Line<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is an<a href=\"https:\/\/disneycruise.disney.go.com\/ships\/dream\/staterooms-inside\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> interior stateroom<\/a> that measures 204 square feet. \u00a0It was for a three night Disney Dream cruise, and we booked an interior room because we were on a tight budget plus with just three nights we figured we&#8217;d spend little time hanging out in our stateroom. \u00a0We were right about not spending much time in our stateroom, though the time we did spend in there was comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after booking, I worried about claustrophobia setting in because of the small size of the room and the lack of a deck or window.\u00a0 I need not have worried.\u00a0 Once we opened our stateroom room door for the first time, we saw that the room had a nice layout and it made a smart use of all space!\u00a0 The virtual porthole (more on that later) also made the room seem a little bigger and brighter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

location.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-48775\"

people.\u00a0 My daughter and I were comfortable, and one more person would have been fine but I do think that four people in this space might have felt a bit tight.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best features of the stateroom was the side-by-side split bathroom.\u00a0 One bathroom had a shower and sink.\u00a0 The other bathroom had a toilet and sink.\u00a0 Having separate areas to get ready for dinner and going out made efficient use of the bathroom space.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-48776\"

was one of the best beds I\u2019ve encountered!\u00a0 \u00a0The Disney Dream queen bed was a Sealy Posturepedic Premium Plus Euro-top mattress, and with that quality and the slight vibrations of the ship I had no problems sleeping at night.\u00a0 The queen bed was elevated and underneath it was a good place to store our largest suitcase.\u00a0 There was a heavy privacy curtain that separated the queen bed from the rest of the room, a handy feature for my when my daughter stayed out late with teen activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

with drawers, a chair, a small beverage cooler, and a 22 inch LCD flat screen TV with a swivel arm so we could watch TV from the queen bed or sofa.<\/p>\n<p>Our favorite feature of the room was the virtual porthole.\u00a0 It had a real time view of where the ship was, so at a glance we could see if we were at sea or in port.\u00a0 Every so often, the porthole would have a surprise visit with a Disney themed character floating by!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-48782\"
