A few years ago, my family started thinking about going on a Disney cruise. None of us had been on a cruise before, so before dropping the chunk of change required for a Disney cruise, we decided to go on a cheaper 3 day cruise to test it out. The cruise was okay, but the main thing I realized on our ‘test cruise’ is that I am not a fan of the interior rooms. As someone who is a bit claustrophobic, I wasn’t sure how I’d get through the vacation when I dreaded going back to the room every night. I got used to it as much as I could, but I vowed that I would never stay in a room like that again!
When our Disney annual passes expired at the end of 2013, we thought it would be the perfect time to book a Disney cruise instead of going to the parks. Even though we had booked the Oceanview Navigator’s Verandah, I still had some anxiety remembering the tight living space on the last cruise as I walked down the long corridor to our room.
I felt a huge relief when we opened the door to our stateroom – it was amazing! The first thing I noticed was that there were separate bathrooms – toilet and shower – which is roomy by cruise standards. Next was a queen sized bed followed by a couch (which would flip over into a bed) and then the best part – the verandah with porthole!
