virginiab Posted December 30, 2015 #2 Share Posted December 30, 2015 We've had cove balconies on the Dream twice and really enjoyed them both times. We enjoy getting more shade than the regular balconies do, and we like to watch things down closer to the water. They do get more salt spray than higher balconies, but we just wipe down the table and the arms of the chairs, then use our beach towels to cover the rest of the chairs.

BigB0882 Posted December 31, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 31, 2015 We had one on the dream and absolutely loved it. Make sure it isn't under the galley. Ours was under the excursion desk and had no noise at all since that is closed at night. We had an extended balcony once (L shaped cabin) and the cove was my preferred room even over the bigger balcony. The sound of the ocean was great and these are the cheapest balcony rooms!!

kwitt703 Posted December 31, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yes! I don't know why they are cheaper than regular balconies! (Shhh. I like it that way!). I had one on the Breeze, and absolutely LOVED it. Was talked into getting a regular balcony a year later on the dream, and the whole time I was wishing I was down on deck 2 in a cove balcony. Wise wise decision. Don't be talked out of it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watermelonqueen99 Posted December 31, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 31, 2015 The cove balconies are the only balconies we will shell out the extra money for. Otherwise, we book interior. You will LOVE the cove. But as someone mentioned above, double check that it isn't under the galley. We had one, and oh my! :eek::eek::eek: It sounded as though they were throwing pans onto the floor as hard as they could, all night long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renza Posted December 31, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Been in a cove once on dream and 2 times on breeze. The best. Just don't get under galley. Our friends had a banging noise all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacher32 Posted December 31, 2015 #9 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Totally agree with the others. We had a cove on the Dream. Best balcony ever. We were under the dining room. No noise whatsoever. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaljoe Posted December 31, 2015 #10 Share Posted December 31, 2015 We had a cove balcony on the Dream and later on the Breeze and loved them both times. We were under the dining room, we heard chairs being moved around early morning and one evening we heard them singing but it wasn't all that bad. At night when we needed it quiet, it was and that's all that mattered to us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakersdozen12 Posted January 1, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yes, you will love it! Had one on the Dream. Loved being that close to the ocean and being able to hear the waves. I would book one again in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis30223 Posted January 1, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 1, 2016 DW and I were in a cove balcony on the Dream and loved it. You can hear the waves crashing against the hull and close enough to see the fish jumping in the surf below the balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising maniac Posted January 1, 2016 #15 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Check out the site http://www.cruisedeckplans.com and make sure you are not under the galley. If you are, move or bring some ear plugs. Could be real noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riclop Posted January 1, 2016 #16 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I just booked a cove balcony on the Dream have I chosen wisely?? Thanks for your Input!! We don't like them at all we love lido balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted January 1, 2016 #17 Share Posted January 1, 2016 We had a cove and then two lidos. Now that we are going on another dream class ship it's back to cove and I can't wait! I love the ocean and being so close to the water is worth the travel time to the lido deck. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peymas Posted January 1, 2016 #18 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Love the cove balcony. Twice on the Dream and once on the Breeze and once on the Magic. I sure will miss it on my next cruise since the ship only has regular balconies. Love being so close to the water and just sitting in your chair to watch the people coming back from shore. (we always get back one hour early) Edited January 1, 2016 by peymas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k2excursion Posted January 1, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I also loved our cove! I have been in 3 balconies: a cove, midway up, & way up high. Only the cove is worth the extra money, IMO. We were under the dining room, and didn't hear a thing, because it's empty all night long. We could barely hear a peep, if even that, when it was being used. I just wouldn't want one under the galley, as others have mentioned. Those run from the midship elevators on back. Stay forward of the midship elevators, and you'll be fine.
