Fantasy Maiden Voyage ~ Adventures of Stateroom 9577

[Belle2007]

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Adventures of Stateroom 9577.....

Who are we? My name is Peggy and my husband is David. We've been married for eight years and we both LOVE everything Disney.

We booked the Maiden Voyage on a whim.... the conversation went something like:

Dave: "We have reservations for the Maiden Voyage, right?"
Me: "Um.. No."
Dave: "We need reservations..."
Me: "OK!"

That leads us to the most amazing room on the Fantasy... Statement 9577... Midship....

Ignore the DVC magnet for now.... that is another story!

Stateroom 9577 is an awesome inside room... with a virtual porthole!!! Very cool!

Up next.... presents in the room... Sail away party...

Hi! Joining in You and your husband are a very cute couple! If you have any secrets about how you got your husband to ask you if there were reservations, please do share lol I look forward to reading all about your trip!

Welcome!!! Thanks for subscribing!!

So where was I??? YES!! PRESENTS... what was waiting for us when we FIRST entered Stateroom 9577, you ask????

WHY, it was the Castaway Club Member gift bag.... which Dave immediately declared was his!!!

On the desk we found these beauties waiting for us!!!

I LOVED this inside room. It was located perfectly midship, close to the elevator and stairs... we shoved our suitcases under the bed. I think there was more room under the bed than on the Magic. Also, we had a steamer trunk for clothes....

If you are thinking about doing an inside room, do it! The virtual porthole was amazing... It is actually a camera on the front of the ship (there are rooms with the rear ship views, too).... you can see a Carnival ship in our porthole here!

Up next?!?! Ready for the SailAway Party!!!

Excited to hear about your adventure. We are on the May 26th cruise and will be in the cabin that was right next door to yours. (9077) Looking forward to leaning what you liked and disliked about the cabin. I'm glad to hear there was a steamer trunk. That extra storage comes in handy.

Enjoying the TR, but am I the only one for whom the pictures are all "x'd" out (not visible)?

Oh my goodness that is the exact stateroom we have booked for our October trip on the Fantasy! So glad it is close to the elevators for my mum - we checked it out when we were on the Dream last october but was scared things may have changed.

LOVE THE CABIN!!!

This was our fourth cruise and our second time in an inside room. It never felt like an inside room!

The virtual porthole is amazing! At night, there is really nothing to see, so the porthole is kind of like a static tv..... but then the light rises and you see that in the room! It is amazing!

There is a switch to shut off the virtual porthole... there were a few mornings where I wished I slept on that side of the bed.... Dave loved having the porthole on all night/day.

The bathroom is not split but that wasn't a problem for us. The shower seems bigger and there are two laundry lines.

There was one time where the toilet didn't flush, but when we called for maintenance there was something wrong with the whole area... but that didn't last long.

You can store your luggage under the bed, but I missed the bigger trunk thing that the Magic had. So I had to squish my day clothes into the desk drawers since Dave took the trunk.

I would so stay in this room again!

I'm sorry you cannot see the pictures... I can still see them... So I'm not sure what is wrong.

That is great to hear. this will be our 15th cruise and always a category 11 (hence why I can afford to go each year!). We loved the virtual porthole last year on the Dream so am glad to hear the room sounds as good.

Hi Wendy! How awesome is that??!?! I figured that folks would want to know about the room. The elevators are close. The only 'downside' is that they are midship so that they may get a tad crowded, but if you plan accordingly you won't have a problem

I knew I recognised you both but I couldnt place from where - we just watched his video last night - it is excellent! Please pass on our thanks to him.
