carhopsrock Posted August 7, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Considering booking a balcony for our next cruise. Could someone please explain what a cove balcony is??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceanseagle12 Posted August 7, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2011 They are partially enclosed balconies, and on the main deck- the closet you will get a balcony to the water. I haven't been in one but will when I get the chance. Here are some great pictures: http://www.zydecocruiser.com/CarnivalDream/coveDummies.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieHoffman Posted August 7, 2011 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2011 They are amazing! Had one last month on the Dream. We loved being so close to the water. Didn't feel the breeze of the ocean either. Lots of shade, so if sun is what you are looking for these will not be for you. I feel they are more private than other balconies as you can simply peek at your neighbors either. They are also a tiny bit larger than a regular balcony. The photo like as posted above is a great way to see what they look like. They are a great value for the $ and I can't wait to sail in one again, though only the Dream and Magic currently have them on Carnival.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Kat Posted August 8, 2011 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I love being close to the water! But be aware, if the weather is very rough, they will somehow close them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWolver672 Posted August 8, 2011 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Instead of the glass railing on the bottom and open on the top like the other balconies, the openings are cut from the hull. http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2987906950030186251tqOhqh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted August 8, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I love being close to the water! But be aware, if the weather is very rough, they will somehow close them up. It must have to be VERY rough indeed! I was on the Dream in a Cove balcony cabin. We had 30 foot seas and winds that peaked a 96 knots and they never closed our weather doors... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
