The Disney Treasure will be your home at sea for seven nights as you cruise the Caribbean. However, there are countless room categories to choose from like room type and location. The stateroom you choose matters on a cruise ship, so how do you make the right decision?

DISNEY TREASURE OCEANVIEW VERANDAH STATEROOMS

Oceanview Verandah

Oceanview Verandah Staterooms are the most common type of stateroom on the Disney Treasure. These staterooms typically include a queen bed accompanied by a single convertible sofa, expanding the space to accommodate up to four guests with the addition of an upper-berth sleep option.

The Oceanview Verandah Staterooms feature private balconies. Sorry, Disney. I know you use the term Verandah, but by definition, it’s a balcony. A verandah is a covered outdoor space on the ground floor of a building. Most verandah staterooms are found on Decks 6 through 10.

Category Codes for Oceanview Veranda Staterooms are 5A, B, C, 6A and B, and 7A. But we need to talk more about 7A so remember that now, I come back to it. These category codes help you figure out where the room is located. The Letter “A” usually refers to the most desirable location like mid-ship or an upper deck. And the number represents the room type. The higher the number, the less desirable the room is based on location or view.

I’ll show you a Cat 1A room the best of the best! Stay tuned.

Oceanview with Navigator Verandah

So let’s talk more about the Category 7A rooms on the Treasure. True, they are Oceanview Verandahs but using what we just learned about cruise ship codes, 7 is obviously higher than 5 and 6, meaning it is less desirable than a Cat 5 or Cat 6 room. But is it really less desirable? Not exactly this is Disney Cruise Line after all. Cat 7A rooms have a Navigator's Verandah or a verandah with a slightly obstructed view. In exchange for this, you pay less.

I like to book these rooms myself because the obstruction is usually minimal, and I save a lot of money compared to a traditional Cat 5 or 6 verandah stateroom.

Deluxe Oceanview Staterooms w/ Navigator's Verandah are located on Decks 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Oceanview Family Verandah

Now there is one more bacony…I mean verandah, room type: the Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah. These are larger than the traditional verandah staterooms. Categories are 4A, B, C, and 4E.

So these rooms are more desirable (aka more expensive) than the Cat 5 rooms. You’ll find them on Decks 6 through 10. Now, Category 4E is on Decks 6, 9, and 10 only, and these staterooms have an extra large or oversized balcony. But notice that letter E - while it’s a Cat 4 room, more desirable than a Cat 5, that Big E is signaling a less desirable location. Many rooms here are in the extreme aft section of the ship. Should you avoid these, not at all! They just don’t have the real estate that the 4A, B, and C rooms have, and you can probably snag a better fare.

OCEANVIEW STATEROOMS ON THE DISNEY TREASURE

Oceanview staterooms have views of…uh the ocean but they do not have a balcony. Of course, these rooms cost less than a balcony stateroom so they are a good value if you want to save money and still want natural light. You won’t find a lot of ocean views because the Disney Treasure is made up mostly of balconies, or I mean verandahs. Most are located on the lower decks and all the way forward or aft. They come in categories 9A, B, C and D.

On the Disney Treasure, Category 9A staterooms are typically located on a higher deck (like decks 7, or 8) and may have one or two porthole windows, while Cat 9B staterooms are located on lower decks (like deck 2) and usually only have one porthole window; essentially, the "A" signifies a better location the ship with potentially better views. And the 9Ds, well those are the least desirable because they have an awkward slanted wall and porthole. It’s definitely not for everyone.

Deluxe Family Oceanview

Just like the Family Oceanview verandahs, Family Oceanviews simply have more square footage. Family OceanViews all have one large porthole. These rooms come in Categories 8B and 8C and can be found on Decks 6, 7, 8, and 9.

INSIDE STATEROOMS ON THE DISNEY TREASURE

Disney Treasure Standard Inside Staterooms

Disney Treasure’s standard inside staterooms cozy which is my way of saying they are small. There are 3 reasons people book inside staterooms.

1. You prefer to have no natural light maybe to sleep better.

2. You want to get on the ship for the least amount of money as possible. I have been known to do this on more than one occasion.

3. You need a second stateroom, perhaps just for the kids and you want to save money - or you don’t want them to have balcony access.

Treasure’s Inside staterooms are all category 11. Category A rooms are on Decks 9, 10, 11. Category 11B’s are on Decks 6, 7, 8, and Category 11C rooms are on Deck 2. If you want to get on the Disney Treasure and pay less than everyone else - book a Cat 11C. You will be the envy of the ship because you get to all enjoy all the same amenities as everyone else, except you paid thousands less.

DISNEY TREASURE CONCIERGE STATEROOMS

Concierge on the Disney Treasure is comparable to staying Club Level at a Walt Disney World hotel. These are the most luxurious staterooms and suites onboard. They come with special services like access to a private lounge and access to a Concierge Agent who will assist with virtually anything you need, even prior to embarkation.

The most economical staterooms (if you want to think of it that way) are oceanview staterooms without verandahs (Cat 3B) and family oceanview verandah staterooms (Cat 3A). In the suite class, you’ll find 1 and 2-bedroom Royal Suites with verandas. Some suites even have 2 stories like the Cat 1B Royal Suite on Deck 13. This room can sleep up to 6 and is a whopping 1,760 square feet.

And the Cat 1A is unofficially called the Epcot Suite because the decor is inspired by Epcot at Walt Disney World, or the funnel suite because it’s located in the ship’s funnel - which is not a working funnel, it’s just for aesthetics. Officially it’s known as the Tomorrow Tower Suite. It’s nearly 2,000 square feet, has a private elevator, and offers stunning views from a 2-story glass window. A 7-night cruise in this suite starts around $100,000. If you’re an Epcot fan like me, it’s totally worth every penny!
