I think we were 2412. It is right under the galley. As I mentioned in my previous post it was quite noisy. It didn't bother us but I bet it would a lot of people. I often wondered what they were dropping up there constantly. ETA - I just checked, we were 2414. I was close We were in room 2414 on the Magic and it was very loud from early morning until late at night. It sounded like bowling bowls being rolled across our ceiling at times. There must have been some kind of heavy wheeled cart or something that was being moved above us in the galley. We asked about the noise at guest services on day 2 or 3 and they called our room a couple of hours later and said they were going to move us to another room without us even requesting the room change. So we figured they must have known this was an known issue for that particular room on previous cruises. We have had other cove balconies in the area of the ship and have not heard any noise, so we were very surprised at the noise level when we go to this room. So, take this a word of warning for possible noise in this room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom.Terrific Posted September 23, 2022 #27 Share Posted September 23, 2022 We love Cove Balconies. Easily preferred to a "conventional" balcony. As long as you're not under the galley, you should be good. The only downside to those deck 2 cove's is, when you leave your room, you're almost always walking to an elevator. You're hardly ever walking up or down a flight or two of stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong38501 Posted September 23, 2022 #28 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Loved the cove balcony on the Dream. We were forward, one of the first 3 or 4 cove balconies on deck 2 and never heard any noise above us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie16 Posted September 25, 2022 #29 Share Posted September 25, 2022 We loved our cove balcony on the Panorama. We enjoyed the protection from the wind and felt it was warmer on cool sea days. Also, being so close to the water was enjoyable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudyard Posted September 25, 2022 #30 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Love the Coves! Stayed in my first one last year and it lived up to the hype. Booked a cruise earlier this year about eight weeks before sailing and couldn't get one as they are that popular. Ended up in a Lido balcony which we've had many times in the past and is now a close second as far as favorites go. Going to be back in a Cove in December and can't wait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in Maine Posted September 26, 2022 #31 Share Posted September 26, 2022 We were in a Cove last November on the Magic. We LOVED it! Just got off the Magic on Saturday and had a regular balcony on Deck 8. We'll be going back to the Cove if we can get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinJerseyMom Posted September 27, 2022 #33 Share Posted September 27, 2022 This post made to check my room for my next cruise on the Horizon. I found out it's under the galley. I'm a really light sleeper so I called and had us move to under the shore excursions desk. Much quieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froufie Posted September 27, 2022 #34 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Coves are my preferred type of cabin!! I cruise to see the ocean - and this is as close as you can get! Private and protected - love going out early morning and late at night to see the waves and yes I have seen marine life. But as mentioned do see what is above/below you (which I would do anyway no matter where my cabin was). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdie16 Posted September 29, 2022 #37 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I'm going to try a video...hopefully it will not be upside down. 😉 This video shows you how close to everything you are on the Cove Balcony level.

It is also the deck with the Family suites, so make sure you are far enough away from that if you don't want to be around kids. Our location was far enough it didn't bother us. We spent more time on our balcony on this cruise than we usually do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our cabin location was between the lifeboats, so we didn't have them blocking our immediate view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe 2346 is below the galley (2349 is on the other side and seems to be under the dining room) - you may have early morning galley noise and might want to switch if you are a light sleeper? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t notice any galley noise, but we found this ship doesn’t have as much soundproofing between cabins and the doors slam constantly from people on their balconies. We were very careful about not slamming, not everyone was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
