Cabin Review

The cove balcony was a great choice for us. There were some times that there was rain and wind and this balcony is protected from the weather that most of the time we could still sit on it and enjoy the ocean rolling by and stay (mostly) dry. There were 3 of us in the room (my wife, our daughter and myself). The couch converted into a very comfortable bed for our daughter - so while we didn't have any place to sit besides the beds or out on the balcony, there wasn't a terrible feeling of claustrophobia.We had signed up for the "carnival chooses" hoping that we would get an upgrade over the basic room but that didn't happen. We were still quite happy with the room.You are very close to the water in this room - so I believe the amount of movement is less than it would have felt if you had been several floors higher. It's also not too far from the center of the ship which I believe also reduces the feeling of movement.The windows were cleaned at our first port of call (Jamaica), but were dirty again within a day or two.The full size window and glass inset in the door gave us a great view while we where in the room.The balconies are separated from each other very well, giving us a great sense of privacy.
