Disney Treasure Stateroom Tour1/14/2025 0 Comments Simply Perfect Vacations was invited to sail on the brand new Disney Treasure cruise ship in December 2024 - before it opened officially to guests! We embarked on a three night sailing out of Port Canaveral, the Disney Treasure’s homeport, and really got to experience the ship and what it offers to guests. First up the stateroom! We stayed in stateroom 9146, a Deluxe Family Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah. This Pixar movie “Up” themed stateroom sleeps 5 guests in 284 square feet with one queen bed; a couch that flips into a twin bed; an upper pull down twin bed; and a wall twin bed that pulls down (all by your stateroom attendant while you’re at dinner so you don’t have to worry about it!). It also had the split bathroom that is very convenient for getting ready with a family or even a group of friends! Check out the video below for a tour of this stateroom. We had 4 adults staying in this stateroom and we were very pleased with the space and didn’t feel cramped as we each had our own bed and the split bathroom allowed 2 of us to get ready at once and one at the vanity. There was also plenty of storage from two full length closets with shelving inside one of them with a safe; more shelving just outside of the closet and a spacious vanity/desk/entertainment area with many storage shelves and drawers for more storage. All of the storage meant we got to completely unpack and put away our suitcases under the bed so there weren’t any tripping hazards. The vanity/desk area also had a mini-drawer refrigerator where we were able to store the wine and drinks we brought onboard with us. A curtain that separates the queen bed from the other 3 beds for if you want some privacy or to keep the kid’s sleeping area darker while the parents stay up after the younger ones have gone to bed. The bedding was all very comfortable and we slept well on premium plush Euro-top mattress with a soft duvet (you can ask for extras if you like a lot of blankets) and Frette 300-thread-count, 100 percent cotton sheets. The staterooms bathrooms on the Treasure are gorgeous and I love that there is a glass door instead of a shower curtain to a rectangle tub. The bathroom with the sink and toilet also has a nightlight so you don’t have to worry about keeping a “too bright” light on in the middle of the night. My favorite part of the room is the verandah. I love having a private outdoor space where I can enjoy breakfast on the patio while watching the ports we are docked in come alive with the hustle and bustle of visitors. At the end of the port day, I enjoy having a drink on the verandah while reading a book or having a quiet moment while watching the port as the ship sails away. Overall, I was very pleased with this stateroom location, it is conveniently located to the stairs and elevator - down the hall a bit so you don’t get a lot of noise from the stairwells and elevator vestibule. As for the Disney Treasure, I was simply blown away by this new ship! From the amazing main dining restaurants; to the pools and new AquaCoster; to the fun themed lounges; to the incredibly well-done Kids Clubs; and the adults only spaces - I cannot wait to get back onboard for a 7-night cruise out of Port Canaveral. You too are going to want to get on this ship and have dinner int he Coco themed restaurant with Miguel in his family; grab a cocktail at the Haunted Mansion Parlor; and enjoy the new Moana stage show.
