Review summary

Wonderful cruise! The layout is the same on Jubilee. I’ll be trying Mardi Gras soon. Going backwards from newest to oldest of the XLs. So far so great!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had FTF so embarkation was smooth. By the time we walked up FTF had already been called so we walked right on.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
I’m really not enjoying the changed menus. There were days when nothing was appealing. Additionally the food was subpar in flavor.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The activities were great. There was only one issue. The Motown trivia is VERY popular on all ships. It brings in a lot of passengers. The Celebration decided to put this activity in a very small room, the Havana bar, so the crowd spilled out of that space. They really need to consider using a larger area for this popular activity.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment was exceptional. I really hope they push the productions to the non XL ships.
