I love a cove balcony and agree with everything you said, especially being close to the water. My favorite part of being at sea is the sea itself. However, you didn't mention one of my favorite things about a cove balcony. On most decks, to get from one end of the ship to the other, you have to go around, over, under, or through restaurants, shops, atriums, attractions, and who knows what. On the second deck, there is always a straight, level passageway from bow to stern.
I came to CZcams to get people’s reactions to the cove as I just booked one for my very first cruise. You’ve got me stoked to experience it. 🙌
Like you , we have tried every type of cabin (except suite), and cove balcony is by far my favorite ! I enjoy a regular balcony , but LOVE a cove balcony. The view ,and sound of the water is so soul cleansing to me . The privacy makes it feel like you are totally alone , even on a ship of thousands .
We got a cove balcony on our last cruise (Horizon, 2019), and I'll never go back to anything else! I love the sense of privacy, the closeness to the water, and the incredible views. Also, absolutely on point with the proximity to the gangway while in port. Great video! We've got a cove balcony on our next cruise on the Mardi Gras!
I was so excited to find the cove balcony. It's actually close to the water.
Was that a family harbor suite? Those by far are my favorite rooms on Carnival. You get access to the lounge and you are close to the water. Doesn't get any better than that.
Appreciate your reasons. I agree with them. Also like that the coves are shaded. Especially when cruising in the hot summer months, I want a place to be outside listening to the water without baking in the sun.
Agree. Love a cove! Love being close to the water!
You sold me man!! Ty for the info. Much appreciated
So grateful to have come across your video. You've just changed my whole perspective! Thank you
We're booked in a cove on Jubliee, but it's on deck 5. I can't wait to experience it. My husband, I'm not so sure. It was picked for us. I'll let him "be surprised" when we get there. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the amazing video ❤
Willing to try at least for the reasons you mentioned. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Made me excited about my upcoming Cove Balcony!
Because of your video we cruised on a Cove balcony 3/2020, right before everything was shut down. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I mean THE BEST. We like it way more than the regular balcony and inside cabins. I love water, so tranquil. This exceeded our expectations.
Thank you!
Awesome! So glad you loved it and that you got on a cruise before the shutdown. Thank you so much for sharing. Be well.
Thank you for sharing. I love it when others can find great new experiences. Be well. Celebrate Life.
I just booked one. I can't wait. Didn't know that any line actually offered balcony cabins on the water line this.
Thank you for this video. I will try out a cove balcony!!!
Loved your video! Just booked my first Cove Balcony on Mardi Gras New Year's Eve sailing. (Actually sets sail the day after Christmas 2020). Your video confirmed a lot of what I suspected about these cabins! New subscriber!!!
Will be in a cove balcony may 2021, can’t wait to try it. Thanks for making me more excited 😆
Thanks for the video. We're taking our 3rd cruise next week. We're in adjoining cove balconies with family. We're super exited about trying this type room.
We booked a cove balcony room for April 2020. I have stayed in an interior room before but never this type of room. I'm excited now to enjoy this even more. Thanks for the video.
I have never considered a cove balcony before but you make it sound so good! One thing I wouldn’t like about it is that there wouldn’t be as much light in the room. I love a sunny stateroom.
Thank you, get to see our first cove balcony room in 4 months
I booked one on the dream and I absolutely loved it. It’s so beautiful, and I love being right on the water. I have one booked on the Mardi Gras in December! Can’t wait! ❤️
Have a cruise THIS SATURDAY on the Breeze. I was afraid of the cove balcony...even called and sat on hold to try to change rooms. You have sold me. I can't wait to go!!!!
Great job! We have a cove balcony for our next cruise. We loved your enthusiasm!
Great video on explaining what a cove balcony is all about. My family and I stayed in one on the Breeze and the Vista. Nothing like it.
Booked a Cove Balcony on the Horizon ... Thanks for the video
i agree this was a great choice, i am looking forward to booking another cove balcony i loved it
It will be my first time in a cove balcony next week. You got me a little hype now. Nice video bro. ✊🏽
Soooo excited for this balcony!! First time cruising with Carnival
Great video. We love the cove balcony. Have one booked for November
I agree with all of your reasons for the cove balcony. My 1st cove was also on Carnival breeze after trying other cabins the cove balcony was magical. Looking forward to my cove balcony on the Mardi Gras
I have two balcony cruises next year (for the first time). I've been nervous about them because so many people commented that they're always wet and not useable. So glad all your good reasons to book one!
I am looking forward to hearing the roaring loud ocean!
THANK YOU!! I'm planning my vacation in August and this helped me so much! I was hesitant on a cove balcony but now I'm sold!!
Jeff, thanks for the insights on this balcony. Often though to book a Cove. Though having the lifeboats above was a possible turnoff.
God Bless and thumbs up!
I'm a first time cruiser looking to pick the right room. Thanks for the tips !
Never booked a Cove, but you are a great spokesman for one, and we will have to consider!
Doing this in May! 1st time with cove balcony…. Thank you for your input, I booked and was unsure about it! This made me more excited!
I can't wait! We are booked in a cove balcony on the Vista for Nov 2023! We have always sailed Oceanview so this is gonna be awesome.
You sold this! Carnival should be playing this. I'm booking now!
Okay, I'm booked and ready for my first Cove Balcony. Thanks for sharing
This video really helped me make up my mind to book a Cove Balcony 🚢 Thanks for sharing
I will be staying in my first Cove Balcony January 13, 2022 on Carnival Breeze and I can'twait!! Your video makes me even more excited that I booked that type of room.
Hey ! Thanks for sharing
THank you for this video! We have always booked a regular balcony but when we went to book the Mardi Gras for May they were already full! It was between a cove and the Aft extended but it overlooked the pool. I would hate that!! So I opted for this but was nervous. I was put on the waiting list for a different room. But I absolutely want to try this now! Thanks again.
We will have a cove balcony on the Jubilee, and really appreciated this video.
5:20 Very nice video. We will be going on our first cruise soon & booked a cove balcony on deck 2 on the Panorama. Your video has us very excited about our room. Thanks!
We booked a cruise for September 13th and we booked a cove balcony. So glad that I ran into this video. Thanks for the tips.. will let you know how much we enjoyed it!
My wife and I go On the Magic in Feb. I booked the Cove before this video and now am glad I did. Hopenit all works out like this. I will let you know.
This will be our 20th cruise - and our first cove balcony!! Now I’m even more excited!!
You ARE SELLING ME THIS COVE BALCONY HAHAHAH! Great VIDEO! Might have to book a cove balcony now!
Your comments about the sunrise and sunsets have convinced me. Thank you!
Awesome. I would love to know what you think after your trip.
I booked my first Cove Balcony on the Mardi Gras. I thought I made a mistake. But you have eased my mind about it.
This was a really nice video. This is our first time in a cove balcony. Normally we are in a balcony on the 7th or 8th deck. I can't wait.
Gotta Agree with you. I've booked it everytime its available, Then i try for aft balcony on the older ships, then regular balcony.
Booked on carnival vista for nov 6 2021. In the cove balcony 2281. So looking forward to it.
Christmas on Mardi Gras 2023, I look forward to enjoying the views.
The cove balcony on the new Excel class is even better! It has a balcony just like upper balconies. Meaning, it’s open from side to side, no metal window. And below the rail is clear plexiglass not metal. And if you pick your room, look at above deck plan & make sure you have a lifeboat above you. We had heavy rain first 2 days on Mardi Gras & the lifeboats kept us dry. On sunny days we had shade. Love coves on Excel class.
I'm booking one. Thanks for the update.
You did a great job on hid video, if ever We go back Iam booking cove balcony! Thanks
Thanks for this video. We will be in 5209 on the Jubilee. Love the humor!! New subscriber.
Have a cove balcony on the Breeze June 8th. First time in a Cove, but after your video I am more excited as ever.....thank you.
When we cruise carnival these are the only room we get...I hope your experience is awesome. Jealous 😆
Thanks for the additional info. My first cruise was an outside cabin, just above the waterline, and I loved it. Now, I can't do any category less than a balcony cabin. We ofte did suites and mini- suites with Mom so she had enough room to get around with her walker. Being able to sit outside anytime of day or night and listen to the ocean is the biggest reason I cruise. I've contemplated a cove balcony in the past but wondered if it was a smoother "ride" being closer to the water line or a rougher ride??? But I'm not sure I'm sold on the idea of being underneath the lifeboats.
I've sailed many times and had a normal balcony on decks 6 through 12. Just booked a cove balcony on the Carnival Jubilee, which is on deck 5. Can't wait. =)
I currently have a cove balcony booked and was going to upgrade to the Cloud 9 Balcony...
Because of this video...I will keep it as is and save $250.00
Thank you for this post Bro...
Absolutely Loooooove Cove balconies! Really all the reasons you mentioned are the reasons I book them. Nothing else to be said it’s a wonderful experience :)
Amen to that.
You got me sold, LOL!!!!! I was interior lido and just upgraded to the cove balcony. It looks to be a great choice, I can’t wait!
I hope you enjoy it.
Wow! You make a compelling case! We have one booked on the Mardi Gras this coming January. Looking forward to watching the flying fish from there!
If you are lucky you can see dolphins and sea gulls too. Wow I should have added that!
Booked my first cove balcony when the Breeze first came out. I fell in love with it. I have booked one ever since if the ship has them.
I have my first one in 61 days. This has me so hype!
Love the coves...
so needless to say I am jealous.. I hope it is a wonderfully wonderful experience.
THe big reason for me also is I tend to get sea sick so been told to stay lower mid ship so being on cove balcony it's best plus my husband loves it being 1. Close to the water 2. best sunrise/sunset like you said 3. easy access 4. close to everything 5. less movement on ship and best location as far as I'm concerned. I agree with you.
I've stayed in a regular balcony, an aft balcony and an inside. NOTHING beats a cove. I don't even consider ocean view because if I'm going to pay to upgrade from interior, I'm just going all the way to balcony. But truly, this is the very best cabin you can get other than a suite. And honestly, for a regular sized suite, I'd even be on the fence.
You sold me, I'm getting one!
Booked a cove balcony for my next cruise. I was apprehensive about being so close to the water but, you sir, have sold me! Thanks for a great video
I hope you enjoy it!
Great reasons! We have been on several Carnival Ships but have never had a Cove Balcony, however we are trying a Spa Cove Balcony in October on the Mardi Gras. My only concern is that it's below the comedy club....
Nice
I just booked my first cove balcony. I'm excited about it now. I was concerned first but now i can't wait.
You will love it! The sounds… soothes the soul.
You have hyped me so up for my cove I booked for January! I am a water baby and I always would say to myself, "man i wish i was closer to the water down there" I usually get a higher balcony, and you have gotten me so excited for this one! I didn't even think about the benefits of the location. I know dining is usually on 3 or 4 eeek!! perfect!! Thank you for this video!!
Ty so much I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
We just got back off the Vista and you are right one floor from dining and one floor from the Liquid Lounge (main theater).
thanks i have one booked for december 2021 and i will be back to let you know how much i love it
Thank you so much. I am sailing on that date also, The Mardi Gras!
My reason for not booking a Cove Balcony on the Horizon, I didn’t know they existed. Now I know what to book on my next cruise once they start again
I am going to have to try a cove balcony. I always get the aft facing balcony.
Have my first cove booked for next March.
You talked me into it, Bro!
Yessssssssssss. When it is all over let me know how it went!!!
Me too!! 👍
i will be on a cove balcony in May of 2022. The reason my friend that is cruising with me picked this, shes afraid of heights. I've never been on a cruise ship, so I will see what happens
We fell in love with the cove balconies on the Dream class ships. Booked one for the Mardi Gras back in nov...BUT we had an offer to upgrade to a suite ;-( bad decision we should have kept the cove.
Yes...I love this review AND another reason is that the cove balcony is 45 square feet instead of 35 square feet for a regular balcony.
Good info. Will include when I update this video
We are going on our first cruise in April 2023 and booked a Cove balcony. So excited for it after watching your video. 😁
So happy for you. It will change your life.
@@AlwaysBeCruising thank you! Great Channel!
I never booked a cover balcony. Never heard of it until this year. Thinking maybe my Alaskan curise.
I like the ones mid ship ,deck 2 because I get sea sick.
So me and my 3 teens booked our 1st balcony cove for the Carnival Dream during the summer of 2021. We're nervous about any choppy waters but are looking forward to the views and easy access on and off the ship. Thanks for your enlightenment!..
I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised. Depending on the ship you will be about 30-50 above the water at that height the ship doesn't rock as much as you would think. What you will probably notice more than anything is the sound of the water since you are so close. That could be a good thing or bad thing depending on whether you enjoy that type of sound. I can assure you one thing you will have an experience like none other on the balcony, day or night. Grab a glass of your favorite adult beverage and watch a sunset and or sunrise and you'll be glad you tried it. Just remember to celebrate life you are on a cruise what can be better than that?
@@AlwaysBeCruising I definitely love the sound and even smell of the water! Looking forward to the sunsets and great pics thanks!
Thank you for posting this! I have a Cove Balcony booked on the Celebration this coming November 2024. I booked it for the price, and figured it was a cheaper way to have a balcony that we didn't plan to spend much time in anyway. We currently are located mid ship port side, with no life boats on top of us. And just a slight concern is our cabin is directly under Cherry on Top and Java Blue. Hopefully we won't hear anything over our heads.
I was considering a regular balcony offer for another $145 which would be on a higher floor, but after seeing this video I will keep it as is. I am only concerned that the actual balcony itself on the cove is smaller than a regular. Just wondering if that is the case.
We're very happy to stumble upon this video of yours, as we are avid balcony cruisers. No cruise without a balcony! However, we never considered a cove balcony, and, to be completely honest with you, out of the two of us, only my wife had heard of it before. After watching this, I have gotten very curious. Would this really be so different from a regular balcony? Well, I guess there is only one way to find out ;-)
I like you were on the fence. We were taking our 7 year old on her first cruise and I didn't know if she would be able to see as much down in the cove. To my surprise she loved being close to the water and she enjoyed falling asleep too the sound of the water. Yes you can hear it!
She loved it so much that she was upset that we stayed in a balcony cabin on the MSC Seaside.
It truly is a nice experience. Try it once, beside its only 7 days out of your life.
Be well. Let me know if you decide to do it.
We are cruising for the 1st time in November. We specifically chose the Cove Balcony for most of the reasons you stated. It's possibly the only time we will do this so we want a good experience but within reason.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
If anyone ever gets a chance, you absolutely must book a family harbor suite. We booked the family harbor suite on carnival vista last year. So many perks especially if you already like the cove balcony’s. It’s basically bigger than the cove balcony, you’re still close to the waterline, it’s got two bathrooms, access to family harbor lounge, which is great for port day breakfast so you won’t have to go up to lido deck and the crowds and the kids got there own spot in the room
Indeed. So glad you mentioned that because we have been wanting to try one. The private social area, drinks, and food look awesome. Don't have to walk as far to get a late night snack I presume. 2021 is the year. Definitely will make a video about that. Be well.
To noise
I booked a cove cabin for my November cruise. I have had a regular balcony cabin and I missed the sound of the ocean. I usually pick an ocean view cabin in a lower floor. Something about the sound and view of the water. After seeing this I can’t wait!
They are so awesome. Listen to this 90 minutes of the sea from a cove balcony czcams.com/video/0KaCH9Juuhg/video.html
@@AlwaysBeCruising thank you! That’s beautiful 🤩 Now I’m even more excited!
You've sold me on the idea! (^_^) ....before confirming my booking for next year though, I'd like to know from your experience, how noisy did the rooms get at times since they seem so close to high-trafficked areas?
FYI if noise bothers you make sure not to book a cove under the kitchen or restaurant else you will hear chairs moving and pans dropping.
Just booked my cove balcony on the Horizon for July 2023.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
We're booked in a cove balcony on the Dream for next year. I'm super excited to experience this unique cabin. I didn't realize how close we will be to the deck where you disembark on port days, so is that on deck 3? We will just go up to deck 3 on port days? That will be amazing. I'm pumped.
Glad to hear you booked a Cove. One of the hidden perks is the proximity to deck three....up one flight of stairs and you are ready to get off the boat..and walk down two flights to get off at ports. Also you are one floor below main dining. So if you need to run back to the room you can and you have extra time to get ready. I can go on and on such great rooms. Ty for taking the time to share.
I'm booking on the Dream & may just do a cove as well!
Btw what cruise line has the sail away balcony that you mentioned?
“Only thing below you is the water line” …..”the water is about 30 feet away from you” 🥴…I love the water but idk if I want to be THAT close. What if there’s a huge wave or storm. I might give it a try though. you sold me about 85% 😉
On the Vista as of July 31st in a cove balcony suite. Video coming soon.
Loved the Cove…..I don’t care about the pool on top deck.
I booked a cove balcony for my next cruise on Carnival Magic in December but then I got an upgrade offer to move to the 8th floor regular balcony and took it. I missed my chance.
