Disney Cruise Line - Stateroom 8508 Report

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.
