Marella Voyager Cruise - I was upgraded to the St Lucia Suite

[@Mandyjj2972]

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

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Awesome having a binge watch on the tele

[@awaywithpaul3423]

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 🎉

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Yes if you like your cabin space on cruises, it’s a great one

[@raydesborough7333]

That’s great. We have done 35 cruises and have never had an upgrade.😢

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Oh wow! Even before I was a blogger we used to get upgrades on various cruise lines now and then

[@simondavey7787]

What an awesome upgrade, but well deserved. Love that you have a Christmas tree!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

That’s a first for me 😂

[@byllig]

oh my gosh that looks fabulous........what a wonderful space......thumbs up from me even if the pool deck is above!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It really is!

[@barbaraoreilly5456]

Cane Garden Bay 🥰🥰🥰 YES. My sister and I were there 13 years ago on The Black Watch from Southampton. FABULOUS and never to be forgotten. Thank you Jamie for your vlog. You deserve a Suite 100%. X

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@janerees8990]

That is fabulous Jamie. Great presentation as always- very interesting and informative. Lovely spacious suite. What an experience! Well deserved :)

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you 🙏

[@clodia941]

Wow what a lovely suite! Enjoyed both vlogs. Never tried Marella but having seen these I wouldn't mind.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

You never know until you try these things

[@scottycat6822]

Fabulous upgrade thanks for showing us around the suite it looks amazing. Merry Christmas to you and Matthew.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Happy Christmas to you 🙏

[@herenow6953]

What a fantastic Christmas present for you Jamie - and what a cabin! That's enormous! Enjoy!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Happy Christmas to you 🎄

[@Lorna.R]

This is the nicest suite I’ve seen. Loved the theming! 🏝️ and of course loved the Xmas tree 🎄 x

[@TravelBlogJamie]

The Christmas tree has my heart 😂

[@GillianCarton-rd1wo]

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😊

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you so much and happy Christmas

[@KateS1172]

Oh my goodness… what a beautiful suite!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It was gorgeous

[@Linleys]

Wow Jamie! What an amazing cabin! I love the layout and space. For a longer cruise I would love such a cabin if I could afford it. Thank you for the review :)

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Always welcome ❤️

[@alywax_fan1555]

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.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Hopefully the ‘full’ experience vlogs will help you make your mind up?

[@MKrail-w3y]

Wow, what a beautiful suite. Well deserved Jamie😊

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@CruiseLife22]

Hi Jamie 🖐 That suite is Massive!! Very nice tour also! If we get to sail this ship, I will definately check out this suite. Have a great Christmas. Pete & Lisa

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Happy Christmas to you ❤️

[@CarolineSugden]

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 🙏🏼

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you so much and welcome on board good ship Jamie!

[@dominicedwards9117]

Good post, thanks

[@SherylMottram]

What a lovely cabin well deserved upgrade xx

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It really is!

[@tonywaldock4088]

Amazing cabin lucky you 🎉

[@TravelBlogJamie]

🥂🥂🥂

[@andy_s87]

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

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It’s always worth asking (I just never have asked)

[@lisalp2963]

A well-deserved upgrade. Really enjoyed the tour & I hope you had an amazing time! It'd be hard not to in that suite 😂

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It was an awesome trip thank you 🙏

[@scruff520]

Yes totally agree regarding your upgrade, its in there favour as they know all throughout the years you have been reviewing there product. Also you deserve a cheeky upgrade, you show case the cabins brilliantly. Great video Jamie 👍 x

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@jackieaudus9829]

Wonderful upgrade 😊

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It really is!

[@jamie692]

Think that your Christmas president and have good new year Jamie

[@TravelBlogJamie]

🙌

[@stephenm8818]

Definitely bettererrr ! Are you still just doing everything on your iPhone Jamie ? Not even an ipad for editing? Fab images whatever the device !! Congrats on the operation of the coffee machine ! 😅🎉

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Everything on iPhone - literally everything ❤️

[@stephenm8818]

@TravelBlogJamie And yet you think of yourself as a technophobe ! 👏👏👏

[@TravelBlogJamie]

@ I am! That’s why everything is done on my iPhone lol 😂

[@stephenm8818]

@TravelBlogJamie Yeah but what you produce is so good ! So you just carry on being that technophobe !! 👏👏👏

[@TravelBlogJamie]

@ I absolutely will 😂 I’m good at one thing and will stick to it 😂

[@stephenm8818]

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]

Oh good luck with the other cabins in that case!

[@stephenm8818]

@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 !! 😂

[@TravelBlogJamie]

@ oh this does not compute

[@stephenm8818]

@@TravelBlogJamie Sorry 😂😵‍💫, each to their own !!

[@imnotbeingfunnybut9448]

Looks like it’s a good upgrade

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Veeery good!

[@journeyswithj246]

A beautiful suite.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

💯

[@cynthiastuart6447]

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 🙂.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thank you so much lovely lady

[@markt9805]

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.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Luckily I’ve got loads of vlogs on those cabins

[@OhioticketswithRobert]

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]

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

[@OhioticketswithRobert]

@TravelBlogJamie I would have to leave a light on so I wouldn't hit in the night. Enjoying the videos and have a wonderful day.

[@Didderly]

I have done over 40 cruises with Marella /Thomson and have never ever offered an upgrade. Maybe it's because i am not a vlog/blog ....er...

[@TravelBlogJamie]

That’s exactly what I’d say too

[@paulmorris3022]

Hi Jamie, Wow that suite is definitely different to the inside cabin. With all the hard work you put in and the coverage of these ships, you deserve the upgrade. Brilliant vlog as always

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Thanks so much!

[@barrygray5236]

Jammy Jamie !

[@TravelBlogJamie]

👀

[@henryv3943]

Naah id of kept the cabin with the dancing pole

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Of course you would 😂

[@lisalp2963]

Fabulous 👌 ❤

[@TravelBlogJamie]

I hope you enjoy it

[@marialukutina5914]

This suite is bigger than my flat 😮😂

[@TravelBlogJamie]

It’s a big one!

[@Mezmo1975]

Yep someone's totally realised who you are and done some damage control after putting you in the pole room

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Although i reviewed that cabin very favourably as you’ll have seen

[@susansutton6619]

They wouldn’t want to “draw attention to those pole cabins”!

[@TravelBlogJamie]

@ I’d already posted about it on social media before the upgrade and made a favourable video about it 🤔

[@TheSpanishChannel]

🎉🎉🎉

[@TravelBlogJamie]

❤

[@Throngowman]

That suite looks absolutely lovely! 😎👍 My only minor criticism is I feel the mini bar should be free/included to restock for the suite.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Yes I think so too

[@Nozanne123]

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Reeeeeeet posh 😂
