Just Booked Room 5520 For 3 Night Cruise and Have Questions

[crazy4mickey]

This is our family's first cruise, so we decided to do Disney (3 night cruise---taking baby steps!!)
I have a few questions that hopefuly can be answered.
First of all, from reading all of the threads about the secret porthole rooms, we were able to book 5520 in February. How is this room and how is the motion. As I understand, this may depend on the water, but was just wondering. Also, how is the view?
If anyone has been on the cruise in February, how is the weather. My DW likes relaxing on the sand and is looking forward to being on the deck.
Any info would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!!

Barb has photos of the view through your window at her web site...

You should be fine with the motion. You will feel a little side-to-side motion, but you would feel that anywhere on the ship. I wouldn't give up 5520 for the chance of less motion in another stateroom.

We have had 5520. It is a great room with a great location! The view is just slightly blocked! I would book it again in a second!
Have a great time!

The secret porthole rooms are great!
The only thing that is different from the regular ones is that there is a light on outside all night, but it is easily blocked with the heavy curtains. Also, if the curtain is open, be sure that you are "decent" because workers are sometimes right outside your window. We have lots of secret porthole trips booked...those rooms are a great way to save some $$$ and still get some sunlight.

Looks like you have plenty of replies on the room - now for the weather.

Obviously it can be different but when we went in Feb it was delightful. Cool in Port Canaveral but once out to sea it was fab! Daytimes were really not that different from what we had in August! In the 80s. The water was a bit cooler but definitely swimmable.
