Disney Cruise Line - Stateroom 8042 Report

Notes: Not quite "excellent" as it hasn't been updated in a while, but still in shipshape condition. Still has beverage cooler (heard they are all getting real fridges at some point). Blowdryer is "old hotel" variety. Docking station on alarm clock for iPod. Great views from verandah. Not too much rocking felt even when waves/wind were serious enough to cancel a port stop. Noise from above on Pirate Night was heard as was the daily disbursal of deck chairs in the early a.m. If you are a sound sleeper, you will not notice. Convenience to elevator/stairwell was great. Overall, a very good room location. Fit our family of 5 nicely (including a very tall tween). Cozy, of course, being all in one room, but we very much enjoyed being one floor down from food/pools during the a.m. Made it easy to choose the stairs over waiting in line for the elevator.

Notes: Very close to the forward elevator and can be noisy. There is also an animated picture that is part of the "Detective" game which draws a lot of excited (noisy) traffic. Bed is very comfortable. Sleeps four with a pull down bunk that we left down for the whole trip. Dual rest rooms are still genius. Altogether these are minor concerns based on location but when we reserved a cruise on the Fantasy for 2012, we avoided this room.

Notes: Great room location as it is only one deck away from the pools, food, etc. It was noisy at times with the people stomping around deck 9. Great view from the verandah.

Notes: A little bit of noise from chairs above. I thought location was very convenient. Plenty of room for 5 of us. I think I personally would prefer the other side for views of the Western ports, but it was still great.
