It is known that a space $$X$$ is countably compact if and only if for every open cover $$\mathcal U$$, there is a finite subset $$F$$ of $$X$$ such that $$St(F,\mathcal U)=X$$. A space $$X$$ is absolutely countably compact (acc) provided that for every open cover $$\mathcal U$$ and dense subset $$D$$, there is a finite subset $$F$$ of $$D$$ such that $$St(F,\mathcal U)=X$$. Unlike countable compactness, the stronger acc property of $$X$$ is not preserved by taking a product of $$X$$ with a compact space. In this paper, sufficient conditions are given for such a product with a compact space to be acc. The main result is that if $$Y$$ is a compact sequential $$T_2$$-space and $$X$$ is an acc $$T_3$$-space then $$X\times Y$$ is acc. It also follows from a related result that every countably compact GO-space is acc.
