Notes: We loved our stateroom. The porthole is huge and offers a great view and good light. The room was the most spacious we've ever had on DCL: tons of living and storage space. It is not a connecting room, we had no issues with ship noise, and there is minimal hallway traffic in this part of the ship. We watched the New Year's fireworks from our porthole: we had to look at an angle but had a nice view. The rainshower and round tub were great, although the small tub seems to result in an inch or so of water staying in the tub throughout the shower. No problem, though, as we loved the rainshower regardless. Our muster drill was outside on deck four. My son enjoyed sleeping in the murphy bed that gets pulled out right next to the big porthole. There is no bunk bed in this room- it sleeps four. It is a relatively long walk to aft dining locations from this room, but we appreciated the opportunity to get a little extra exercise in, given how much we tend to eat on cruises. There was a small nick in the leather cushion on the porthole, but other than that the stateroom looked very new. Before the cruise I was worried about excessive movement in the forward area, but that did not occur during our cruise (a 7-night Eastern). We booked another future Fantasy cruise onboard and chose the same stateroom. |

Notes: My cousins’ and I really enjoyed this room. There was not a lot of traffic going to this room because we were towards the end of the ship. We really enjoyed the big porthole the views were amazing especially the view we had of Castaway Cay.
There was one small nit picky thing but if the seas aren’t rough it shouldn’t be a issue for anyone
The last night of our cruise we had rough seas we can hear loud rumbling and shaking the sound woke us up but it only lasted a few hours so we were able to get sleep |

Notes: The room was very clean, our room host was Amazing and the whole atmosphere was just incredible. This was our first cruise so we didn't really know what to expect however we were so impressed that we have booked again for 2019. I was traveling solo with my to kids ( 11yrs and 8 yrs) so I was a little stressed but all the Disney crew were so helpful and lovely. I liked this room as it was quiet and well kept. Our host remembered little things like what animals we liked and made them out of towels, asked us how our day was and what we were up to each morning along with making sure he had our rooms ready at the same time each day. We couldn't of asked for a better host! the views of port were excellent and there was enough room for the three of us in a 5 person room. We didn't feel as much movement as we thought we would feel either so that was great. |

Notes: This was our first cruise and we were pleasantly surprised. The room was very comfortable and the large porthole was great. While in port at Castaway Cay we saw several sea turtles swimming by ... that was really cool! Room was convenient to the forward elevators. Two floors away from the pools and beverages. Plenty of drawer space and closet space. Don't know if all cruise ships do this or not but the split bathroom was terrific! We booked a second cruise while we were still on board and specifically requested this room again. |

Notes: Wonderful stateroom! Great location - quiet with easy access to the elevators, upper decks, spa, adult pool and Walt Disney Theater/Gift Shops. This was our 2nd Disney cruise (1st on the Wonder) and we loved having a verandah again, this time to Alaska. Ours was the perfect location for it. Great view of Seattle on embark/disembark day and of Tracy Arm. The passage to Tracy Arm was very narrow, so we found it much better to go up on deck in order to really take in the full scale of the scenery. There is also a light hanging down from the left side of the deck above that created a minor challenge when taking photos off the verandah, but otherwise it was wonderful in every way! Be prepared for hair dryers that take a while and for curling/straightening hair at the desk in the room. The outlets in the bathrooms won't work for much of anything. Also, there aren't a whole lot of hangers, so come prepared to layer whatever you need to hang up. I brought a over-the-door shoe organizer and a hanging laundry basket, which were also a big help. The room was a little creaky on our first night due to rougher waters. Made me queasy the next day, but the rest of the family (hubby and two kids, 8 and 10) did great. Maybe bring some anti-nauseau meds just in case. Above all, have fun and enjoy every second! |

Notes: Our location was very quiet. We were at the end of the hall-pretty much all the way forward. It was a short walk to the forward elevators. There were 2 adults and one teenager in the room and there was enough room. Everything was in working order and looked great! |

Notes: Cabin was very quiet.
Despite being far forward, we were not bothered by wave movement. This was true even though 1st night sea was very, very rough. |
