Lido inside vs Cove balcony

[TexasCruiser52]

We are currently in a well placed Lido inside. I really would like to upgrade myself to a Cove balcony. Yeah or nay ? Did you like the Cove ? :confused:

I've never been in a balcony before, but if I could afford a balcony cabin, I would never get an inside.

Cove balconies are very popular amongst a lot of people since they are very close to the water and are just below the hanging lifeboats. They have more privacy than the other decks.

I would say, if you can afford it, go for it.

We upgraded from inside to a cove on our Breeze cruise and loved the cove!

Get the Cove--you won't regret it.

We are now in a Cove. Thanks for your input ! :D

Can you swing a Lido balcony?:o

They are the BEST!!!!!

So quiet, and so convenient to EVERYTHING.

Good luck in your decision!:D:D

This is easy. Cove balcony.

Cove balconies are far superior to any other balconies. It's like having your own ocean front room right at the water.

We are on the Dream out of New Orleans this month. I wanted to try a Cove Balcony, the wife say she is afraid of being close to the water . Now we are on the Vista Deck. I think the Cove sounds nice. Next cruise we will try the Cove Balcony.:)

Have visited friends who had a cove and would take it if possible.

Afraid? Of what?

Don't like the cove balcony at all would much rather do a lido balcony or inside over a cove.

I wondered that too. Maybe she thinks they are at sea level:confused:

 

As for another post regarding price. I'd guess balconies will become very reasonable after October 9;)

Not so sure about that as lots of people have either quit or never taken up the habit. Also not many places for smokers to cruise if they insist on smoking on their balcony.

 

Besides if Carnival sees a major decline in bookings from this they will reverse themselves.

Not many places to cruise?

 

I don't think there will be a reversal. Just less bookings for balconies after the cut off date. My friend and I also avoid ships with 2.0 after our experience on Liberty. We normally spend a great deal of time in the Lido smoking areas to socialize and be under cover.

Not many cruise lines are still allowing smoking on balconies.

Great decision!! We are in our second cove this Saturday. Can't wait!!!

We had a cove balcony on the Magic and have booked again for next summer with a cove balcony. I like how close to the water is (and my kids do too, especially when we are in ports where the water is really clear and they can look down and see fish and other marine life), and because it is personal. Because it is covered by the life boats and kind of enclosed, you really do not here anyone else. So I would definitely recommend it!
