ilovetotravel1977 Posted May 26, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2015 If I book a Cove balcony at the Spring it or Fun Select rate, does the 2 level upgrade include higher deck balconies? Or is a Cove in a category all in itself? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnival_Brides Posted May 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 27, 2015 A Cove is considered a 7C--two categories up would be an 8B which is a Standard Balcony. https://www.goccl.com/~/media/Files/Irman/bookccl/the_fleet/dream/dream.ashx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovetotravel1977 Posted May 27, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted May 27, 2015 How do you get the upgrade? Can you get it as soon as you book the Cove balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwo4life Posted May 27, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Many would consider Cove balconies superior to balconies on deck 6-8, I certainly would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted May 27, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Many would consider Cove balconies superior to balconies on deck 6-8, I certainly would. Me too. I have a cove on the breeze for b2b and have no desire to get an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruizenSusan Posted May 27, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 27, 2015 We love cove balconies. I would stick with the cove balcony vs a higher up balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffy12 Posted May 27, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Many would consider Cove balconies superior to balconies on deck 6-8, I certainly would. Agreed - that's an "upgrade" I wouldn't take. The Coves are delightfully close to the water...and the standard balconies on that ship offer a delightfully disappointing view of the open lanai deck below. Just loved getting to look at a hot tub instead of the ocean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandb6266 Posted May 27, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I agree about cove being better than a reg. balcony. If I would have done more research when I sailed on the Dream I would have booked a cove cabin. I booked a cabin on deck six and I was in the middle of two hot tubs on the lanai deck. The only thing about a cove is don't book one under the GALLEY. I have read that from 4:00am all you hear is banging pots and pans getting ready for breakfast. Just do your research and you will love a cove. HAPPY SAILING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdamion Posted May 27, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 27, 2015 We love cove balconies. I would stick with the cove balcony vs a higher up balcony. I have my first Cove in a few days. My cabin mate wanted to "upgrade" and I said no way. Ive been waiting a long time for a cove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandij Posted May 27, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I have a cove booked for my next cruise and I would never upgrade to whatever balcony they have left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a free aft wrap make you upgrade?:) Other than that would stay put Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

springs741 Posted May 27, 2015 #15 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I always say Carnivals opinion of a better stateroom is not always consistent with my opinion. Cove balconies are often offered upgrades as they are very marketable. They move you from that awesome cove to a regular balcony for little or no money and then upsell that interior or ocean view booking to your cove for big bucks.

ilovetotravel1977 Posted May 27, 2015 Author #16 Share Posted May 27, 2015 The only reason why I am questioning cove vs. regular is I've read that the decks can be quite wet (depend on the seas, obviously). I know my DD7 would really think it's quite neat to be so close to the ocean, so that is why I'm considering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovetotravel1977 Posted May 27, 2015 Author #17 Share Posted May 27, 2015 One other question. Ports would be Ocho Rios, GC, and Cozumel. Port or starboard side cove balcony? I'd like to be able to see us arrive into port, not the oceanview side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked the starboard side for Breeze so we could see the coast of Cuba those times when we pass fairly close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drob Posted May 27, 2015 #20 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Are cove balconies only on deck 2? I'm looking at 2 different ships and both have cove balconies as included in the prices and both are on deck 2. Regular balconies are extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandb6266 Posted May 27, 2015 #21 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yes all cove balconies are on deck 2. That is what gets you close to the water. That is why every one likes them so much. HAPPY SAILING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drob Posted May 27, 2015 #22 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Wow, everyone likes them. Hmmm maybe I need to try it, hope I don't regret it that would make for a long 7 days since I love spending time on our balcony. So they are not as open as regular balconies, right?

Don't know what your "open" means, but I'd classify them cozy with the lifeboats overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddloml Posted May 27, 2015 #24 Share Posted May 27, 2015 A Cove is considered a 7C--two categories up would be an 8B which is a Standard Balcony. https://www.goccl.com/~/media/Files/Irman/bookccl/the_fleet/dream/dream.ashx I hope this isn't a hijack... We have a Cove (7C) on the Dream for our upcoming cruise, booked as Early Saver. The 7C category for that cruise is sold out at this time. If a higher category balcony (8A or higher) price goes below the price of our sold out Cove category, can I still submit an ES Price Protection claim?
