Question Carnival Dream Cove Balcony

We have pretty much made up our mind that we want to do a cove balcony when we cruise on the Dream in January, 2011 - IK! Almost a year away! Are there any rooms that would be better than another as far as location, noise, public areas(elevator, laundry, stairs) or any areas to avoid? Any help is appreciated.

As long as your neighbors aren't noisy it's not much of an issue.

My Cove was below the galley and a few times I heard carts crash to the floor. Of course, we had seas up to 30 feet so that had a great deal to do with it.

Nearly anything midships will be under the galley...

We have one booked on the May 15 sailing, and nearly everything I can dig up about these rooms is very positive.
Can't wait!

Sure seems that way. I can not recall even one post with a negative comment on the coves. All reports have been very positive.

I was doing some research on the Cove Balcony rooms as well and happened to find a link someone else posted that showed tons of pics on the cove balconies as well as the Dream itself. It's www.zydecocruiser.com. This is an awesome site with tons of info on the Dream and a ton of cove balcony pics. We are trying one in May, so hopefully this helps! Have a great cruise.

If you goto Youtube and search "Carnival Dream Cove Balcony", the first video that pops up is a great video of the view while the ship is cruising.
