Bummer...

We missed getting the secret veranda Cat 7 room but one room, it's the stateroom in front of ours. We're in 7122 and the secret veranda is 7120.

There are 4 secret rooms on both ships: 7120, 7620, 6134, and 6634. They use to be Cat 6 rooms with the open veranda but because of a slightly obstructed view they were moved to a Cat 7. We were oh so close!

didn't you request that room? sorry to hear about the room assignment

I just wanted a cat 7. When I booked I was in WI and the connection wasn't all that great there so I didn't get a chance to pull up the special cat 7 rooms. Oh well, can always try for the next cruise! LOL

So you pay for an outside room and you are surprised to find a verandah?? That's how it works?? That would be nice!
Did you mention when you booked that it's your honeymoon? I bet they'll have great stuff for you! More than just a pin to wear! :) But that too! On a boring ol' regular cruise you still get personalized deserts, special service. So on Disney, I bet it'll be grand!!!

No, Cat 7 rooms all have the navigator verandas, but there are 4 staterooms on each ship that use to be Cat 6's with a partially blocked veranda and I guess enough people complained about the blocked view that the moved them from a Cat 6 to a Cat 7. Let me try and explain it this way:

Cat 6 Veranda: open balcony with railing and plexiglass.
Cat 7 Veranda: "navigator veranda" more like a extra room with an open portal window.

The "secret" rooms have the open balcony but it's partially blocked similar to the navigators veranda and are listed as a Cat 7.

I am going to have to look more into a cruise...although when I priced them out they were mightly expensive compared to DW or DL.
Which ship are you going on again?

[34Angels]

The Magic. The only reason ours is so expensive is because we wanted the veranda (we figured, our honeymoon might as well go for it). We could have gone on a 7 day cruise for right around what we paid to go to Disney World in Oct. The 3 and 4 day cruises are a little cheaper and you can then go over to WDW for the rest of the week. Just a thought.

It's not too bad for 2 people I guess. But for 4 it's way out of our price range! a 5 day is almost double what a 7 day trip to the world would be! I sure wish they had Carnival prices! I'd be on it in a second! But then again....I'm sure you get your money's worth on DCL!!!! That's our...'if we win the lotter'...trip. :)
