gene g Posted July 29, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Can the waves blow up on the cove balcony and get it wet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCraig Posted July 29, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) Yes and no. Do Cove Balconies get a little wet? Yes. The front of the ship ones can get some ocean spray on the balconies. No biggie. Never had issues with Mid-Ship Coves or towards aft coves (other than being under the galley). If there is a storm with rough waters, they close the cove balconies off and seal them. Very rare. Edited July 29, 2021 by BrotherCraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum53 Posted July 29, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Something else to keep in mind. Whenever the crew is scheduled to wash down the sides of the ship, and you are in a balcony cabin, you will get a letter ahead of time notifying you of this. Your cove balcony may not get wet from the waves, but they will definitely get wet when the ship is being washed. Fair warning! Do not leave any foot wear on your balcony, or you'll have wet shoes to deal with. I speak from experience. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted July 29, 2021 #4 Share Posted July 29, 2021 We've been in a cove balcony quite a few times. Like BrotherCraig, we always get midship and have never had any waves come onto the balcony. We have sailed through a tropical storm (with beachbum53!) and sat on our balcony and watched the waves and the weather. No doors were ever closed around us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The room steward came in and mopped out the balcony for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
