Sorry about the typos..........I was in a hurry to comment.

When we have had a suite....it was because we could snare an aft corner suite............we done those mid-ships and would still rather have an aft cabin which are usually concierge. Good reason to book early on a cruise you know you want. But we lovedour aft corner suite sailing the Sat. after turkey day.  Great Butler, views and super quiet. Yes, it is a long walk to elevators but that justifies (or not) a dessert in Luminae...ha ha. Met some super people in the special cocktail hour (in Retreat), dinner in Luminae and no worries about bar tabs. Worth every penny to us. Cruises are for not paying attention to stuff like that........

Looking forward to more......we are sailing on the 30th and we have an aft SS but on deck 6. Never been that low on the ship before but it was the only aft SS left. Since you haven't mentioned anything, I take it you had smooth seas to Key West.  Keep up the terrific commentary.....it is appreciated.  And, Happy Honeymoon.........what a great way to spend it.

We just cruised in September, and Luminae was wonderful. Both food and service were excellent. We were on the Summit, I hope your experience on the Eclipse is wonderful too.  

Question about men's dress code in Luminae...we live in Sarasota, FLA so the number of "long sleeved"shirts my husband owns is limited.....if they are NICE sport shirts, were men in short sleeved ones.  Even the finest restaurants here would never required long sleeves.....and many do require sport jackets but with a long sleeved shirt as well, it could be unbearable in the humidity. We are looking forward to Luminae (on Equinox )as it has so many great reviews. 

Hey Lurker, we are on your sailing....it is my birthday....and we are in a JS but on deck 8...your cabin was already gone :( No phone call here yet..........I looked and they had about 8 GS available earlier in week, but not sure I want to be up front....we love aft cabins!!! Hope to catch ya onboard.

Sorry, forgot to mention it was BIG and the double closet and WAY bigger drawers and storage.......that made it so much better than a standard 194 sq ft. cabin.:eek:

We got off Solstice last Sunday......March 25th. Had switched to a W suite (not specified handicapped) and we ended up with cabin #2148....and aft S2 with fabulous butler Nito, large covered balcony..................it was the BEST cabin ever and we loved it. We also visited an accessible cabin (also booked as a guarantee) by another member of CC group....think it was #2134. Other than the differences in the bathroom (handicapped shower and higher potty)...it was a huge and nice bathroom. They had a couple kids with them and loved it. Large balcony.

Would we try this again....in a heartbeat. The upgrade was very inexpensive (we orginally had a CC2 cabin)...and made up the difference. Got $80 credit for specialty restaurant, dined in Blu one night (fabulous), and had a huge cheese platter and other desserts and canapes daily. Hubby had shoes shined a couple times, and the butler arranged for everything we wanted...dinner reservations, shore excursions, etc.

We will have trouble going back to a "regular" CC or Aqua cabin!!! Go for it.
