footballbabe3 Posted July 25, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 25, 2011 This might sound like a stupid question but I was wondering about how high above the water are the Cove balconys? I was going to book one and then saw that they have big doors they shut in rough waters. Now I'm not sure in case of rough seas.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted July 25, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2011 They are all on deck 2, so you are quite close to the water. Rough weather you could feel some spray. We had water splashing on our window on the bottom deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted July 25, 2011 #3 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'd guess about 30 feet or a bit less from the water line. You're on the second passenger deck above a single lower deck... The Coves are the second level of openings in the hull in the picture above. Here's a picture of the door you referenced... Ours was never closed even in 30 foot seas and winds gusting 96 knots... I don't think it's a problem... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Mach* Posted July 25, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Host Mach didnt you say though that you could feel the water spray when you were in rough water. 30 foot seas and extraordinarily strong winds... you could feel the spray on the open decks... ALL of the open decks... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scchasgal Posted July 25, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Host Mach didnt you say though that you could feel the water spray when you were in rough water. It wasn't even rough and I got the spray but you had to hang your head over the rail and look forward :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havelotsfaith Posted July 25, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I think its cool that you get another view...anybody can look out at the ocean from the high decks but with the cove balcony you get a closer look :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luv-my-kids Posted July 26, 2011 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2011 We had a cove balcony on the Dream in March. WE LOVED IT!!! If we were on the Dream again I would not go if we could not be in a cove.

I wish all ships would have them. Amazing views, loved the sound of the ocean water at night as we slept with the door slightly opened. Never had rough seas so we had use of the balconies every day..... Great choice.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBoss Posted July 26, 2011 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I've had a cove, loved everything about it. Now booked a regular balcony on another ship....yuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also loved the privacy it provided.You will not be disappointed. We sailed on the inaugural of the Dream from New York and determined then and there that we would NOT book any other class of cabin on a Dream Class ship. We've got a Cove booked for the Magic for John Heald's Blogger's Cruise from Galveston next March... smack dab midships!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
