Disney

Disney Treasure has 1,254 staterooms, offering a range of accommodations to suit different tastes and budgets.

To help you choose the best stateroom for your cruise on the Disney Treasure, I’ve put together this detailed guide with information about each of the different stateroom categories.

When I cruised on the Disney Treasure, I was lucky enough to be able to visit lots of different staterooms and suites. I really got a feel for which were the best, and I’ll share that info with you now.

Disney Treasure Stateroom Categories

Each stateroom or suite on the Disney Treasure is assigned a category number. These start at 1A for the exclusive Tower Suite, all the way down to 11C for the cheapest inside cabins.

The table below shows all of the different room categories on the Disney Treasure, along with how many people can sleep in each room and the size, including the balcony.

On any cruise ship, some rooms are less desirable than others. If you’re choosing a stateroom on the Disney Treasure, I recommend you grab a copy of my free checklist that will help you avoid any rooms in bad locations:

If you’re specifically booking for a larger group, check out my guide to the Disney Staterooms and Suites for Big Families.

Now, let’s take a closer look at each of the different rooms on Disney Wish that you have to choose from.

Tomorrow Tower Suite

Category 1A

The top suite on the ship is the Tomorrow Tower Suite, which is themed around EPCOT. This gorgeous suite is located inside the funnel, which gives it the nickname of Disney Treasure Funnel Suite.

There’s only one Tower Suite on the Disney Treasure, and it’s in high demand. The price of a cruise in this suite varies depending on the sailing and how many people are staying in it. But you can expect to pay somewhere between $30,000 and $100,000 for a three- or four-night cruise.

Due to its unusual location inside the ship’s funnel, the Tower Suite doesn’t have a balcony. However, it does have two main bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a large two-storey living area, a dining room, a library, a pantry, a bar and a grand spiral staircase.

On the other side of the funnel is a large TV screen. The Slide-a-saurus Rex slide begins from within the funnel, and the AquaMouse slide passes right through.

The Funnel Suite sleeps eight people comfortably. The two main bedrooms each have king-size beds, there’s a children’s bedroom with bunk beds, and another queen-size bed comes down from a wall in the library.

The Tower Suite has five televisions, motorised blackout blinds, and real feather duvets with a choice of pillow options. Guests will enjoy the use of robes and slippers as well as free Wi-Fi for the whole cruise. The decor is inspired by the movie Moana.

Disney Treasure Royal Suites

Category 1B (2-Story Royal Suite) and Category 1C (1-Story Royal Suite)

Disney Treasure has two types of Royal Suite: a two-storey option and a single-storey option. There are two of each category on the ship, each with decor inspired by beloved Disney characters and stories.

The two-storey Royal Suites draw inspiration from The Jungle Book and Aladdin, while the single-storey Royal Suites feature themes inspired by Princess Jasmine’s Rajah and Bagheera the Panther.

The 2-Story Royal Suites are arguably the best suites on the ship, and they’re my favourites. Each has two main bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a large living area, an open dining room, pantry, wet bar and a large verandah with a whirlpool tub.

The single-storey Royal Suites are around 14% smaller than the 2-Story Royal Suites. However, some would say that the location at the aft corners of Deck 10 is better, with less wind and swaying to contend with.

The 1-Story Royal Suites have all of the same amenities as the double-storey Suites, including that all-important hot tub on the balcony!

Disney Treasure 1-Bedroom Suites

Category 2A (1-Bedroom Suite with Extended Verandah) and Category 2B (1-Bedroom Suite with Verandah)

There are 18 1-Bedroom Suites on the Disney Treasure, of which two have the extended verandah. While the regular 1-Bedroom Suites are rectangular, the Extended Verandah 1-Bedroom Suites are oddly shaped with a huge verandah at the front of Deck 12.

Each 1-Bedroom Suite sleeps five guests. They have a separate bedroom with king-size bed, a living area with a double convertible sofa bed, and a single bed that pulls down from the wall.

Each Suite has two full bathrooms, a living room, a wet bar, luxurious decor inspired by The Lion King, two TVs, robes, slippers and 100MB of free Wi-Fi.

For guests needing accessible accommodation, Suite 13510 is the one to go for, while 12026 is suited for guests with hearing impairments.

Disney Treasure Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom

Category 3A (Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom With Verandah) and Category 3B (Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom)

For families who want the Disney Concierge benefits (more on those below) without the expense of a full Suite, the Concierge Family Oceanview Staterooms are ideal.

Those on Decks 12 and 13 feature a verandah, while those on Deck 11 instead have floor-to-ceiling windows looking forwards just above the bridge. The rooms without a balcony are a little larger, particularly if you go for one of the corner rooms.

11504 is reserved for guests with mobility needs, but 11006 is a large room that can be booked by anyone.

Each stateroom sleeps four or five guests with a king-size bed, single sofa bed, single Pullman bed, and an extra bed that pulls down from the wall in some rooms. The decor is inspired by The Lion King.

Disney Treasure Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah

Category 4A, 4B, 4C, 4E

For families of five, or those wanting a little more space but without the Disney Concierge-level benefits, the best staterooms on Disney Wish are the Deluxe Family Oceanview with Verandah rooms.

This is the room I stayed in when I cruised on the Disney Treasure and I loved it.

The different letters in category 4 – A, B, C and E (I’m not sure what happened to D) – relate to the location on the ship. 4A are in the best spot on Decks 10 and 11, while the others are a little further away from the open decks.

The 4E staterooms on Disney Treasure are located at the aft of the ship on Decks 6, 9 and 10. These have huge balconies and views over the aft. I would say that these could be the best rooms on Disney Treasure, for the money.

When you look at the Disney Treasure deck plan, you’ll see that there are ‘bump-outs’ on Decks 6 to 10. These are areas where the ship extends outwards. If you choose a category 4 stateroom on a bump-out, you’ll benefit from a larger balcony. So these are worth looking out for.

Each Deluxe Family Oceanview room has a queen bed, a single sofa bed and a pull-down bed. Those rooms that sleep five have an additional pull-down bed from the wall.

Here’s where you’ll find the Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandahs:

• Category 4A: Decks 10 and 11
• Category 4B: Decks 8 and 9
• Category 4C: Decks 6 and 7
• Category 4E: Decks 6, 9 and 10

Disney Treasure Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah

Category 5A, 5B, 5C, 6A, 6B, 7A

The most popular stateroom type on the Disney Treasure is the Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah. This is akin to what would be called a standard balcony stateroom on most other cruise ships.

Sleeping three or four people, each room has a queen bed and a single sofa bed. Those rooms that sleep four also have a single pull-down bed.

Again, you’ll want to study the deck plan carefully, as those that are located on the bump-outs have bigger balconies for the same money.

Category 6 staterooms on the Disney Treasure all have a slight obstruction to the view, although I expect that this will be minimal, such as a solid wall at the bottom. If this worries you, go for category 5.

Category 7 staterooms on the Disney Treasure have a ‘Navigator’s Verandah’. These balconies are a little more enclosed than a standard verandah, with a large open-air porthole. On Carnival ships, they’re known as Cove Balconies.

In this video, you can see what a Navigator’s Verandah looks like on the Disney Wish, which is identical…

Here’s where you’ll find the Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandahs:

• Category 5A: Deck 10
• Category 5B: Decks 8 and 9
• Category 5C: Decks 6 and 7
• Category 6A: Decks 8 and 9
• Category 6B: Decks 6 and 7
• Category 7A: Decks 6, 7, 8 and 9

Disney Treasure Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom

Categories 8B & 8C

Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms have a large round window instead of a balcony. They each sleep either four or five guests and are a little larger than the Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms, with an extra 21 square feet of floor space (around 8% more).

Each room has a queen bed, a single sofa bed and a pull-down bed. Those rooms that sleep five have an additional pull-down bed from the wall.

Here’s where you’ll find the Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms:

• Category 8B: Decks 8 and 9
• Category 8C: Decks 6 and 7

Disney Treasure Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom

Categories 9A, 9B, 9C & 9D

Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms each sleep three or four guests, and have a large porthole window. If you choose category 9D, the window is slanted.

Each room has a queen bed and a single sofa bed, with some also having a single bed that pulls down from the wall or ceiling.

Category 9B staterooms are all on Deck 2. This is a handy location for the Oceaneer Club, but it’s a long way up to the open decks. If you don’t like to use elevators and prefer to take the stairs, this might be a category to avoid.

Here’s where you’ll find the Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms:

• Category 9A: Decks 7 and 8
• Category 9B: Deck 2
• Category 9C: Decks 7 and 8
• Category 9D: Decks 6 and 7

Disney Treasure Inside Staterooms

Categories 11A, 11B and 11C

The cheapest staterooms on the Disney Treasure are Guaranteed Inside Staterooms. With this option, you don’t get to choose your stateroom number. It will be assigned to you based on what’s available closer to the sailing date.

Guaranteed Inside Staterooms are likely to be the worst rooms on the Disney Treasure, although arguably there are no bad rooms on this ship. Plus you have the chance of getting a great one, and may even be upgraded to Ocean View if all of the inside rooms sell out.

The worst staterooms on Disney Treasure are category 11C. As well as having no window or natural light, these are located right down on Deck 2, far away from all of the action. For a better location, choose an 11A or 11B stateroom and try to get one that’s not too far from the elevators.

Inside Staterooms on Disney Treasure are the only ones that don’t feature Disney Cruise Line’s signature split bathrooms. Your toilet will be in the same room as your bath, rather than in a separate room. But you do at least get a bathtub, even in the cheapest inside room. And that’s something reserved for Suite guests on most other cruise lines.

Here’s where you’ll find the Standard Inside Staterooms:

• Category 11A: Decks 9, 10 and 11
• Category 11B: Decks 6, 7 and 8
• Category 11C: Deck 2

The Extras You Get With Disney Wish Concierge Rooms

Disney Cruise Line Suites and selected Staterooms are classed as Concierge Level. These come with some extra in-room amenities and some extra perks.

Here’s what you get:

• Access to VIP areas of the ship, like the Concierge Lounge
• Down Duvets and Pillow Menu
• Robe and Slippers
• Free Wi-Fi (not unlimited)
• Chance to pre-reserve activities
• Services of a Concierge Host
• Surprise gifts

For more details about exactly what you get with Disney’s Concierge level (and whether Concierge is worth it on the Disney Treasure), take a look at my full guide to Disney Cruise Concierge Perks.

Choosing The Best Deck on Disney Treasure

The best deck to stay on Disney Treasure depends on your own personal preferences. Deck 7 is popular because you’re surrounded by staterooms above and below, so noise is limited. But if you want to be near the pool, choose a higher deck.

Choosing a room on Disney Treasure

Whichever room you choose on the Disney Treasure for your cruise, you’ll enjoy a range of amenities, including:

• 43-inch TV
• USB and USB-C ports
• Large vanity
• Refrigerator
• Full-length mirror
• Safe
• Hair dryer
• Phone
• Climate control
• Privacy curtain
• Queen bed and pull-out sofa beds
• Deluxe toiletries

If you’re on a tight budget, the Inside Staterooms will be more than adequate. I stayed in an Inside Stateroom on the Disney Magic with my family of four, and it was lovely.

You can read what I thought of it here: Disney Magic Cruise Review.

If you prefer a balcony, then my preference would be to go for a category 4E stateroom. These are very spacious, with large balconies and the best views over the wake.

If money is no object and you want something truly magical, then the Tomorrow Suite inside the funnel is the one to go for. Assuming it’s still available for your dates, that is!

Disney Cruise Line’s newest ships, Disney Treasure and Disney Wish, are two of the most magical ships on the seas.

But what sets them apart? From themes to dining experiences, these sister ships each have their own unique charm.

I’ve been lucky enough to sail on both ships. Here’s a list of the top differences I noticed between the two…

1. Grand Halls: Aladdin vs. Cinderella

The atrium is the heart of any Disney ship and as you step on board the first thing you’ll notice is how different these Grand Halls are.

Disney Treasure: Aladdin-themed

Inspired by the movie Aladdin, the Grand Hall of the Disney Treasure features rich gold tones and adventurous Middle Eastern vibes.

A statue of Aladdin, Jasmine, and the Magic Carpet is the centrepiece.

Disney Wish: Cinderalla-themed

Disney Wish’s Grand Hall is straight out of a fairytale, themed around Cinderella. It shimmers with soft blues and golds, and a bronze statue of Cinderella adds an elegant touch.

Which is better?

Both Grand Halls are truly breathtaking. But for me, the Cinderalla-themed atrium on the Wish has the edge. Just because you can pose with the statue. As the statue on the Treasure is a flying carpet, it’s a bit high up, espeically for kids.

2. Dining Experiences: Coco vs. Frozen

Both the Disney Wish and Disney Treasure cruise ships feature three main dining rooms as part of Disney Cruise Line’s rotational dining experience, allowing guests to enjoy a different themed restaurant each night.

Both ships have the high-tech ‘Worlds of Marvel’ restaurant and the sophisticated 1920s-themed ‘1923’ restauarnt.

The third restuarnant, however is different. Although both provide immersive dining experiences.

Disney Treasure: Plaza de Coco

A unique addition to the Disney Treasure, this restaurant offers an immersive dining experience inspired by Disney-Pixar’s Coco.

It featuries live entertainment and Mexican cuisine that will transport you straight to the Land of the Dead.

Disney Wish: Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure

This immersive dining experience brings the kingdom of Arendelle to life. Here, you can enjoy live entertainment with characters from Disney’s Frozen and a menu inspired by Nordic cuisine.

Which is better?

Again, this is just down to personal preference, but I loved the Mexican cuisine and would always choose that over Nordic food. I loved the shows at both restaurants though.

3. Themed Lounges: Haunted Mansion & Jungle Cruise Vs Star Wars & The Princess and The Frog

When it’s time to unwind, the lounges take you into the world of Disney classics.

Disney Treasure: Haunted Mansion Parlor

The Haunted Mansion Parlor aboard Disney Treasure offers a delightfully spooky and immersive experience, bringing the beloved Haunted Mansion attraction to life.

The decor is richly detailed, featuring gothic furnishings, flickering candelabras and portraits that may seem to watch your every move. Special effects create a sense of the supernatural, with mirrors that reveal ghostly apparitions and objects that appear to move on their own.

The menu at the Haunted Mansion Parlor continues the theme, offering a range of drinks with spooky names and dramatic presentations.

Disney Treasure: Skipper Society

The Skipper Society is a jungle-themed bar inspired by the Jungle Cruise ride, complete with quirky decor and adventurous cocktails. There is one particular cocktail that comes in a box filled with smoke. I can’t remember the name of it, but it’s worth asking for.

Disney Wish: Star Wars Hyperspace Lounge

The Star Wars bar on Disney Wish offers a galactic getaway with space-themed drinks and views of passing planets.

With a sleek, futuristic design and stunning special effects, the lounge features large “windows” that transport you to various iconic Star Wars locations, such as Tatooine, Batuu, and Endor, with planets, starships, and cosmic phenomena passing by in real-time.

Disney Wish: The Bayou

The Bayou on Disney Wish is a stunning lounge that brings the charm of New Orleans to the high seas. Inspired by The Princess and the Frog, this enchanting venue captures the essence of the Louisiana bayou with its lush greenery, twinkling lights, and elegant touches of Southern hospitality.

Which is better?

The Haunted Mansion Parlor on the Disney Treasure feels just like the ride. It’s so popular that Disney Cruise Line has had to implement at 45-minute time limit on visits to ensure that everyone gets a turn.

I also love the theming of the Skipper Society which strikes the perfect balance between the feeling of being on the ride and not being too overdone.

4. Stage Shows: Moana Vs The Little Mermaid

Broadway-style shows are a Disney Cruise Line specialty, and each ship has unique productions:

Disney Treasure: The Tale of Moana

Disney Treasure debuts an all-new show based on Moana. This original production brings the epic life story of Moana to life with stunning visuals, dazzling costumes,and a heartfelt narrative that celebrates her journey of self-discovery and bravery.

With iconic songs like How Far I’ll Go and We Know the Way, performed with breathtaking vocal talent and accompanied by dynamic choreography, this is an emotional show. When I watched it there were so many people wiping tears from their eyes, and of course, a roaring standing ovation at the end.

Disney Wish: The Little Mermaid

On board Disney Wish you can see The Little Mermaid, an original adaptation of the classic tale. This stage production reimagines the beloved story, combining the magic of the undersea world with fresh takes on iconic characters like Ariel, Sebastian, and Ursula.

Stunning visuals transport audiences beneath the waves, while unforgettable songs such as Part of Your World and Under the Sea captivate and delight.

Which is better?

Both shows are performed to the highest standards and are thoroughly enjoyable for audiences of all ages. But for me, the Tale of Moana is the winner given the emotional story and incredible special effects.

5. AquaMouse Adventures

Both ships feature the AquaMouse water coaster, but the storytelling differs. As your raft ascends to the highest point, you’ll see short movies on the screens featuring Mickey Mouse and some of your favourite original Disney Characters. Each ship has different movies.

Which is better?

Honestly, I was too busy concentrating on avoiding the sprays of water and getting excited about the view over the side of the ship from the transparent tube that I didn’t pay too much attention to the story on either ship.

6. Itineraries: Shorter Vs Longer

The Disney Wish and Disney Treasure cater to different travel preferences with distinct itineraries, making them ideal for various types of cruisers.

Disney Treasure: 7-Night Sailings

The Disney Treasure offers 7-night itineraries to either Eastern Caribbean destinations like St. Thomas, Tortola, and San Juan, or Western Cari.bean ports such as Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Falmouth, Jamaica.

Departing from Port Canaveral, most itineraries also include a visit to Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay.

Disney Wish: 3- & 4-Night Sailings

Also departing from Port Canaveral, Disney Wish focuses on shorter sailings, perfect for first-time cruisers or those seeking a quick getaway. Most itineraries are 3- to 4-night cruises with stops in Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay.

Which Ship Will You Choose?

Whether you’re drawn to the adventurous allure of the Disney Treasure or the enchanting fairy-tale charm of the Disney Wish, both ships promise unforgettable magic.

Really, your decision will come down to the itinerary. If you can make time for a 7-night cruise, the Disney Treasure is sure to make all of your dreams come true. But, if you also plant to visit the Walt Disney World theme parks while you’re in Florida, then a cruise on the Disney Wish could be perfect for you.

To help you choose the best stateroom for your cruise on the Disney Wish, I’ve put together this detailed guide with information about each of the different stateroom categories.

When I cruised on the Disney Wish inaugural sailing, I was lucky enough to be able to visit lots of different staterooms and suites. I really got a feel for which were the best, and I’ll share that info with you now.

Each stateroom or suite on the Disney wish is assigned a category number. These start at 1A for the exclusive Tower Suite, all the way down to 11C for the cheapest inside cabins.

If you’re specifically booking for a larger group, check out my guide to the Disney Staterooms and Suites for Big Families.

Now, let’s take a closer look at each of the different rooms on Disney Wish that you have to choose from.

Disney Wish Tower Suite

Category 1A

The top suite on the ship is the Disney Wish Tower Suite. Unlike anything that’s gone before, this gorgeous suite is located inside the funnel, which gives it the nickname of Disney Wish Funnel Suite.

There’s only one Tower Suite on the Disney Wish, and it’s in high demand. The price of a cruise in this suite varies depending on the sailing and how many people are staying in it. But you can expect to pay somewhere between $30,000 and $100,000 for a three- or four-night cruise.

Due to its unusual location inside the ship’s funnel, the Tower Suite doesn’t have a balcony. However, it does have two main bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, a large two-storey living area, a dining room, a library, a pantry, a bar and a grand spiral staircase.

On the other side of the funnel is a large TV screen. The Slide-a-saurus Rex slide begins from within the funnel, and the AquaMouse slide passes right through. These are demonstrated below by myself and Donald Duck…

The Funnel Suite sleeps eight people comfortably. The two main bedrooms each have king-size beds, there’s a children’s bedroom with bunk beds, and another queen-size bed comes down from a wall in the library.

The Tower Suite has five televisions, motorised blackout blinds, and real feather duvets with a choice of pillow options. Guests will enjoy the use of robes and slippers as well as free Wi-Fi for the whole cruise. The decor is inspired by the movie Moana.

Disney Wish Royal Suite

Category 1B (2-Story Royal Suite) and Category 1C (1-Story Royal Suite)

Disney Wish has two types of Royal Suite: a two-storey option and a single-storey option. There are two of each category on the ship, each with decor inspired by the classic elegance of Sleeping Beauty.

The 2-Story Royal Suites are located right at the front and top of the ship on Decks 13 and 15, next to the Concierge Private Sun Deck. Suite 13000 is the Princess Aurora Royal Suite, while 13500 is the Briar Rose Royal Suite.

These are arguably the best suites on the ship. Each has two main bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a large living area, an open dining room, pantry, wet bar and a large verandah with a whirlpool tub.

The single-storey Royal Suites are around 14% smaller than the 2-Story Royal Suites. However, some would say that the location at the aft corners of Deck 10 is better, with less wind and swaying to contend with.

10666 is the Briar Rose Royal Suite, and 10166 is the Princess Aurora Royal Suite. 10166 is an accessible suite so it has wide doors, a ramped threshold to the balcony, and other facilities to assist guests with limited mobility or other special needs.

The 1-Story Royal Suites have all of the same amenities as the double-storey Suites, including that all-important hot tub on the balcony!

Disney Wish 1-Bedroom Suite

Category 2A (1-Bedroom Suite with Extended Verandah) and Category 2B (1-Bedroom Suite with Verandah)

There are 18 1-Bedroom Suites on the Disney Wish, of which two have the extended verandah. While the regular 1-Bedroom Suites are rectangular, the Extended Verandah 1-Bedroom Suites are oddly shaped with a huge verandah at the front of Deck 12.

Each 1-Bedroom Suite sleeps five guests. They have a separate bedroom with king-size bed, a living area with a double convertible sofa bed, and a single bed that pulls down from the wall.

Each Suite has two full bathrooms, a living room, a wet bar, luxurious decor inspired by Tangled, two TVs, robes, slippers and 100MB of free Wi-Fi.

For guests needing accessible accommodation, Suite 13510 is the one to go for, while 12026 is suited for guests with hearing impairments.

Disney Wish Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom

Category 3A (Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom With Verandah) and Category 3B (Concierge Family Oceanview Stateroom)

For families who want the Disney Concierge benefits (more on those below) without the expense of a full Suite, the Concierge Family Oceanview Staterooms are ideal.

Those on Decks 12 and 13 feature a verandah, while those on Deck 11 instead have floor-to-ceiling windows looking forwards just above the bridge. The rooms without a balcony are a little larger, particularly if you go for one of the corner rooms. 11504 is reserved for guests with mobility needs, but 11006 is a large room that can be booked by anyone.

Each stateroom sleeps four or five guests with a king-size bed, single sofa bed, single Pullman bed, and an extra bed that pulls down from the wall in some rooms. The decor is inspired by Tangled.

Disney Wish Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah

Category 4A, 4B, 4C, 4E

For families of five, or those wanting a little more space but without the Disney Concierge-level benefits, the best staterooms on Disney Wish are the Deluxe Family Oceanview with Verandah rooms.

This is the room I stayed in when I cruised on the Disney Wish. You can read more about that in my Disney Wish review.

The different letters in category 4 – A, B, C and E (I’m not sure what happened to D) – relate to the location on the ship. 4A are in the best spot on Decks 10 and 11, while the others are a little further away from the open decks.

The 4E staterooms on Disney Wish are located at the aft of the ship on Decks 6, 9 and 10. These have huge balconies and views over the aft. I would say that these could be the best rooms on Disney Wish, for the money.

When you look at the Disney Wish deck plan, you’ll see that there are ‘bump-outs’ on Decks 6 to 10. These are areas where the ship extends outwards. If you choose a category 4 stateroom on a bump-out, you’ll benefit from a larger balcony. So these are worth looking out for.

I stayed in room 9556, which is on the bump out. The balcony is pretty big, as you can see from my video tour below:

Each Deluxe Family Oceanview room has a queen bed, a single sofa bed and a pull-down bed. Those rooms that sleep five have an additional pull-down bed from the wall.

Here’s where you’ll find the Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandahs:

• Category 4A: Decks 10 and 11
• Category 4B: Decks 8 and 9
• Category 4C: Decks 6 and 7
• Category 4E: Decks 6, 9 and 10

Disney Wish Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah

Category 5A, 5B, 5C, 6A, 6B, 7A

The most popular stateroom type on the Disney Wish is the Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah. This is akin to what would be called a standard balcony stateroom on most other cruise ships.

Sleeping three or four people, each room has a queen bed and a single sofa bed. Those rooms that sleep four also have a single pull-down bed.

Again, you’ll want to study the deck plan carefully, as those that are located on the bump-outs have bigger balconies for the same money.

Category 6 staterooms on the Disney Wish all have a slight obstruction to the view, although I expect that this will be minimal, such as a solid wall at the bottom. If this worries you, go for category 5.

Category 7 staterooms on the Disney Wish have a ‘Navigator’s Verandah’. These balconies are a little more enclosed than a standard verandah, with a large open-air porthole. On Carnival ships, they’re known as Cove Balconies.

In this video, you can see what a Navigator’s Verandah looks like on the Disney Magic:

Here’s where you’ll find the Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandahs:

• Category 5A: Deck 10
• Category 5B: Decks 8 and 9
• Category 5C: Decks 6 and 7
• Category 6A: Decks 8 and 9
• Category 6B: Decks 6 and 7
• Category 7A: Decks 6, 7, 8 and 9

Disney Wish Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom

Categories 8B & 8C

Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms have a large round window instead of a balcony. They each sleep either four or five guests and are a little larger than the Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms, with an extra 21 square feet of floor space (around 8% more).

Each room has a queen bed, a single sofa bed and a pull-down bed. Those rooms that sleep five have an additional pull-down bed from the wall.

Here’s where you’ll find the Deluxe Family Oceanview Staterooms:

• Category 8B: Decks 8 and 9
• Category 8C: Decks 6 and 7

Disney Wish Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom

Categories 9A, 9B, 9C & 9D

Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms each sleep three or four guests, and have a large porthole window. If you choose category 9D, the window is slanted.

Each room has a queen bed and a single sofa bed, with some also having a single bed that pulls down from the wall or ceiling.

Category 9B staterooms are all on Deck 2. This is a handy location for the Oceaneer Club, but it’s a long way up to the open decks. If you don’t like to use elevators and prefer to take the stairs, this might be a category to avoid.

Here’s where you’ll find the Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms:

• Category 9A: Decks 7 and 8
• Category 9B: Deck 2
• Category 9C: Decks 7 and 8
• Category 9D: Decks 6 and 7

Disney Wish Inside Staterooms

Categories 11A, 11B and 11C

The cheapest staterooms on the Disney Wish are Guaranteed Inside Staterooms. With this option, you don’t get to choose your stateroom number. It will be assigned to you based on what’s available closer to the sailing date.

Guaranteed Inside Staterooms are likely to be the worst rooms on the Disney Wish, although arguably there are no bad rooms on this ship. Plus you have the chance of getting a great one, and may even be upgraded to Ocean View if all of the inside rooms sell out.

The worst staterooms on Disney Wish are category 11C. As well as having no window or natural light, these are located right down on Deck 2, far away from all of the action. For a better location, choose an 11A or 11B stateroom and try to get one that’s not too far from the elevators.

Inside Staterooms on Disney Wish are the only ones that don’t feature Disney Cruise Line’s signature split bathrooms. Your toilet will be in the same room as your bath, rather than in a separate room. But you do at least get a bathtub, even in the cheapest inside room. And that’s something reserved for Suite guests on most other cruise lines.

Here’s where you’ll find the Standard Inside Staterooms:

• Category 11A: Decks 9, 10 and 11
• Category 11B: Decks 6, 7 and 8
• Category 11C: Deck 2

About Disney Wish Concierge Rooms

Disney Cruise Line Suites and selected Staterooms are classed as Concierge Level. These come with some extra in-room amenities and some extra perks.

Here’s what you get:

• Access to VIP areas of the ship, like the Concierge Lounge
• Down Duvets and Pillow Menu
• Robe and Slippers
• Free Wi-Fi (not unlimited)
• Chance to pre-reserve activities
• Services of a Concierge Host
• Surprise gifts

For more details about exactly what you get with Disney’s Concierge level (and whether Concierge is worth it on the Disney Wish), take a look at my full guide to Disney Cruise Concierge Perks.

Which deck to choose?

The best deck to stay on Disney Wish depends on your own personal preferences. Deck 7 is popular because you’re surrounded by staterooms above and below, so noise is limited. But if you want to be near the pool, choose a higher deck.

Choosing a room

Whichever room you choose on the Disney Wish for your cruise, you’ll enjoy a range of amenities, including:

• 43-inch TV
• USB and USB-C ports
• Large vanity
• Refrigerator
• Full-length mirror
• Safe
• Hair dryer
• Phone
• Climate control
• Privacy curtain
• Queen bed and pull-out sofa beds
• Deluxe toiletries

If you’re on a tight budget, the Inside Staterooms will be more than adequate. I stayed in an Inside Stateroom on the Disney Magic with my family of four, and it was lovely.

You can read what I thought of it here: Disney Magic Cruise Review.

If you prefer a balcony, then my preference would be to go for a category 4E stateroom. These are very spacious, with large balconies and the best views over the wake.

If money is no object and you want something truly magical, then the Tower Suite inside the funnel is the one to go for. Assuming it’s still available for your dates, that is!

Whether you’re a fan of the Disney company or not, you can’t deny that nobody does family vacations quite like the house of mouse!

DCL is pretty good at innovating – they’re known for their Imagineers, who helped to break new ground in the world of theme parks, attractions, resorts, and of course, cruise ships.

Disney Cruise Line isn’t just some basic cruise line that’s been thrown together by a company seeking to maximise profits. It brings that magical feel of a Disney resort to the sea, aboard ships that are packed with fantastic features and entertainment.

And with each new ship, there are new ideas that will inspire, excite and thrill every guest – the big kids paying for the cruise, too.

Let’s look at all of the ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, including those still being put together ready for the next big adventures of tomorrow.

Disney Ships – Newest to Oldest

Here’s a quick list of the Disney ships ranked from newest to oldest, including those that have been ordered from shipbuilders.

I know – that’s a lot of TBC but once we know more I’ll update it!

I’ve cruised on both the newest ship, Disney Wish and the oldest ship, Disney Magic and had a great time on each! That said, there’s something a little bit special about new Disney cruise ships.

The Newest Disney Cruise Ships Being Built

There are currently four Disney cruise ships being built for the cruise line, and while we don’t know a huge amount of detail, it’s certainly exciting as each ship will no doubt bring new and exciting features.

1. Disney TBC

• Class: Wish
• Size (gross tonnage): 144,000
• Passenger capacity: 4,000
• Launch: TBC 2029
• Godmother: TBC
• Character featured on the bow: TBC
• Character(s) features in the Atrium: TBC
• Character(s) featured on the aft: TBC

Don’t worry, that’s not the name – we don’t know what it is yet!

All we know about this ship is that she’ll be another Wish-class ship, but she’s being built for the Japanese market, and will be operated by the same company that manages Tokyo Disney Resort on land.

So expect a similar-sized ship to Disney Wish and her sisters, but with dining venues and facilities tailored to Asian cruisers.

2. Four more ships TBC

• Class: TBC
• Size (gross tonnage): TBC
• Passenger capacity: TBC
• Launch: TBC 2027-2031
• Godmother: TBC
• Character featured on the bow: TBC
• Character(s) features in the Atrium: TBC
• Character(s) featured on the aft: TBC

As little as we know about the Disney ship launching in 2029, we know even less about these four ships! Not the class, or where they’ll sail… or anything!

They were announced at the D23 fan event in August 2024 but with no other information for now. It’s still super-exciting to see the fleet growing so rapidly – I wonder if this will be a new class of ship?

3. Disney Destiny

• Class: Wish
• Size (gross tonnage): 144,000
• Passenger capacity: 4,000
• Launch: TBC 2025
• Godmother: TBC
• Character featured on the bow: Captain Minnie (in hero costume)
• Character(s) features in the Atrium: Black Panther
• Character(s) featured on the aft: Spider-Man

Disney is breaking tradition with its Wish Class – not that the tradition has been long-held. While prior ship classes have been limited to two ships, the Wish Class will add a third with Disney Destiny coming in 2025.

Originally there were only two ships announced, but at the D23 Expo in 2017, the third ship was revealed, while delivery dates for the ships were shifted later due to the COVID pandemic. They had been due earlier.

The ship will have a Heroes and Villains theme and will include the first Marvel Super Hero to appear on the ship’s stern. She’ll also have a Lion King-themed dining experience, a bar themed around Cruella De Vil, and lots more exciting features too.

4. Disney Adventure

• Class: Global*
• Size (gross tonnage): 208,000
• Passenger capacity: 6,000
• Launch: TBC 2025
• Godmother: TBC
• Character featured on the bow: Captain Mickey
• Character(s) features in the Atrium: TBC
• Character(s) featured on the aft: TBC

This is one of the most exciting developments in Disney’s cruise history. In late 2022, the cruise line announced that it was purchasing the unfinished ship Global Dream from Dream Cruises – a cruise line that had gone out of business.

The ship remains on course to be finished in 2025 and it will be Disney’s first ship over 200,000 gross tonnes. Only Royal Caribbean and MSC Cruises have ships of this size, with Carnival building some too, so it’ll be exciting to see how Disney approaches this mega ship.

We don’t know much about the ship yet – even the class name ‘Global’ is a placeholder.

But we do now know that she’ll sail out of Singapore, and offer cruises around Southeast Asia, bringing the magic of a Disney cruise to this exciting region.

And it’s been announced that she’ll have 7 different themed areas – the Disney Imagination Garden, Disney Discovery Reef, San Fransokyo Street, Marvel Landing, Toy Story Place, Town Square, and Wayfinder Bay.

Expect a ton of new features for guests of all ages!

5. Disney Treasure

• Class: Wish
• Size (gross tonnage): 144,000
• Passenger capacity: 4,000
• Launch: TBC 2024
• Godmother: TBC
• Character featured on the bow: Voyager Minnie
• Character(s) features in the Atrium: Aladdin, Princess Jasmine and the Magic Carpet
• Character(s) featured on the aft: Peter Pan & Hook

The next ship to launch for Disney, Disney Treasure was fully revealed in September 2023 at the D23 expo.

This ship will be themed around ‘adventure’ – look forward to some thrilling live shows and entertainment facilities, I’m sure. We also know that the atrium will be called the Grand Hall and inspired by palatial themes from across Asia, with references to Agrabah from the Aladdin movie series.

There’s exciting new dining and bar venues themed around Coco and the Jungle Cruise ride, a brand-new AquaMouse adventure and loads more.

Disney Treasure launches in 2025, the same year in which Disney opens Lighthouse Point, its second private island destination in the Bahamas. It, therefore, seems likely that Disney Treasure will call at the new port.

Disney’s Newest Ships Sailing Right Now

1. Disney Wish

• Class: Wish
• Size (gross tonnage): 144,000
• Passenger capacity: 4,000
• Launch: June 2022
• Godmother: All Make-A-Wish children
• Character featured on the bow: Captain Minnie
• Character(s) features in the Atrium: Cinderella, Lucifer, Jaq and Gus
• Character(s) featured on the aft: Rapunzel and Pascal

Disney Wish is the newest Disney ship currently sailing. The first of the Wish-class ships, she launched for the cruise line in June 2022. While accommodating the same number of guests as the Dream-class ships, she is around 10% bigger, with more space and more features.

It has a host of amazing things to see and do, including the Hyperspace Lounge themed around Star Wars, and the interactive dining experiences at Worlds of Marvel and Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure.

Don’t miss the AquaMouse too – Disney considers it to be their first true ‘attraction’ at sea, as a waterslide with its own soundtrack, video clips, water effects and more.

2. Disney Fantasy

• Class: Dream
• Size (gross tonnage): 129,960
• Passenger capacity: 4,000
• Launch: March 2012
• Godmother: Mariah Carey
• Character featured on the bow: Sorcerer Mickey
• Character(s) features in the Atrium: Mademoiselle Minnie
• Character(s) featured on the aft: Dumbo and Timothy Q. Mouse

The second Dream-class ship to launch, Disney Fantasy, is almost identical to Disney Dream. The main differences are the addition of the Aqua Lab splash zone and play area, the Muppets Mystery game, and a different experience at the Animator’s Palate restaurant, called Animation Magic – where guests can design their own characters and see them animated on the screens.

The ship did launch with a couple of other exclusive features, including the Satellite Sun Deck and the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique which offers princess transformations for younger guests, but those have since been added to the Dream.

3. Disney Dream

• Class: Dream
• Size (gross tonnage): 129,960
• Passenger capacity: 4,000
• Launch: January 2011
• Godmother: Jennifer Hudson
• Character featured on the bow: Captain Mickey
• Character(s) features in the Atrium: Admiral Donald
• Character(s) featured on the aft: Sorcerer Mickey

Disney Dream launched a new class of ship for the cruise line, and with it came a wealth of exciting features. The ship is over 50% bigger than the Disney Wonder and Disney Magic, and it shows, with the sheer variety of things to see and do on board.

Expect themed live shows at night, two theatres (one for live Disney theatre shows and the other for screening first-run and classic movies), interactive dining venues and the AquaDuck, a thrilling water slide that loops around the top deck.

4. Disney Wonder

• Class: Magic
• Size (gross tonnage): 84,130
• Passenger capacity: 2,700
• Launch: August 1999
• Godmother: Tinker Bell
• Character featured on the bow: Steamboat Willie
• Character(s) features in the Atrium: Ariel
• Character(s) featured on the aft: Donald, Huey, Dewey and Louie

Disney Wonder is the sister ship of Disney Magic, and overall she’s very similar, sharing many of the most popular features including the Marvel Super Hero Academy and the Wide World of Sports Deck.

The live show is themed around Frozen, rather than Tangled, and the Wonder is missing the AquaDunk waterslide, although it does still have the Twist ‘n’ Spout slide that also appears on Magic.

5. Disney Magic

• Class: Magic
• Size (gross tonnage): 84,130
• Passenger capacity: 2,700
• Launch: July 1998
• Godmother: Patricia Disney
• Character featured on the bow: Sorcerer Mickey
• Character(s) features in the Atrium: Helmsman Mickey
• Character(s) featured on the aft: Goofy

Disney Magic is the oldest Disney cruise ship, though she has been updated with refurbishments, the latest in 2018. So while she is a little more dated than the more recent ships, she isn’t tired and she still retains all of that magic (get it?) that made her so special when she first launched as the first Disney cruise ship.

Highlights of the ship include Tangled: The Musical in the ship’s theatre, the AquaDunk waterslide (not to be confused with the AquaDuck on later ships), the varied dining venues including Animator’s Palate, and the Frozen deck party.

To conclude

Every new ship from Disney brings a lot of exciting new features to enjoy, including amazing interactive experiences and attractions to suit all ages.
