A: I sailed from Galveston on January 12th, at the start of this year. Flew in a day early and stayed at the Hilton Resort on Seawall Blvd. Despite the clear sunny skies, the strong ocean breeze made the air quite chilly. I flew in from Cincinnati so, i... t definitely felt warmer to me but swimming and sunbathing were out of the question. We needed jackets just to walk to dinner a couple of blocks away. Less wind or another 10 degrees warmer and it would have been comfortable and that was totally within the realm of possibility. It just didn’t happen during my brief stay. Wishing you warm weather and happy cruising!See More

A: I saw a photograph of one on the internet which had 25 cents per ounce on the screen. so that's about $3 for an equivalent of a can of Pepsi

A: We did Emeril's favorites on the Jubilee and had a blast! Definitely worth it and we both got a Carnival spatula!

A: We did the Pit Grill and Smoke class on the jubilee and found it fun and informative. It consisted of some class time, demos, mixing ingredients, cooking some dishes, touring the onboard smoking operation, and lunch. Afterwards, they emailed us a pdf... of the recipes we covered in the class. It was fun and informative. I would say that anyone who enjoys learning more about cooking will find some level of enjoyment from this experience. With that being said, comparing it to other out of pocket add ons, I would put the money toward specialty dining or a shore excursion before I chose to do this. If you’ve already checked those boxes, it’s a good value for the overall experience. Happy cruising!See More
Answered by HarryMess on July 26, 2024
A: we did. used the session as an introduction to Indian cuisine. lots of fun. learned a lot. you do get a clean spatula to keep. only you can decide if it is for you.

A: I always stay at The Tremont House but I’ve never used their shuttle before. I’ve had great experiences from The Tremont House for years. If you use their shuttle, I’m sure the experience will meet your expectations.
Answered by SweetLadyA on August 6, 2024
A: Both the Tremont and the San Luis are supposed to have shuttles, but at extra cost. Both are definitely upscale

Q: Thinking about sailing Carnival Jubilee in November and we always get the drink package. I saw on YouTube video that because of Texas laws, the drink package does not start until the 2nd day of the cruise. Is this accurate?? If so, we will only be charged for 6 days then??

A: You only are charged on Carnival for the number of days you’re able to drink, so only paying for 6 days (and not 7) is correct.
Answered by CharlieDallas on May 8, 2024
A: Yea it does kick in the second day. The first day u r paying for ur own drinks.
Answered by gride75 on May 14, 2024
A: You can drink but you will be charged Tex tax until we get in international waters.
Answered by JimmyWare1 on May 13, 2024
A: It’s been our experience that it kicks in in international waters, so just late the 1st night sometime. If you try to buy the package onboard though they won’t even let you until the 2nd day.
Answered by Fam2Cruise on May 12, 2024
A: out of Galveston it is a Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission law. All liquor must be from a texas liquor distributor. because of this rule, Carnival has a special drink menu, so some of your favs may not be available
Answered by DACruiser57 on May 9, 2024
A: Drink package starts at 6:00am on 2nd day..This happens out of New York and Texas..you’ll only be charged for 6 days not 7..The ship is also limited to Texas branded liquors on embarkation day..

Q: I’m assuming Jubilee has magnetic doors, can anyone confirm? We like to decorate our door and typically use magnets to do so!

A: I just got off the Jubilee today and Heavy Duty magnets will work on the door. (50lbs or more) The light weight magnets will not work.
Answered by takens on January 27, 2024
A: Yes, the doors are magnetic. It’s best to use heavy duty magnets or your items will fall off.
Answered by takens on February 6, 2024
A: I fully decorated doors for two cabins and did a magnet exchange. I only had one magnet that kept falling off.
Answered by sweetnicezb101 on February 6, 2024
A: The stronger magnets work better on the door. Smaller magnets work great on the wall by the door. Was on the Jubilee NYE. GREAT SHIP!
Answered by davethegreat on January 28, 2024
A: My door magnets didn’t stick well to the door, so I placed them on the wall next to the door.
