Hello. First time Disney cruisers here. Travelling will be myself, my spouse, and our son who will be about one month shy of 3 when we cruise this March on the Disney Magic. So I'm trying to get an idea of what the best sleeping arrangements will be for our little guy. We are currently in an inside stateroom on Deck 7, and I do understand this may not be the best room situation for us. Our son still naps for about 3 hours every day between about 1p and 4p, and he sleeps from about 8:30p to 7:00a. He still sleeps in a crib and we have never attempted to sleep him in a bed, although he always sleeps in a standard-sized Graco pack n play when we travel. I understand that Disney will provide a pack n play, and it sounds like this is the same pack n play that we are used to. The problem I see with the set up in the inside stateroom is that, if using the pack n play (or the fold-down bed with bed rail if he will go for that) for his sleep, this essentially "traps" us in the bed area behind the curtain at the back of the room, cutting us off from accessing the bathroom and door out. This is doable, but obviously not ideal. My main question is - should we consider upgrading (for about $500) to an oceanview room, where the layout is basically switched, with his sleeping area at the back of the room, and the bed area adjacent to the bath and exit door? The available oceanview rooms are on Decks 1 and 2, and we are currently on Deck 7, in what I have been told is a quiet area. I would hate to pay to upgrade, and then come to find that our new room is noisy due to being near the tender area/machinery/etc. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
