2 Q: Disney Wish, Deck 8, Do Verandah open/connect, Laundry Room

[angelndscz]

Disney Wish,

 

I am looking at Deck 8, booking 2 rooms. The rooms themselves do not need to connect (no kids on trip), but I would like to open the balcony wall. Do all of them open?  Specifically, it is at the edge of a bump out and one balcony seems to be a good size, but the "room" doesn't connect, but if the balcony does, that would be fine.

 

Also, I have the option of this set-up by the laundry room (port side) or by a big white space (port side).  Which would you choose?  Everyone in the group are 20-63 years old. The laundry room probably isn't loud, but more guests with small kids are likely.  Which noise doesn't bother us too much.

 

There is also rooms on Deck 10 I like but is under the stage, so I think I will skip that even if noise doesn't bother us.

 

I keep changing the rooms over and over and need to make a firm decision before these are booked. 

 

Thanks!

Not all the balcony dividers on the Wish open to adjacent rooms.  We've sailed on her twice and neither cabin had both dividers that could open.  They only had the divider on one side what was openable.

After speaking to two agents on the phone, we went ahead adn booked the non-connecting room.  Neither saw an issue with the verandah opening between the two and one asked her supervisor.  I had to call twice for some other questions, I didn't call just for that...  

 

One agent was great and suggested changing to the other side of the ship as the ship backs in to Castaway Cay and we would see the island from the starboard side vs. port side!  Those are the tips I love!

 

So, we put our deposit down.  If the verandah won't open, then we will just deal... it's my adult daughter and her boyfriend in the next room over, so the connect rooms wasn't a necessity, but would be awesome to gather on the verandah.  If for some reason they can't open it, we will just have to deal with that too. I choose the rooms being at the bump out because I heard those were slightly larger. 

 

For the AFT rooms marked for disabled... I really am curious about those. I am 100% disabled Veteran but I do not use a wheelchair nor do I need special bathroom... but maybe I can learn more about that in the future.  My hubby uses a walking boot frequently, knee scooter occasionally, and once had to rent a mobility scooter for him when we had a planned trip to Disney with out-of-state relatives, but he should be fine unless he has some unexpected flare up.   We learned the hard way not to have medical procedures before a planned vacation as he had a medical procedure before our family came for the Disney trip that required him to go off most of his meds, and then one of his issues flared up where he couldn't put weight on one leg to walk, thus needing a wheelchair.

@Jalves, do you recall the room type.  I am concerned about this... but the cast member on the call center checked and said there was no reason they could see that it wouldn't open.

It's not about the room type.  It's about where the cabins are located as relates to ship structural considerations.  FWIW both were family veranda cabins.  One on deck 12 (concierge) and one on deck 10.  

 

This is 12502, left side of veranda:
