I have done both the cove balcony and one on the 11th deck (panoramic). I loved the cove and found it very private and quiet. The downside is the lack of direct sunlight. As for the upper deck balcony I would stick to 9th deck or above. We checked out the privacy of the other cabins and realized that you can see not only the balcony, but into some of the rooms on the sixth/upper deck. Deck 7 balconies were visible from the promenade deck. Deck 8 was semi private, but above that you really couldn't see unless the people were looking over the balcony. I love the Dream and looking forward to one last journey with her before she sails over to New Orleans. We are back on the 11th deck for the location and sun!

We had the balcony room 11248 last summer and loved it. It was the last room before the spa balconies so we knew if the carpet changed color we had passed the room. We loved it so much that I booked to again for our March Cruise. It was very quiet and close to everything.

Any theme park in Orlando would be busy during a holiday weekend, but SeaWorld is definitely going to be less busy. Most families are eager to visit Disney or Universal leaving SeaWorld less crowded. Also, SeaWorld has been having a bit of an image problem so many people are avoiding them. As for driving, SeaWorld will be the easiest/closest Orlando park. It is right off the BeachLine/528, therefore you can avoid the dreaded parking lot known as I-4. Have fun and enjoy the day!
