peachynessa Posted March 24, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2016 We have booked a Balcony on the lido deck on our upcoming Vista cruise. I have only ever had a Cove Balcony and was wondering which Balcony do you prefer and why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted March 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2016 We have had both. The lido is nice because it's so close to the lido area. But you can't beat the view from a cove. We picked a cove on our upcoming b2b on the breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&T ReadyToCruiseAgain Posted March 24, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 24, 2016 We prefer the Lido balcony cabins unless we splurge on an aft wrap balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissach Posted March 24, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I can't make an accurate comparison as I have never been in a cove....but that being said I have no interest in the coves, so my vote is for the Lido balcony. I don't like the fact that they seem closed in, no glass railing etc. Edited March 24, 2016 by nissach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have an unobstructed view of what's passing by. You are overthinking this ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseonthebrain Posted March 24, 2016 #10 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Lido balconies are awesome! Remember you are on the Lido deck, not overlooking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsastic Posted March 24, 2016 #11 Share Posted March 24, 2016 The lido ! The only big problem with the lido is I never booked anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfromCT Posted March 24, 2016 #12 Share Posted March 24, 2016 We had Lido balconies on our past 2 Breeze cruises and absolutely LOVE them! They are so quiet, as there are doors out to the hall, before the doors out to the actual Lido deck. People have a misconception that these cabins are noisy, and that couldn't be further from the truth. They are SO convenient to EVERYTHING. If you want to run back and use your OWN bathroom during the day. If you want to run and grab a coffee to enjoy on your balcony in the morning. If you want to go get a pillow to enjoy the Dive In Movies.:rolleyes: You will NOT be disappointed with your choice. As far as price drops, YES. We booked an 8 night Southern in July of 2014. 3 people in a Lido cabin we paid $4200. After all of our price drops, we were down to $2700. There was just ONE cabin left for about two months. Good luck and Enjoy!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a lot better now You are very welcome!! You are going to LOVE them. For us, we can only do them on the Dream class ( Dream, Magic, and Breeze and soon to be Vista) All of the other classes of ships do not allow 3 in a Lido Balcony:mad::mad: Enjoy the cruise and good luck with the price drops. P.S. Check as many times a day as you can. I was very persistent.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
