7C Cove balcony on The Dream

[KatANDKel]

Can anyone tell me the difference between a regular balcony room and a "cove" balcony??...I just booked a cove balcony 7C on The Dream this morning bc it was about $100 cheaper than an 8A. Just wanted some opinions :)

I will be able to tell you in May. We booked a cove room also, and can't wait. I did a search on cove balconies and found a lot of interesting reviews. I have only read good things, but I guess it's a matter of ones preferences....I will look for the link to some reviews I read and forward them to you. Have a great cruise!

On Youtube put "Carnival Dream Cove Balcony" in the search box and it will give you a video of the view from it.

We've had a regular balcony on every cruise. For our cruise on The Dream, however, we went with a cove balcony and really enjoyed it, as we're sure you will also! The cabins are basically the same in size and the balcony is simply enclosed around you. The view of the ocean, being much closer, was exciting and very soothing to listen to at night. Enjoy every minute of your cruise.

The cove balcony is not open air? Is that plexiglass or similar above the wood railing?

That's good. Someone said 'the balcony is simply enclosed around you'. That had me thinking that it was plexiglass. Thanks for clearing that up.
