Thanks so much! My husband has been having some health issues and I’ve had to work at my “day job” much more on top of that, so I had to stop working on my TH-cam channel for awhile; slowly finding the time and mental space to return.
Our room is 9303 which is 3 rooms to the left (forward). From your balcony pro/con section picture it looks like the white awning may end and not be under that room. Do you think this is correct? I am worried about the noise with three little kids though. My other option for 5 people was on the other side above chi bang with a smaller balcony and a white awning. Can you give your opinion on what I should pick?
Yes, your room should clear the awning ,and the noise will be less there, since you’ll be further awy from the Havana Bar. Hard for me to say which you should pick, as I’ve not stayed in the location above Chi Bang. Hope someone else can chime in who has stayed in that location
Thanks Marcus! I would have LOVED to have had this room on my long South America and Antarctica cruise! Its a shame that most of these Ocean Suites on the Excel class ships do almost exclusively 7 day Caribbean cruises.
Thank you Dee for another fantastic video! I’ll be cruising on an Ocean Suite Deck 9 in the Mardi Gras in a few months. Any big difference between Jubilee and Mardi Gras?
You are very welcome! The ships are very similar; I think the big difference is in the vibe of the ships. I do enjoy the New Orleans vibe on Mardi Gras, in contrast to the lighthearted under-the-sea vibe of Jubilee. Couple of layout differences, such as Emeril’s. The Ocean Suites are very much the same with just a bit of tweaked decor. I always feel at home in one when I’m in one on an Excel class ship!
@@edwinojedis Ah you will love it! Be sure to visit the Brass Magnolia, where you can sit at the bar, have a New Orleans style drink, and listen to live music. Great place to soak up that New Orleans vibe!
This was my big concern after watching the video, as I’ll be next door to this room in a few weeks. Glad it’s not too close to the smoking area, even if I will have that big white awning.
Hi Dee! Such a good review. Your content is SO good!

You presentation is impeccable and very detailed, thanks a million.
Thank you so much! I am glad it was helpful for you!
Ocean Suite, yes or no? Is it worth the extra money to stay in one for you?
Ocean suite, yes, on carnival, no lol

Do you know if the white awning is on 9304? That’s the room they gave me and I don’t really like it ugh
I mean 9305 ** I got room 9305
The room looks great! I would consider if I was cruising longer than 7 days. Great Video as always ✌️-Marcus

I going to be one of these on jubilee I hope I enjoy it
Did you add Command Wall Hooks or are all of those hooks already there?
Some of the hooks were there (the ones by the bathrooom) and we added additional ones! Always bring extra hooks for hats, lanyards, etc.
Yes

Thank you for your excellent insight as always! Greatly appreciated! I’m a New Orleans nut myself! So super excited!

Thank you for such a great room tour!
You are welcome!
Was 9309 far enough away from the midship smoking area?
Yes! Nowhere near it!!
What about 9284
What about room 9301 ?
This was my big concern after watching the video, as I’ll be next door to this room in a few weeks. Glad it’s not too close to the smoking area, even if I will have that big white awning.
