Category 9A – on decks 5, 6, 7 and 8; 1 or 2 porthole windows. Category 9B – deck 2; 1 porthole window. Category 9C – on decks 7 and 8; 1 porthole window with obstructed view. Category 9D – on decks 6, 7 and 8; 1 SLANTED porthole with limited ocean views.

Category 9B on a Disney Cruise Line ship (such as the Dream, Fantasy, or the newer Destiny) is a Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom, specifically located on Deck 2. These rooms are approximately 204 square feet and are distinguished by a large, single porthole window that provides natural light and views of the sea, though you cannot open it. In 2026, the 9B classification is highly valued by families because it features the iconic Disney "split-bath" design—one room with a vanity and sink plus a shower/tub combo, and a separate room with a vanity and toilet. This allows two people to get ready at once. The room sleeps three to four guests, utilizing a queen bed, a single convertible sofa, and, in some cases, a pull-down upper berth. In 2026, Category 9B is often considered the "sweet spot" for value; it is cheaper than a balcony (verandah) room but offers significantly more space and light than an inside cabin, making it perfect for those who want a view without the higher price tag of the upper decks.
