The Best Staterooms on the Disney Adventure

At the time of writing, we’ve finally gotten some glimpses of the Disney Adventure when she sailed into Port Canaveral on her journey to Singapore. No guests have been on the Adventure yet, and the staterooms are different enough from the previous Disney ships that they’re a bit of a mystery. Tubs aren’t the norm; there are concierge staterooms that are inside staterooms, and there are staterooms with beds that turn into benches during the day; they’re not what long-time Disney cruisers are used to! After a few hours studying the deck plans, stateroom layouts, and stateroom descriptions, I’ve got a few ideas on which ones to choose. Here’s my choice for each category, and I’ll update this list after I sail in April!

1.Category 1 (1A Concierge Royal Suite with Oceanview Verandah, 1B Concierge 1-Bedroom Oceanview Stateroom, 1C Concierge 1-Bedroom Oceanview Suite) – I fully expect the 1A Royal Suites to blow me away, just like they do on every other ship. At 2,461 square feet, they are 25% bigger than even the biggest staterooms on other ships. There are two category 1A staterooms, 18106 (Elsa themed) and 18206 (Anna themed). The rooms are identical; pick your favorite princess. Categories 1B and 1C are a little smaller and don’t have verandahs, but they’re still impressive. Between categories 1B and 1C, 1B is bigger but only has one bathroom, and 1C has two bathrooms and a tub. Choose whichever fits your needs better.

2. Category 2 (2A Concierge Suite with Oceanview Verandah, 2B and 2C Concierge Oceanview Suite) – The 2A staterooms are long and skinny with a large verandah and sleep 6. 18100 is Elsa-themed, and 18200 is Anna-themed. Pick your favorite. 2Bs and 2Cs are back to having no verandahs. 2Bs are larger and Marvel-themed, 2Cs are smaller and Little Mermaid-themed. Choose whichever works for you.

3. Category 3 (3A and 3B Concierge Family Stateroom with Oceanview Verandah, 3C – Concierge Family Oceanview Suite) – There is only one 3A, but it’s a great one. It’s enormous, with a giant verandah and the only private hot tub outside of the Royal Suites. 3Bs are much bigger than the 3C, and the verandah is oversized. It’s probably worth the cost to upgrade. For a 3B, I’d avoid Deck 16 due to possible noise overhead. The 3Cs are all pretty equal to each other and do not have verandahs.

4. Category 4 (4A,4B, and 4C Concierge Family Stateroom with Oceanview Verandah, 4D Concierge Inside Family Stateroom) – 4A and 4Bs are all on Deck 16 overlooking Imagination Garden, which is unique to the Adventure. I would probably avoid 16619, which is immediately next to the laundry room. 4A-4Cs have verandahs and 4Ds do not. 16707 and 16708 are on the front of the ship with bigger verandahs. I would choose those. 4Ds are inside staterooms, which is a first for Concierge Staterooms across the fleet, and they are the least expensive concierge staterooms. 16750 and 16751 are super convenient to the elevator without being right next to it.

5. Category 5 (5A and 5B Deluxe Garden View Stateroom with Verandah, 5C Deluxe Reef View Stateroom with Verandah) – Category 5 staterooms are all identical setups. Choose whether you would rather overlook the Imagination Garden or Discovery Reef. I feel like either may be a great option. I would recommend Deck 15 to be higher, away from the noise.

6. Category 6 (Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah) – Category 6A staterooms have great ocean views. I am partial to 16875 and 16573 for their size, or 11879 for the oversized verandah.

7. Category 7 ( Stateroom with Verandah) – Unlike any other Disney ship, these staterooms are made up of benches that turn into beds at night. Category 7 staterooms have views of the ocean, Imagination Garden, or Discovery Reef. Choose which one you think you would rather see.

8. Category 8 (Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom) – I prefer the category 8 staterooms on the front of the ship for the views, but four of the category 8s are on the side if you would prefer that. No bad choices there!

9. Category 9 (Oceanview Stateroom) – These oceanview staterooms are also made up of benches that can be converted to beds at night. The category 9 staterooms all the way forward are slightly larger; I would pick one of those. In addition, they get larger the closer you get to the center of the ship.

10 – Category 10 (Deluxe Inside Stateroom) – These staterooms are all relatively equal. Choose a higher deck, not too far away from the elevators, and don’t choose connecting if you don’t need it. Sometimes connecting means noise from your neighbors.

11. Category 11 (Inside Stateroom) – These inside staterooms have benches that turn into beds at night, with one or two that pull down from the ceiling as well. These staterooms are tiny, starting at 145 square feet. Staterooms 15710, 15712, 15711, and 15713 are slightly larger. Choose one of those.
