Just saw a few postings in some Facebook groups that the new Jubilee will be out of Galveston in 2023. I've looked online but haven't seen anything "official". I guess they will replace the Vista with her..sounds like a lot of really large ships will be calling Galveston home soon!

Glad you found it. Made me go look. First JUBILEE was scrapped. They're reusing names,,,heheh We cruise out of Galveston and NOLA alot, and new ships mean new adventures, even tho its probably the same ol ports. VISTA isnt exactly small either at about 4k passengers.. All I know is they better get a serious move on that Port of Galveston construction project. Motel rooms that used to cost less than $100 on the island or nearby will triple....

Thanks, Yankee! I just saw that article myself and was coming back to update.. Not sure if I'd enjoy a super duper-sized ship, but I think I might need to start putting some pennies away to save up for a trip!

Thanks for sharing. Not sure I am a fan of this class of ship. Bigger isn’t always better. Glad Carnival is confident enough to keep growing.
