Thank you for this most entertaining review! I really enjoyed it. We did a B2B on Celebration in Jan. and are heading out again in Sept. for an ABC cruise. 👍🥰

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, happy to hear you enjoyed our adventure! I’m jealous you get to do the ABC cruise, that was my first choice but my casino offer didn’t include the 8 day cruises. Have a wonderful time! 😎🛳️😎

When you have a casino drink on us card.  I always get two bottles of water before I leave the casino to bring back to the room. 

I have Drinks On Us Everywhere so can get water at the bars too but I started ordering two 12 packs of the water for our room every cruise. I could never remember to get the waters with my drinks, Senior brain I guess.😜 We go through at lot of water so I do remember to get the two free large bottles for being Gold or Platinum. You need to stay hydrated for sure!

Thanks, I know we'll have a great time! I was just browsing cruises and saw this ABC one and knew I had to get it booked immediately! 😀

 Loved your review - I was on the Celebration  in Oct 23- loved it- your hubby reminds me of my dad, dad  never helped plan a trip or pack- mom asked him to help pack once- he brought her a tie and tie clasp!!!  I'm also staying at the JW MARRIOT MARQUIS before my cruise in Oct 24- 

Thank you and I am happy you enjoyed reading it! He never asks me about our travel plans and usually just tunes me out when I talk about them. I do plan around things I know he does and doesn’t want to do, after 48 years we know each other pretty well. 😜 He does pack for himself now and I am no longer picky about what he packs, at 70 he can wear whatever the heck it wants! You will love the JW Marquis! We arrived exhausted and then were completely worn out from the heat so didn’t get to enjoy it as much as I would have liked. I definitely need a do over!

First, DO NOT cancel the Exel Aft suite, it’s such a special experience and gave us memories we will always treasure. It is a very romantic hideaway and yes, you can fill the tub with cold water. We never used the hot water and only used it during the day to cool off while sunning ourselves on the balcony. You can turn on the jets and bubbles which makes it even more refreshing and there is room for two. We planned to use it at night also as a hot tub but never got around to it. The tub is fully covered so there are no issues when they wash the lido deck at night. The problem with the deck washing only affects the 15th deck and maybe slightly for the 14th deck. 
 

We used our balcony all day on the sea days and all afternoon on the port days. All three sail ins and sail aways were amazing! Add in the spaciousness of the suite, the OMG shower and the personal dining reservation service from Zoey and I don’t see how you can beat it. If you enjoyed the Havana area on the Mardi Gras I highly recommend a Havana cabin on the Vista, Horizon or Panorama. The Havana area on those ships is fabulous with a good sized pool, two huge hot tubs and a lot of loungers and outdoor seating. We have done the Vista and Panorama and will be on the Horizon for a B2B in April. Have a wonderful cruise, I know you are going to enjoy that suite! 

 

 

 

Thanks for the feedback!  We decided to keep the suite.  You only live once right?!

Yes! Life is best lived collecting beautiful memories with loved ones. ❤️❤️ The older you get the more you realize it is true. After I booked the upgrade I did have some second thoughts and worried I would regret spending the extra $3000. I decided that was nothing compared to the regret I would feel for missing the opportunity to experience the suite of my dreams. Believe me, we have no regrets! Enjoy every minute, especially the many hours you will spend on that fabulous balcony! 😎🛳️😎
