Any cove balcony lovers? Please ease my mind

We have had cove balconies on Dream, Magic & Breeze. I will book them as long as they are on the ship. Close to the water and saw dolphins twice. As to sea spray, there would be a little residue on the railings but nothing that bothered us. Like a previous poster said, check your location that you're not under the galley or other noisy spot. Take a book, great place to chill and read, or nap, or drink or have breakfast.........Most of all Enjoy !!!

Thanks to everyone who replied. I'm really excited about the balcony! Too bad the cruise isn't till a year from now, lol.

I have a quick question about the cove balcony staterooms on the Vista.

My wife is concerned about storage space for luggage.  We have collapsible wheeled duffels that worked very well on our last cruise (Ecstacy, November 2010).  My wife seems to remember being able to stow them under the bed.  I thought that the space under the bed was blocked off, but it's been a long time.

This time I was thinking about bringing our enormous 28" Delsey Spinner hardside suitcase.  That thing is big enough to hide an adult in.  So, does anyone have any input as to which type of luggage works best in a cove balcony?
