14 things I LOVED and HATED about Carnival Jubilee new cruise ship

They say everything’s bigger in Texas - and that’s certainly the case for the newest cruise ship in town, Carnival Cruise Line's Carnival Jubilee!
As the sister-ship to Carnival Celebration and Mardi Gras, the glamorous Carnival Jubilee made her eagerly-anticipated debut in December 2023. She is the third cruise ship to be built in Carnival’s ground-breaking Excel Class.
While there are many things to love about this cutting-edge cruise ship, not everything was a slam-dunk for me during my fun-filled spring break cruise on Carnival Jubilee. Here are 14 things that I loved and hated about Carnival Jubilee.

    Girllll you went during Spring Break. You knew the crowd was coming lol I saw later in the vid that you didn't realize you went during Spring Break. That is a tough break but glad you still had a great time.

    It was early March, so I didn't realize spring break would be that early!! Still had fun though!!

    If you are like us and not a fan of the younger crowd (I’m old), don’t go during spring break or summer. Winter months and early fall is the best times, the waters at the ports are still warm and beautiful to swim or relax.

    Some people would gripe if their ice cream was too cold. This chick is no exception 😂😂😂 It’s nice that she found plenty of positive things to rave about. 👍👍 We almost never had to wait in line for Java Blue because we get our butts out of bed pretty early 🤣🤣🤣

    Agree about the center stage layout. On the Mardi Gras you have there at least 30 minutes before the shows.

    I am glad that I have already cruised on the Jubilee and have 2 more cruises scheduled on her this year. I think my husband and I only experienced a long line 1 time at Beach Buns. Not a big issue for us we just chatted with other guest in line.

    On our cruise on the Mardi Gras< we had the cove balcony and mother had interior room... The interior room was always much cooler! I think in general, the interior rooms stay cooler, maybe because no windows with natural heat/sun getting in

    I cruised the Celebration last May. The buffet was extremely underwhelming, I strongly agree with you. Some of the restaurants you mentioned were very good, especially the Steak house. The shows and comedy shows were very good. I'm cruising the Mardi Gras in July, hope their buffet is better. Fingers crossed.

    I will be cruising this ship in March 2025. I also live in Florida, but we will be driving to Lake Charles, LA the day before and spend the night. We will then just drive to Galveston the next morning and park there.

    Totally agree with Lido buffet. Only thing I liked in the buffet was the Mongolian Wok. Not sure if Jubilee has that? Will be sailing on her this Dec 2024!

    I've been on the Celebration and I did love it. I'm going on the Jubilee this Aug. 17-24. We got a great deal on a Havana room, and I'm excited. I wanted to see if there was any BIG differences with the cruises. I did wonder about getting to Galveston, but you answered that. This time I do plan on flying in the same day (never have done this before), we have a early flight and I don't anticipate anything going wrong...but it does have me a little nervous. So which ship do you prefer the Jubilee or Celebration?

    We also cruised during Spring Break (on the Mardi Gras) and doubt we will make that mistake again. Lines for everything, and we could never find seats for the production shows on Center Stage even though we arrived 30-40 minutes prior to showtime. For the same reason, we never got into one of the comedy clubs and were only able to get into the piano bar one time. I'm not sure whether I should blame these problems on Carnival or just choosing the wrong week to cruise. Another complaint was the buffet, with very limited choices and long lines. We discovered that breakfast in the MDR was much more pleasant. We also loved Big Chicken and guy's Burgers, and our grandkids enjoyed the water slides and the roller coaster. We might try the Mardi gras or the Jubilee again, but not during Spring Break.

    No shade, but it sounds like you could have fixed your own problems with travel time and spring break crowds. I don't see how either of those has anything to do with any particular ship. I appreciate your video and agree about those windows and that the Lido buffet is weak.
