Disney Dream Inside with Virtual porthole or Navigators Verandah?

[mrscutecuban]

Hello my fellow DCL'ers...

 

Booking a cruise for next summer on dream and I have put a deposit down on a Navigators Verandah.. I normally sail in balcony rooms on cruises but am hearing alot about the virtual portholes on the inside rooms.. Can anyone compare for me and advice which is better ? This is our 2nd cruise on dream and this time its just me and my 5yr old.. TIA ;)

We did the virtual porthole once just for the fun of it. The 5 year old will like it. Having done it once, I would prefer the balcony....but I don't regret having done it.

 

With a child...I'd do the virtual. It's cute it's fun, and there is a switch by the bed where you can turn it off.

Thanks moki'smommy that's where my thought process was going that my kid will like it, it'll be cool etc etc and with the navigators its really another balcony which we can always do another time.

 

Any advice on which cat of inside cabin is good ?

 

Thanks again :)

With only 2 of you, any inside will be fine. We liked deck 2 near Enchanted Garden, which is also near one of the kiosks for the Midship Detective game. The rooms were tucked down a hall such that the traffic for the restaurant did not walk past the rooms at all--very nice and quiet, and midship. On the other hand, 5aft is also one of our favorite locations.

 

For such a short cruise, it isn't a huge issue--you won't be in the cabin much!

 

Kid areas are midship, adult areas forward (yes, this is a generalization).

 

For more people, I'd make a big deal about the split bath, etc. but for one adult and one young child....it truly isn't a huge thing.
