So confused, Disney Fantasy cabin location

[rentayenta]

Hi. I've Googled and looked at the DC site and am super confused. I'm currently looking at an Eastern Caribbean Cruise for next January on the Disney Fantasy. I can't figure out the difference in between the following cabin numbers or what deck they're on?

Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah
Category 04A
Category 04B
Category 04C
Category 04D


I tried to plan a cruise a couple of years ago but life happened. This cruise looks like it could come to fruition.

Any help would be appreciated.

From the DCL website:

The Deluxe Family Stateroom with Verandah is classified as Categories 4A - 4E located Midship of Decks 6 - 10 as follows:
•Category 4A: Decks 9, 10
•Category 4B: Deck 8
•Category 4C: Deck 7
•Category 4D: Deck 6
•Category 4E: Deck 5 – Oversized Private Verandah

The difference between them is location. All 4's are the same type room:

Specifications
•Sleeps: 3 to 5
•Size: 299 sq. ft. including verandah
•Room Configuration: Queen-size bed, single convertible sofa, wall pull-down bed (in most) and upper berth pull-down bed (in some), split bath with round tub (in most) and shower
•View: Private verandah

Those are located on Deck 9 and 10, I believe!

And apparently I was confused, too!! HAHA!

Thank you. I have a really dumb follow up question... Are 9 and 10 near the top or bottom of the ship?

Yes, thank you, but I guess what am asking is what number is the top and which is the bottom of the ship? Am I even making sense?

 

[rentayenta]

Top.

Is there a *better* deck between those options? Is higher always better?

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Yes, thank you, but I guess what am asking is what number is the top and which is the bottom of the ship? Am I even making sense?

Deck one is the deck closest to the water line. Deck 14 is the deck at the top of the ship.

Do you know where I could find a diagram? I Googled and came up with drawings so tiny I couldn't read them.

On the DCL website
http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/

Hover over the "Ships and Activities" tab. Click on "Staterooms Disney Dream & Fantasy"

Just underneath the picture is a button "Deck Plan". Click on that. It takes a few seconds to load, but then you can use the deck numbers on the right side of the page to click on and see the deck layout. When you are looking at the deck layout, putting your curser on a room will bring up info about that room.

Thank you! That is exactly what I needed.

Are all of the Disney ships numbered like this? We may be on the Wonder now.

Yes, deck one is the closest to the waterline. But, on the classic ships, the highest deck is deck 10.

Here is a link to the Dream/Fantasy deck plan.

You will get varied responses on what deck is "better". But here is my two cents.

I try to avoid deck 10 on the Dream and Fantasy, some of the rooms are right below the pool deck, and I had a bad experience on another cruise line with deck chairs and power washing occurring at 5am right above where I was trying to sleep.

I try to stick to places where there are staterooms above and below me. So, our favorite is Deck 8. We were just in a 4B, 8610, on the Dream, in January. It is midship, and 8 is almost the same distance from everything (restaurants, pools, etc.) We always choose the Starboard side, since that will face Castaway Cay when you dock there.

You think like I do.
I want cabins above and below
I want a midship location close to elevators and stairs
I want Starboard side(Fireworks, Castaway Cay view)
Deck 7 or 8 is great for us-equal distance up to pool deck or down to Atrium/Oceaneers Club/Dining.

This sounds perfect! I definitely don't want pool noise above me nor do I want to be on the lowest deck.

If you go through a booking on the DCL website, when you are choosing a stateroom it will tell you what deck or decks that stateroom may be located on.

The Wonder is different in that the difference between an A,B,C, etc. of the same category is more about location (forward, mid ship, aft) than deck number. Typically, A is priced more than a B and so on, but usually not by much. All category 4s are on deck 8. Are you travelling with 5, or just want a larger room? I believe on the Fantasy, a 4E only sleeps 4. Hope that helps.
