Carnival Jubilee Cruise | My first (and possibly last) time on an XL class ship! May 4-11, 2024 

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much for representing our brand and congratulations on your retirement 🎉

Yay for the cruise vlogs 🎉

Thanks for talking us along on your experience of the Jubilee. Looking forward to trying it out soon. 🤘🏾🔵⚪️

Congratulations on your retirement ceremony!! I know this will be entertaining from our chat. Can't wait to watch!!

Totally agree with you ~ we were on this cruise last week. It was the first time I’ve ever been ready to get off a ship & I’m 70 years old ~ we cruise quite often ~ but never again on Jubilee!

Great share!! We board this ship next month!! lol, I'm old and retired so I might enjoy this ship!! New sub here.

Not me going on a solo cruise in a few weeks and going to your YT to get some tips bc I know you were going to give the real real! Always enjoy your vids sis!

I was on the same cruise as you. It was also my first Excel ship and my first platinum cruise. I agree with a lot of your pros and cons. The most frustrating for me was the elevators. I did not go to the platinum party because i had previously heard there was a one drink limit.

Great video. Just got back from this ship. I sailed June 1-8 . It has its pros and cons. I guess because school was out it was more younger adults and kids on this sailing. I like seeing the brand new shows they have because the older ships have worn those old shows out. The bathrooms are super tiny. I don’t hang out at the bars but the night club played up to date songs and was a vibe especially if they put on Tamia IYKYK. I agree when they delivered that Diamond/Platinum invite I was like what the what. Overall I enjoyed the new look of the ship and would sail her again but hate that it only stops at the same 3 ports that you’ve been to a gazillion times.

Sorry you didn’t enjoy the older crowd, i’m a new cruiser in my early 60’s , and that comment actually made me very happy . My plan for drinks is just to just buy my own bottle, prep in the room, before I head out . Thanx for your review

Nice we did this same itinerary, but we were on Mardi Gras. Around the same time last year. It was way too much seaweed for me at Costa Maya and Cozumel but over all I enjoyed. Glad they finally play Tamia cause we don’t get that but once at the club.

Mama is absolutely Beautiful ❤

Going on cruise for the first time In September so was interested in review of Jubilee. I have a suggestion! I think a great vacation for you would be at the liquor store!! SMH

We went on the Dream in 2022 which is a smaller ship and some things that you noticed on the Jubilee like having to wait at the art auction for free champagne were also the case. We sail on the Breeze soon than the Jubilee so I’m curious to see if I notice the differences in class. I like more layer back but I have 2 young adults that look for a little more fun. Carnival usually offers balance. I hope they don’t loose that with the excel class.

Is the biggest perk about being platinum member alcohol, I noticed you mentioned the number of drinks a lot?

Nice we did this same itinerary, but we was on Mardi Gras. It was way too much seaweed for me at Costa Maya and Cozumel but over all I enjoyed. Awesome we had Kyndall Fire as well loved all the shows. 😂😂😂

Keisha This is a person from so you think you can dance on fox season 9 With the stage name of Mr. Wiggles

naw the host for love n marriage was hilarious lmaooo.. i cant wait to sail the horizon to see it

I wonder if timing was the issue. We did a B2B on Celebration on May 18 & May 26 and the ship was a COMPLETELY different vibe from one week to the next. It was definitely more live on the second part.

Where you get that USAF retired shirt from?

I was on the same cruise for our FamCation 2024. 1st time on an XL ship for us too. Definitely a different feel. I'll try again just to confirm my thoughts. It was a beautiful ship though. Bathrooms extremely too small and they need to figure out a better system for the elevators.

Great video. I agree with you. I was on the Jubilee the same time as you(May 4th) I thought the staff were burnt out and cranky. I didn’t like the vibe on this ship either. Too laid back. I’m in my 60’s and I like more of a party atmosphere. Lastly I thought the port of Galveston was not very appealing. I’ll only be cruising out of Florida preferably on the Celebration. I liked that ship way more.

How did you get away with sharing the drink package?

How did you get to share the cheer package ?

I will be on the Jubilee soon. I pray my group of 52 family members can liven things up. Sad to hear about your experience... off topic, but have you heard of or been to the Trinidad Carnival Festival? It was one of the greatest experiences for me. You and your company seem like you may enjoy that type of event. I did a video about it on my channel.

Thank you for your service HUA

Cool video. Kyndal Fire is great! But mind you, I paid $3K to sail on the Jubilee. And I was happy to pay that because I knew full well, that price of admission would exclude certain cruisers. I believe that the Breeze or similar is what you are searching for. The price is right and the crowd is reflective of that. For the record, Royal Caribbean has been described as a Huge Chuckee Cheese on the Water. But folks with families know exactly what they are getting, safe travels for their family and they are willing to pay a premium (Icon of the Seas) But I believe there are different levels to this, so it's important to pick a level that suits you. Loud Crowds or Laid Back Seasoned Citizens 🫡

Hey Keisha 💕😍😍😍😘😘❤️❤️

I was on the ship with you on same date

Relax, Relate, Release…..Whitley (A Different World) 😂

So, in other words...Overrated so to speak...The last time we took a Carnival cruise, We didn't enjoy it either, it wasn't the fun ship anymore almost boring to be honest and this was before covid ➕️ my husband and I had been on quite a few cruises but that cruise was like a floating hotel with minimal amenities...And that cruises wasn't XL and the staff was was very limited then...Thanks for the heads up because we're taking a cruise next year in April and was thinking about taking the Jubilee...Honestly we was so disappointed on our last carnival cruise until we decided to try another cruise line I think this is our confirmation to go with another cruise line...We only chose carnival because of the fun, amenities, and the treatment...Carniva was so fun on our past cruises, and we are platinum as well

I was on this same cruise for my birthday! And I went to Mr. Sancho’s too! If you saw the lady that got washed out by the waves and had to be picked up by two men, that was me 😂I’m platinum status too and I always look forward to the free drinks at the platinum party. I didn’t even go this time! I did love the ship, but that tiny bathroom 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m older (in age, not my mind) and retired. I found this cruise very dull, especially during the day. The lido deck was always a snooze fest lol. There was only stuff for little kids like the tail gate stuff, racing on stick horses. We were so bored. What happened to the dance/modeling contests, the conga lines? I guess I gotta go back to sailing out of New Orleans to have some kind of fun! Do you think this is just on the XL class, or is this something new? I was just on the Valor this past New Years Eve and it was fun during the day! Will I go on the Jubilee again? Maybe with the right offer, like a free balcony! I’m a travel agent and I’ll think twice about booking people on this ship especially first time cruisers. We did enjoy the food, the deli, Emerils, Teppanyaki grill, the steakhouse and the main dining room, all were good. We were disappointed in the food for sea day brunch it wasn’t good. We had a large group and had anytime dining. There was never a long wait. I enjoyed your video, great job! Happy cruising!

Went on this cruise in February and it was my least favorite of 15 cruises.

Where is the jet skiing?

Hi are you retired from work are Cruise 🚢 look like you had a Blast 💥.

You look too young to retire.

🤎🤎🤎 looked like amazing time .. and carnival need to stop being so cheap and give their repetitive cruisers more for their money.. one glass of wine aint going to cut it lol and is this ship bigger than the celebration
