Does anyone know the difference between a cove balcony and a deluxe balcony?

Cove balconies are the balconies as shown in the photo below:

(The cove balconies are the larger "black squares" in the ship rendering, just below the life boats.)

Cove balconies are only on deck 6 on the Sun, and it means you will be closer to the water. Check this video out to see what a cove balcony looks like on Carnival's Mardi Gras. You're basically surrounded by the steel structure instead of just the standard glass and the standard balcony dividers.

"Deluxe balcony" is just the term Princess is using for their standard balcony cabin on Sun. It will look like what you would expect for any balcony, like here (video also from Carnival's Mardi Gras).

Adding to @snoozecrooze's response.  Rather than a sliding door, you will have a separate door and a window on a Cove Balcony as per the picture below from the Princess website. There is likely to be a metal panel that can be swung around to cover the door to protect the balcony door in bad weather which will restrict your access. However, a cove balcony is likely to give the passenger direct views down to the sea, unlike most of the deluxe balconies which will be set back and overlook the decks on Sun Princess.
