glittergal1 Posted July 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Hello those of you who have had Cove balconies can you please give me the cabin numbers of any that are the best for being quiet with no smells and those that are to be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keywest1 Posted July 6, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2019 We had 2273 (starboard) on the Magic and 2248 (port) on the Breeze. Those are the first cove balconies. They were very quiet and we never noticed any smells. Since they are sister ships, I would recommend either of those cabins on the Magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never smell a thing the entire time we are on the ship. Does make dining a lot less pleasurable, though🤓 I am pretty sure OP and I are referring to the same "smell" and it wasn't present in either of the coves when we were staying in them.

coevan Posted July 6, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2019 How about cigar smoke, the smoke stack exhaust and the guy sitting next to me at the bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biris Posted July 7, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I highly recommend cabin 2353 on the Magic. We’ve stayed in this cove cabin twice, and the last time is this past May. Quiet and no smell. Location is great because it’s close to the stairs and elevators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_k58 Posted July 7, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 7, 2019 we have had 2281, 2289 and 2293 on the Breeze - they were great - very quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakersdozen12 Posted July 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 7, 2019 We stayed in 2288 and it was quiet, and we never noticed a smell. Though how quiet a room is will depend not just on location, but on who your neighbors are. On our last cruise, we had the loudest neighbors ever. At one point I almost called security because they got into such a heated fight, I thought someone was going to get hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizeemom4 Posted July 7, 2019 #9 Share Posted July 7, 2019 2285 on Magic was intolerable. The smell was so so so bad. I spent most of the trip looking at the ocean thru the window. I couldn't bear to sit on the balcony because of the poop-deck smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glittergal1 Posted July 7, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Thank you all so far, the smells I was referring to and I should have elaborated are sewage smells that some reviewers had mentioned also the cooking smells coming from the Galley above and floating down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homosassa Posted July 7, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Those odours that you are referring to will be dependent on the location of the vents and wind direction. They can be smelled anywhere on the ship when conditions are right. Also, if you have a sewage smell in your cabin, check the air trap in the bathroom. It is the drain that is location on the floor (not the shower), many times under or behind the toilet. If it dries out, sewage smells will come up. Pour a glass of water into the drain to block the gases. If all else fails, check your cabin mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
