Forward facing penthouse vs courtyard penthouse

[keep on cruisin]

We are currently booked in a forward facing penthouse deck 12 on BA. I notice today a price drop on the courtyard penthouse to the same price we paid for the forward.

 

It is me, DE and DS. The space and the private bedroom definitely nice but is it worth the less space to actually be in the Haven?

Having separate rooms vs square footage is always a plus for us.

I would take the courtyard but I have no problem with extra people around me, (I usually travel with 4 other people) other people may feel differently

Thanks for the replies. I emailed my PCC to see if maybe I can get some OBC since our forward facing dropped $100 per person. Never hurts to ask. The worse they can do is say no.

I would definitly stick with the forward facing. It is at the front of the ship so the Haven is not far and I love the separate bedroom, I would pay more for the forward facing than the courtyard.

I also favor the forward facing penthouse. My kids were in a courtyard penthouse and my brother and his son were in the FF room in the summer of 2013 on the BA. I loved the FF penthouse! The courtyard penthouse was plenty nice but felt much smaller due to only being one room. Whatever you decide, have a great cruise!

Thank you everyone. As of right now I am going to stick with the forward facing. More room and more excercise to work off all the food.

We have booked a forward facing penthouse because it was cheaper and it's bigger.

 

Our first cruise on the Epic was in a spasuite (=outside the Haven) and that was not a problem for us. It was a short walk to the Haven but then we spent more time outside the Haven and that was nice too. We always walked over the public sundeck on our way to breakfast.

I am one to try to learn something new every day. So can you educate me on who a DE is?

We finally decided on the forward PH on the Getaway. Like you we went back and forth on which would be better. We want more space and being "in" the Haven was just not that important. We can visit it when we want but we also enjoy wandering the whole ship and people watching. When we want to relax and have some peaceful time we will retreat to the Haven.
