Epic H5 Aft or H6 Forward

[MMastell]

I want to book a Haven Suite on Epic's transatlantic. I have two Suite choices, a rear facing H6 or an H5 (17002) that is in The Haven. The H5 is forward facing and looks from the deck plan to be a HA cabin.

 

I love the Haven amenities but I'm not sure if I want the hassle and the walk to get to the Haven from an aft cabin on a lower deck. I also love aft cabins and book them whenever it's feasible.

 

My questions are:

 

Is an H5 (17002) small?

Is there an actual open and usable balcony in the H5 (17002)?

Which would you choose: Aft Penthouse or H5?

I know the final decision is mine but would like to hear other people's preferences and experiences with these types of cabins. I previously had an H4 on Epic.

 

Thanks,

Mike

Google "NCL Epic 17005" and the first thing to come up will be a video of the room on the starboard which is a mirror image of the one you are considering.

Thank you.

 

Checked out videos of each cabin and I'm going with the H6. A "little" larger and the balcony is much nicer. I'll lose some weight walking up to the Haven for breakfast and dinner. :)

 

I do wish an H4 was available for the sailing. :(

 

Thanks again,

Mike
