The balcony is huge (163 sq ft) with wonderful views and the bathroom set up seems a little better than the midship S1, but after being in the aft S1 for a few days, I think that I prefer the midship S1's and S2's (S2's are designated S2's because of their locations, but the same set up). I was spoiled by trying the other suite with the bed facing the ocean. When I walked in and saw the bed was against a side wall and no open mirror in the bathroom, I surprised myself by being disappointed. We have booked the S1 afts on S Class a few times and always enjoyed the huge balcony and wonderful views of the wake (and port and starboard views). The S1 afts were still a mystery (no one seemed to know) and I anxiously awaited the time when we walked into our S1 aft to find out. I visited an S3 on display that had the bed against a side wall with no opening mirror facing the ocean from the bathroom and was told all S3's would have that set up. I was told by the butler that all of the midship S1's and S2's had this design. It was midship so pretty easy to get to all venues - fairly close to the Retreat and Luminae. It had a private feel and great port side view. The veranda was quite roomy - ~ 75-80 sq ft (especially for the 3 pieces of ubiquitous furniture out there). Having the bed in the middle against the bathroom wall facing the ocean seemed to better give a sleep space and a living space. The closets were across from the entry - good-sized and easy to access. We enjoyed two nights in this well laid out suite with a wonderful view of the ocean from the bed and bathroom. The layout of this suite just felt right. Last week we were in an S1 midship (10147) and found a suite with the bed facing the ocean. The bed facing the ocean and window/mirror concepts were interesting to me though I felt would not be deal breakers, if they didn't turn out to be a reality. The other interesting concept for this suite was the mirror in the bathroom overlooking the bed that could be opened like a window to allow one to view the ocean while brushing teeth or showering. Whenever I spoke with anyone from X, they continued to say that all Sky Suite beds faced the ocean, but with those renditions out there it seemed doubtful. The initial renditions were confusing, some showing the bed facing the ocean and others showing the bed against a side wall. From the first day when Celebrity announced that all of the Sky Suites (146) would have a bed that faced the ocean and that they would be included in the Retreat experience, many sought to book these entry level suites. One of the big Edge questions has now been answered.
