I've never had an opportunity to sail on a pre-inaugural cruise without at least a few hundred other passengers. My voyage on Carnival Jubilee was truly a test run, and it was fascinating to see the crew in action as the last-minute details came together seamlessly. Because there were no passengers, their responsibilities turned to readying the vessel. That meant I was able to see them more relaxed as they worked on nailing every last detail before the big first sailing.

View Carnival's cruise ship staterooms, including suites, balconies, oceanviews and interior staterooms. Plus, Cloud 9 Balconies bring health and wellness to your room. Only on Carnival, guests can enjoy the rush of a roller coaster paired with the freedom of the open seas! Hop in line for the BOLT coaster for twists, turns and hanging off the edge of the ship for the ultimate adrenaline rush on Carnival Jubilee. When cruise ships are in Texas waters, the onboard bars are only allowed to serve alcohol that was obtained in Texas. That means the types of alcohol available could be limited when Carnival Jubilee (or any other ship) is in port.
CLOUD 9 SPA
This is open to all guests and features Cuban cocktails, coffee, and soda as well as live music many evenings. Rudi's Seagrill is another fleet-first dining venue (seafood restaurant by Rudi Sodamin / Holland America Line's Master Chef). Rudi's Seagrill is a specialty restaurant (at surcharge / reservation fee) located on Deck 8 (between Summer Landing and The Shores) with indoor (80 seats) and outdoor seating (al fresco dining on The Lanai).
THE ULTIMATE PLAYGROUND
Havana Cabana cabins have private outdoor patio areas that are similar to balconies but instead of having views of the ocean, they face a public walkway in front of the ocean. These cabins have a nautical flag motif and include one free Night Owls evening at Camp Ocean. The Family Harbor Lounge includes breakfast, snacks, movies, and games.
As such, we highly recommend treating yourself to a transpacific or transatlantic cruise this year! Hop on a transatlantic cruise to discover the allure of romantic Italy, the rich history of Spain, the volcanic wonders of the Azores and so much more. Like most large-sized newbuilds, the new Carnival Jubilee is LNG-powered, with 4x Caterpillar Marine LNG engines (model MaK 16M-46DF) generating combined output 57,2 MW. The propulsion system is based on two Azimuting thrusters with combined power output 37 MW.
The vessel's name (Carnival Jubilee), IMO number ( ) and homeport (Galveston TX) were officially announced on November 11, 2021, by Christine Duffy (CCL's President). On June 23, 2021, CCL-Carnival announced plans to add two additional ships to its fleet by 2023. The vessels included an EXCEL-class unit (Carnival Jubilee/2023-built) and Costa Magica (2004-built/joins CCL in 2022-H1). From Galveston Carnival offers cruises to the Eastern and Western Caribbean, visiting ports in Bahamas (Nassau, Freeport, Half Moon Cay), Florida (Key West), Mexico (Cozumel, Costa Maya), Honduras (Roatan), Belize City. A signature outdoor fun facility is the ropes course SkyCourse (length 600 ft / 183 m). SkyCourse is part of the SportSquare (sports complex) with an indoor hangout, mini-bowling, mini-golf course, The Clubhouse, Ping-Pong area with tables, jogging track, interactive sports gaming, arcade basketball.
BBQ, so we're building a Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse into this zone so it always tastes like summer here with freshly-smoked faves designed by Guy Fieri and original Parched Pig® beers brewed just feet away. If you're wondering where the pool and whirlpool are, we're so alike, you and us... And that's why we're sure you're gonna love The Watering Hole, a poolside bar we're building for aficionados of backyard-style relaxation. And for military folks — or folks who just want to raise a glass to them — please report to Heroes Tribute™ Lounge for great service. We know you guys like soft serve too, so we're throwing in a Swirls™ location — one of two! At Summer Landing, fun this cool is literally always in season.
Oceanview (6S)
There’s even a Carnival-exclusive bear and a St. Jude bear that benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Passengers can join in on the action with Family Feud Live and Deal or No Deal — both high-energy game shows where guests can win real prizes. Don’t miss the Sailaway Party and the Groove for St. Jude party. The Love & Marriage Show, which three couples from the audience participate in, is a riot and a highlight of any Carnival cruise. At the Alchemy Bar, passengers can sign up for the Martini Tasting, where bartenders (referred to as “alchemists”) take guests through a flight of mini Martinis of their choice.
Location of Guy's Burger Joint
For starters, Coastal Slice™ is the hotspot for fresh pizza that can only be topped… by delicious toppings. Marina Bar™ is an indoor/outdoor spot where the drinks are only part of the refreshment story — there’s also some great lounging to do! And if we catch you feasting your eyes on our Beach Buns™, c’mon, who can blame you? It’s a fabulous way to enjoy delicious sandwiches made how you like, or even a just-got-grilled hot dog.
They include two twin beds that can convert to a king, with some able to sleep up to four guests. We’ve taken the vast world that exists underneath the waves as the inspiration for Currents™… but why limit your imagination to what’s real? Let the fantastical world of sunken cities, mermaids and sea monsters swirl around your mind as you enjoy new bars, dining spots and live music venues that carry this vibe. This space has good looks, but you can’t miss the innovative tech packed into the zone!

If you're loyal to a particular brand of vodka, for example, you might have to switch things up and try some Tito's if you're hankering for a tipple before you set sail. Because Carnival Jubilee's homeport is in Galveston, you'll find nods to the Lone Star State throughout the ship, including on the ship's hull where there's a star — something no other vessel in the fleet has. Another offering is the tailgate party with games, dancing and prizes, where passengers can pretend they're getting ready to cheer on the fictitious Carnival University football team. It's kitschy but classy in the most unexpected and delightful ways. In a unique twist, the Carnival Panorama is set to offer two transpacific itineraries in 2024. Sailing to and from the ship’s homeport in Long Beach, the month-long cruises link California to Asia via Japan, Southeast Asia, Alaska and Hawaii.
There’s also We Are One which features above-the-crowd acrobatics; Soulbound featuring spooky R&B tunes; and the special effects-loaded Visual Symphony. On every Carnival cruise, the cruise director hosts a Military Appreciation Gathering for military members, veterans, and any other guests who want to attend. Every brand of the military is recognized, with special recognition going out to the longest-serving military member in the room.
Somebody at Carnival knows just what you need, and it's pretty much exactly the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™. Look, you'll still be on the same ship as the kids, the hoopla, and all the Carnival-style excitement... But you could easily forget, because when you're at Serenity you could not be further from it all. The world you'll find yourself in is one of complete peace, sea breezes and, of course, a nearby bar. It's the place to get done the kind of stuff you just can't seem to do anywhere else — reconnect with your partner, finish that book, or do absolutely, blissfully, nothing at all. The Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea event allows kids to build their own stuffed animal and add clothes and accessories.
The vessel's construction officially started on March 18, 2022, with the steel-cutting ceremony held at the Papenberg shipyard. The special event was attended by Christine Duffy (CCL's President) and Jan Meyer (Meyer Werft GmbH's Managing Director). Carnival Jubilee cruises were open for booking on January 25, 2021. Carnival Jubilee's Currents Zone is underwater-themed and provides a submarine-like experience.
For any cruises listed, Cruise Critic does not guarantee any specific rates or prices. Starting in December 2023, Carnival Jubilee will sail year-round western Caribbean voyages from Galveston, Texas. The seven-night voyages will consist of three sea days along with calls to Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico and Roatán, Honduras. The ship features an uninterrupted jogging track as well as a fitness center with the usual machines and equipment you’d find in a gym on land.
