Ahoy, Laurence!
Welcome aboard planDisney! You picked an incredible adventure. The Disney Magic is my favorite ship, and pairing her with an Alaskan itinerary feels like something straight out of Brother Bear, with jaw-dropping scenery around every bend and plenty of “take it all in” moments on deck.
Now for the not-so-magical part of the story. For safety and planning purposes, Disney Cruise Line does not allow a stateroom to exceed its maximum stated occupancy. Even though an infant may sleep in a pack & play and not require a bed, they still count toward the
total number of Guests assigned to that stateroom. This all comes down to emergency planning, lifeboat capacity, and assembly station assignments. It’s very much a “rules are rules” moment, even if we all wish Tinker Bell could sprinkle a little extra pixie dust here.
I know that’s probably not the answer you were hoping for, so let’s pivot and talk options. If you’re traveling as part of a larger group with multiple staterooms, it may be worth checking to see if another stateroom has not reached its capacity and could accommodate the infant instead. Depending on your sailing date, there are currently
verandah staterooms available on the Magic that can sleep up to five Guests. That extra space can be especially magical in Alaska, where having a private verandah feels like your own front-row seat to glaciers, whales, and scenery that honestly looks painted by Disney Imagineers themselves. That said, I completely understand that the added cost can be a deal-breaker.
If shifting Guests around or upgrading doesn’t work, another option to consider is booking a second
inside stateroom. While it’s not ideal, it does provide flexibility and keeps everything within the safety guidelines. Once you’ve decided which path works best for your crew, I highly recommend
giving Disney Cruise Line a call. The Cast Members can walk you through availability, pricing, and make sure everything is shipshape before embarkation day arrives.
I hope this helps as you plan your Alaskan adventure
aboard the Magic. While this may feel like a plot twist, there’s still plenty of magic ahead, from glacier views to cozy shipboard moments that feel straight out of a Disney storybook. Wishing you smooth sailing and memories that will last longer than Olaf in summer.
Sea ya real soon as the adventure continues into a bright new year,
Dustin
