Our friend, Janelle Howell, recently went on the Disney Destiny in January 2026 for a 4-Night Bahamian Cruise from Fort Lauderdale. Part of her sailing party stayed in stateroom 10040, which is a Category 5A – Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Verandah.  The room is located on Deck 10 forward, near the forward elevators on the Port (left) side of the ship and sleeps 4. It connects with stateroom 10038 (but the verandahs won’t connect). It does have the traditional split bathroom.

About Janelle:

Janelle has been a lifelong Disney fan and loves experiencing the Disney magic whenever possible. That Disney fandom grew once her family joined the club – the Disney Vacation Club, that is! Since 2010, Janelle and her family have taken several Disney vacations a year and recently started cruising. With Disney being a passion, it only made sense for Janelle to become a travel advisor helping other families plan their trips to all Disney destinations. Janelle is a travel advisor with Dreaming About the Mouse Travels and can be contacted on facebook.

Here are the pictures of her room!
