What Deck Is Best On A Disney Cruise Ship

A view of castaway cay.

What deck is best on a disney cruise ship. Eating is a prime activity on a cruise ship but you can offset some of the effects if you avoid the elevator and use the stairs. For the absolute best view of castaway cay book 12512. The disney dream is stationed in port canaveral about an hour s drive from disney world resort in central florida ideal for families who want to visit the parks before their cruise. I also slightly prefer the concierge staterooms on deck 12 over deck 11 because they have easier access to the concierge lounge and sundeck.

Choose a deck that is several decks away from the restaurants theaters and other popular areas. Port side left staterooms face the post office and tram station and the starboard right side of the ships face the beach. If you are on a cruise that stops at castaway cay disney s private island in the bahamas and care about the view from your room it may be useful to know that the ship docks facing the ocean. We don t spend a lot of time at the pools so that didn t matter to us as much.

Notice most of the suites on all ships are on the higher floors. It boils down to personal preference though. Having said that the disney magic was designed for warm weather cruising and our northern european cruise wasn t great it was too cold for people to be outside or use the pool deck so the ship felt crowded and chaotic especially at breakfast and when trying to see movies shows. The main difference between the disney dream and the other ships in the fleet is that it only sails to the bahamas on short 3 to 5 night voyages that include disney s privately.

They are staterooms 12006 12012 12506 12512 11006 and 11002. We booked on deck 5 because the kids clubs are our most frequent stop on a disney cruise.
