairwell. On the 11th floor deck plan, when you look directly across the stairwell, it actually looks like you have restrooms directly above your room, and then some tables and chairs above your verandah. (Remember deck 11 sticks out a bit further over Deck 10.)

Cove cafe takes up the forward part of the funnel under which your room sits, but is actually a bit more forward and to the left of your actual room separated by a little bit of grey space from the restrooms above your room.

Based on the floorplans we've seen of the staterooms, they look the same as the ones on the Magic and Wonder, with the exception of the one bedroom suites and the royal suites, and the fact that some rooms have the funky-looking round tub & showers. Those look to me as if they just take up more space in the bedroom areas.

Cats 4, 5 & 6 all look close enough to being the same that I think if you chose one of those, it would come down to a matter of your favorite location.

I'm debating booking either a category 5 or 6 (verandah view). I am confused by all the sub categories within those classes

Thank you for all your help! I just booked this room last week and it was slim pickens. So I am very happy with everything I've learned about this room. So with deck 11 protruding out bit, we might get some shade! Yor thread is awesome!

The lettered subcategories are all tied to location, and not an indicator that the actual room is any different. The subcategories start with the assumption that highest and midship is the most preferred, so that's generally your A categories.

The difference between 6A and 6B is easy, since they are all located aft, the 6A aft verandahs are on higher decks than the 6B verandahs are.

For the Cat 5 verandahs, since they put mostly Cat 4 rooms in the midship locations, they also go generally by decks, with Cat A on Decks 10 and 9, and going down by deck from there (B = 8, C=7, D=6, E=5).

You need to decide whether you want Cat 6 or 5, then it's a choice between price and location. I try to start at the lowest/cheapest category that's on Deck 6 or higher (because I personally don't want to be above the night clubs or theatres), and then look for location, non-obstructed vs. obstructed, non-connecting vs connecting, and other items (like some of the possibly bigger verandahs in the Cat 6 aft rooms.)

My apologies that I don't have time to hunt out your specific room, but Hygiene99 just keyed me into some new pictures posted on the marinetraffic site that are good shots of the left side. Here are two that I'm sure you'll be able to see your specific room on (apologies for the links, but I don't have time to upload them to photobucket to get the actual picture's posted.)

Thanks for the info. I am looking to book a cat 6B hopefully on deck 7

Sounds good! I'm thinking that 7690 followed by 6690 might turn out to be two of my favorite rooms, given they are non-connecting rooms with no rooms across the hall from them, depending of course on what ends up in that mysterious grey space across from them on the deck plan.

We actually had the chance to upgrade to 7690 on one of my Fantasy sailings, but I'm thinking we'll pass on upgrading from our 8C room and use the $400 for photos or something else.

According to DCL's reservation line, my TA, and the new travel agent's large Disney Cruise Line Vacation Planner book, the ONLY accessible stateroom in the aft that has a verandah is #9170.
The early deck plans that were posted here on the DIS....by Dreams Unlimited, showed most of the corner rooms aft as being accessible, but this is not true.

We have that room for the Fantasy in may of 2012! It looks just awesome.

Thanks for all the links and pics... truely amazing... Thanks!

This is a fantastic thread. Thanks so much for the detailed photos! I wish that had been around when we cruised the magic a few years ago. I spent HOURs poring over deck plans to try to figure out where we were and all that. This is fabulous and right up my alley. I can't wait to cruise again, those shots make me want to book one asap and change our plans! Thank you!

Thanks Peter, and HallsofVA!! I can "see" my room.

For the Dream, that is.

I sure will. I'll have then give you little chocolates every night just for you! And I'll let you know the pros and cons of the room!

I guess we'll find out.

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

This is a great picture.....there's no way anyone will be able to see up there, and it won't be easy for people in the forward rooms to see the teens, either.

I came across this picture the other day and thought it was pretty cool:

Just remember that is the artist's rendering, and not the actual ship! But for all you 5E folks, notice how the artist rendering doesn't have the 5E balconies extending out to the edge of the ship as they do now in real life? You can see what I meant earlier that it was either going to be the upper balconies looking down at the white metal (as in the picture above), or into the extended 5E balconies as they are now in reality.
