I’m going on a Disney cruise above the Disney Wonder and I’m trying to pick my room but the wording sounds so tricky. What do the following rooms include?
Private verandah with nautical touches and a large open-air porthole in the solid white wall above the railing
and
Private verandah (Some staterooms in this category include a solid white wall verandah.)
THANKS!
A private verandah refers to a private balcony off the ocean side of your room. When speaking of the solid white walls, this is a safety feature to protect passengers from falling of their verandah and the ones with the open air porthole will include a window (porthole) that should be able to be opened to let in the fresh breeze.
Private Verandah = Private balcony, most likely open air.
Nautical touches = decorative term for nautical themed balacony.
A large open-air porthole in the solid white wall above the railing means that the balcony is closed except for a large porthole.
This is the verandah with the large porthole: https://www.smartcruiser.com/ssl/images/cruise/staterooms/119_deluxenavigatorverandah.jpg

It just seems that the first room will have a large window in it and the second one might not. I have been on a cruise myself but you really don’t spend a lot of time in the room.
The first room also seems to have a bit more detail. But like I said before on a cruise you don’t really stay in the cabin for activities. You will most likely be on the main deck and on excursions most of the time.
