    Bit late catching up so this weekend whilst cat sitting at our daughters we've binged a few as Andys full of cold!
    This suite is lovely. You deserve it x

    Great video! I’ve wondered about a suite for a special treat and they look incredible. I spend a lot of time in the cabin/on the balcony so would be a worthwhile investment. Love Marella cruises: great itineraries, amazing staff and not many sea days. Happy Christmas 🎉

    Jamie, I totally agree with your comments regarding your upgrade. As Marella doesn't have a loyalty programme, you are not being rewarded for all your repeat business. I think someone has looked at all your excellent content and quite rightly rewarded you. Marella is the only cruise line we use because I like the smaller ships and the itineraries and excellent. Hope you and Matthew are having a great trip and looking forward to lots more great videos in 2025😊

    Wowzers what an upgrade and why shouldn’t u get one?? For all the good advice and work you do I think its well deserved. Those that think otherwise are just jealous.
    Hadnt even thought about marella but this has changed our minds. We only get to have one holiday a year so want to make sure we get it right. We 100% trust your opinions.

    Wow Jamie, I’ve only just subscribed to your channel but have followed your recent cruise with your beautiful photos which made me want to follow you! Thank you for the effort and content you provide, enabling us to make notes and look forward to our own experiences - I cannot wait! Your suite was well deserved but now I’m extremely envious! We’ve always had an outside cabin but would live to experience a balcony one day 🙏🏼
    Thank you again 🙏🏼

    I deffo think the magnets with your youtube handle on there might of contributed to you being known by the staff onboard :) i mean hey well done. Just goes to show that some of the top cabins dont get booked so might always be worth asking at reception if there are any unsold cabins when you board and if you can upgrade?? and possibly for free? :p

    Apologies in advance. My initial thoughts of the suite were "really nice" but on sharing the vlog with my lovely wife, her immediate response has swayed me in her direction !! It was " that's looks like it was decorated by Only Fools' Del Boy" 😅

      @TravelBlogJamie funnily enough, she's fine with the older RCL cabins on Disco/Disco 2 but it was the cupboards/drawers/flooring/carpets and that head bangin' head board that set her off on one !! 😂

    What a marvelous suite - I could live in it full time and be very happy! I am thrilled that Marella gave you such a wonderful upgrade. You work soooooooo hard to keep your followers in the know and entertained that you more than deserve perks like this when they come around. Plus, it's a very plush workspace for editing 🙂.

  • @markt9805
    @markt9805 17 днів тому +1

    Jaime it’s obvious Marella wants you to not only be comfortable but also to show off the suite. Unfortunately, most passengers cannot afford to pay for a suite and will be in regular balcony, window, or inside cabins.

    How can they sell a room with a pole in it? I understand blocked view of balcony because of lifeboat. But a pole in room?

    • @TravelBlogJamie
      @TravelBlogJamie  15 днів тому +1

      I don’t see the problem having these cabins for solo passengers - they are much bigger than many single cabins on other cruise lines
