Disney Cruise Line in a Jiffy: What is a Split Bathroom?

Disney Cruise Line staterooms are thoughtfully designed, with the vast majority of cabins configured with split bathrooms. Split bathrooms are the norm at all levels except category 11 rooms (the small inside staterooms).

With a split bathroom, you’ll find that components of the bathroom are divided into separate rooms, with separate doors. In one compartment you’ll find a sink and the toilet. In the other compartment you’ll find a sink and the shower. This set-up allows two people to get ready at the same time. For example, one person can be showering while another brushes their teeth or using the toilet in privacy.

This bathroom arrangement is uncommon on other cruise lines and is particularly rare on lines that cater to couples rather than families.
