Cove Balconies And Why You Want One

Creator's Key Takeaways
I have more than 200 days sailing on Carnival and I am at the highest diamond level, but I have never stayed at a Cove balcony until now.
Being just a few feet above the water line is breathtaking. You don't just see the waves, you hear them crashing.
The privacy is a huge plus. On a standard balcony, the partitions can be thin and from deck 5, you can actually look up into most balconies.
These cove balconies are often priced the same or even less than a standard balcony on a higher deck.
