ES1 versus ES2

[Hunding]

My apologies, I'm sure this has been addressed before on this Forum, but I have been unable to find it.  Might there be someone who can articulate the differences between an ES2 and ES1, aside from one being forward, the other aft (with a so-called 'wrap-around' balcony) - and, if by chance you've had experience with both, which did you prefer?  Is it true that the ES1 has only a side balcony, not a regular (or 'full' balcony) facing forward?  I confess I am not good at 'reading' the plans nor even the homemade videos I have seen.

Thanks.

Loved the Explorer on the aft for 23 days. For us there is nothing like the wake view.

We saw the front Explorer suites on one of our turnover days and would always prefer the rear.

I know it’s a matter of opinion but you’ll like the ship whichever you choose.
