Creator's Key Takeaways

It is way more spacious than a lot of other balcony rooms on Carnival, especially Carnival Horizon, but you lose it in the balcony

I love the cove balcony. was a little concerned in the beginning because I knew we wouldn't have a straight out view

So overall, getting this balcony, this code balcony in seven in 2272 was a great upgrade

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a portable fan or ask your room steward for one as soon as you get on the ship
Ask for a mattress topper for the bed in room 2272 on Carnival Horizon
Use magnet hooks for lanyards and other items by the door
