On the Carnival website there is this Video of the new Carnival Dream. Her exterior does indeed look better than all the Destiny Derivative in my mind. Not sure about all those wind breaks along the promenade deck. They make it look less inviting to circumnavigate.

I'm surprised how wide that promenade is. Those wind breakers mess up the flow though, you can't stand at one end and look all the way up. Does anyone know why this promenade design needs wind breakers when the RCCL ones don't?

I like what they've done with the stern end. It's nice to see a Carnival ship rounded off back there for a change. We haven't seen that since, what? The Festivale/Carnivale/Mardi Gras? Better late than never, I guess.

It's a nice evolution and will probably be quite nice closer up. I did look at the floor plans and it really hasn't improved at all on the inside. Same choke points and under used spaces. The outdoor spaces are a big improvement though. The wrap around promenade will be nice. It was pretty lonely on the liberty but they've always been my favorite deck. I like to taste the salt spray.

Anyways, here's my interpretation based on limited research materials.

"A first for our fleet of "Fun Ships," Cove Balcony staterooms will be located closer to the water line and offer beautiful sea views at an exceptional value".

So Carnival 'Hull Holes' are 'coves' - interesting!

A Cove Balcony sure sounds better than a "Hull Hole"!
