Cabin: Deluxe Inside Stateroom

This was my 9th cruise, but my first time on Disney. I love the Disney brand and their commitment to family fun, but it comes at a very high price.

Embarkation in Vancouver was similar to waiting in line for a ride at Disneyland - weaving back and forth. However, it did move very quickly, even with all of the strollers. They did board by number, which eliminated a huge line to actually get on the ship and it was really neat how they announced each family as they came on. From the beginning, every employee was always smiling. Access to the cabins did not begin until 1:30, and due to the rain, the open restaurants became very crowded, very quickly. Maneuvering around the buffet with carry-on luggage was tricky at times. We chose to eat outdoors in a covered area - it was a little chilly, but at least we had room to move.

We normally book cabins with a balcony, but our friends used their Disney Vacation Club points for us so we were in a deluxe inside cabin. I was pleasantly surprised at how much space there was. I loved the split bathrooms and the ample storage. The hair dryer wasn't the greatest, but having one provided was definitely a plus.

Cabin Review

Deluxe Inside Stateroom

Cabin 10B

We had a deluxe inside cabin on deck two. The split bathroom came in very handy. Having two sinks and the toilet separate from the shower was an added convenience. There was plenty of drawer and closet space as well. We needed an extension cord for my husband's breathing machine as the outlet was too far and we would have been tripping over it. The clock was too bright and it was broken so the time could not be set, but I had my own clock, so it didn't matter. The hair dryer wasn't the greatest, but at least they had one so it was one less thing I needed to pack. I liked the wave phones they provided. It allowed us to stay in touch with each other when we participated in different activities. The location of our cabin was great - low and in the middle, so there was minimal rocking.
