I know I am asking this on the CBR thread so I'm sure you all are biased, but we are booked at AKL for the first week in August. DS6 just mentioned that he really wanted to stay in a pirate room so I am comparing the two to figure out which would be best for us. DD is 2 and will most likely be sleeping on a toddler inflatable mattress. Is there room for something like that?

So we have a trip booked for November and we were originally supposed to be staying at POR with a garden view but it turns out that we can't stay there with our free dining PIN so the moved us to POFQ. I was excited to stay at POR but I can't get excited about FQ, even though I know there's access to POR as well.
We stayed at CBR in January and really, really loved it...we were in Martinique 26 and my kids loved the kiddie pool. I'm tempted to just go back to CBR instead of FQ because we really liked the resort but we still want to try something different. I'm thinking of staying in the pirate rooms...this will be a surprise trip for the kids anyway and they'll be 5 and 2 at the time so they'll love it. Just a few questions...
1. I've heard that the mattresses are shorter than the Nemo rooms to avoid the ship portion sticking out too much in the room. Can anyone confirm this? I'm 5'11 and DH is 6'3 so we can't really afford a shorter than usual mattress.
2. Does anyone know if the pirate rooms are blacked out of the free dining PIN in Nov? I think its the Disney visa card holder pin.
Thanks!!!!
Good morning everyone! Just poking my head in over here to gather some info for someone.
Morning Venomhatch. Let us know if there's something specific you need to know.
Well even as a CM I haven't had time to venture over to that resort. Some questions were where the preferred rooms are typically located at? Since you know POR's ones were right by the main building. Another question was typically what are considered the best spots to try for when trying to get the best room so to speak with views, location, etc. Sort of like going to POR and requesting to be as close to South Depot as possible so then you have Main Food Court, amenities, and all the best location rooms in my opinion. I know they wanted to try for a beach view and be close to the main building and pool. They paid for a water view but would be willing to upgrade to a preferred if it would give them a better experience.
Would building 25 be a good call?
For those of you traveling to Caribbean Beach in June, I picked up a copy of the June Recreation Activities flyer. I can't seem to get Photobucket to work for me right now. I'll try again tomorrow. If nothing else, I'll type out all of the details and post them here.

Preferred rooms are in Martinique 24, 25, 26, Trinidad North 31, 32 and 33. Just like at POR, you can book preferred and request a water view or book water view and request preferred.
My opinion is that it is a waste of $$ to pay for a water view at any of the moderate resorts. With no balcony, in order to enjoy the view you will have the blinds wide open and with the outside corridors people can see in when walking by. Again, that's just our opinion on views at a moderate. Now when staying deluxe, we definitely will pay for a good view.
Having said all that, yes, Martinique 25 is a great location. One of the things we love about CBR is that every village, and OPR, has it's own bus stop. So you are never far from one. My suggestion to people is to book preferred and request a water view. Again, just like POR there really are no bad views with the lush landscaping. There are no direct parking lot views.
