Disney Magic cabins and suites

Of all Disney Magic cruise ship cabins, 71% are outside (including 22 Suites, 332 Balcony rooms, and 237 Oceanview), and 256 are Inside (of which 96 are Deluxe). The ship offers a total of 25 cabin categories, including the "Guaranteed" categories: VGT-Balcony, OGT-Oceanview, and IGT-Inside.

MS Disney Magic Cabin Tips

On Deck 5 are six staterooms (plus two on Deck 6) that are oceanview but categorized and priced as "Category 10 Inside" cabins. Their views are partially obstructed by liferaft canisters. These "Secret Porthole cabins" are near "Flounder’s Reef Nursery" and "Buena Vista Theater", offering a quieter location with less foot traffic. By comparison, most Category 10 cabins are windowless and located on lower decks (many beneath nightclubs). Of the Deck 5 "Secret Porthole cabins", two pairs are connecting rooms—ideal for families of five and a cost-effective alternative to Category 4. These cabin numbers are 6006 (less obstructed), 6506 (less obstructed), 5020, 5520, 5022, 5024 (connecting, most obstructed), 5522, and 5524 (connecting, most obstructed).

"Secret Balcony cabins" located aft on Decks 6 and 7 fall under Category 7A. Unlike the typical enclosed "Navigator’s Verandah", these cabins have regular (step-out) balconies. The view is slightly obstructed due to the location at the ship’s stern. These cabins are 6134, 6634, 7120, and 7620.

"Connecting Balcony cabins" are most adjacent balcony rooms (excluding those separated by steel dividers). Their balconies can be joined by folding back the divider panel. To connect balconies, ask your cabin steward to unlock the divider. When opened, the pair shares an extended balcony. For group bookings, multiple dividers can be unlocked to create a longer shared space.

Disney Magic’s smallest cabins accommodating families of five are Category 4 "Deluxe Family Oceanview" staterooms with a balcony. A more budget-friendly option is to book two connecting cabins in Category 9 ("Deluxe Oceanview") or Category 10 ("Deluxe Inside"). This option is about 2/3 to 3/4 the price of one Family Oceanview cabin. The combined size is ~40% larger and includes two full bathrooms (though without a balcony). If a balcony is essential, consider booking one Category 6 "Deluxe Oceanview" or one Category 7 "Navigator’s Verandah" room, paired with a Category 9, 10, or 11 stateroom. These combinations offer better value, more space, added privacy, and two bathrooms, though they are not connecting. To ensure connecting rooms, book two Category 5 staterooms.

For families of six or more, options include the "2-Bedroom Suite" or the "Royal Suite" (maximum capacity of seven guests). However, booking two standard cabins is often significantly more cost-effective than booking one suite.

"Cabin upgrade" is available when booking a lower-priced "guarantee" category, with the potential for an upgrade. With a "guarantee" booking, Disney ensures a cabin in that category or higher, without assigning a specific stateroom at the time of booking. Since lower categories often sell out quickly, Disney may offer upgrades to early-booking guests to free up space in cheaper categories for new bookings. Upgrades can also be requested at check-in at the cruise terminal. When available, these upgrades typically cost less than booking the higher category outright.
