Disney Cruise Line Stateroom Number 2598

Notes First star: Clean and attractive. Second star: Has a nice view. Can see the fireworks from this stateroom. The reasons for no more stars: Stateroom had a lot of mechanical noise and overhead noise, especially at night, but not only at night. It is directly over the engine and directly under a restaurant galley. Mattress was saggy with a noticeable dent on one side, and needs replacing. Stateroom TV malfunctioned daily and had to be rebooted every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. Stateroom had a bad odor the first day- kind of like gasoline. Required ionizer machine to remediate the first day, then it went away. Had a brief bad odor each morning that smelled like paint thinner then would go away. Maybe related to some deck painting that was going on during the cruise?

Notes Room is in a good location for getting around the ship, about halfway between mid and aft elevators. Easy access to gangways for port days. Lots of storage space, and a split bath. But no bunk so only for a family of 3 or less. The biggest issue is being under the galley. Every night was an issue. Guest services tried their best to alleviate the noise, but some of it was unavoidable. If you are a heavy sleeper, this room would probably be just fine.

Notes This room was clean and very large. The split bath was great. However, it was very noisy. You could hear carts rolling above and other loud noises most of the night. A few times, it actually woke us up once we were asleep. The room was very spacious though and clean.

Notes You could hear rolling carts from restaurant above but not too bad. We loved the convenience to the drink station, buffet and 2 out of 3 restaurants. Loved the view at Castaway Cay. We would book this room again.
