This was our second cruise with DCL but the first DCL cruise for our 11 almost 12 years old daughter. See the ship docked at the terminal as we were arriving via the Disney shuttle, we were bouncing out of our seats from excitement. We couldn't wait to be on the ship.
Once inside the terminal, there were 2 lines - one for new passengers and one for returning passengers. As my husband and I are silver castaway members, we were prepared and ready to wait in the very long line for returning passengers. Some friendly cast member saw us and pointed us to the new passengers line. There were very few people in this line so we were able to breeze through to the pre-sail pictures and then onto the ship. The lobby is absolutely magnificent! As we were not able to get to our stateroom right away, we headed off to Cabanas and had an amazing lunch. Our daughter was very impressed with the different pizzas available.
After lunch, we made our way to our stateroom - 5186. To my surprise, the room was much bigger than what I had thought. Since it was an accessible room, we didn't have the split bath or round bathtub. And so much storage space!! And the bedding was really comfortable too. The room had a couch that converted to a bed for our daughter though she switched to the Pullman bed after a couple of nights.
Excellent room, quite spacious with lots of storage. And there were 2 portholes - one over the bed and the other to the side but it was a bit high so we couldn't sit and watch the waves.
