Review summary

I cannot recommend the Jubilee more! It’s so beautiful!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Embarkation was a disaster but I could care less bc I’m getting on a cruise

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Small portion sizes, but overall the food was hot and tasted good

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Everything is super fun and well planned out. Different schedule than other cruises I’ve been on but I liked that

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Kyndall Fire is the best!!! We were selected for Family Feud (and lost, but hey we were the first losers ever on the Jubilee!) and I was nervous but Kyndall made it so fun and I wasn’t really nervous on stage like I thought I would be

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Awesome staff, from the fun shops to the mdr to the stateroom steward, they were all fabulous!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Brand new ship, so obviously a new design and very clean. I loved it!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Suite, very big with a large balcony! 2 TVs and 2 free waters

Ship tip

Book specialty dining, excursions, etc. early. Watch a ship tour and study the deck plans or you will get lost very easily!!

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Way nicer than when we last went in 2019. We did the Bacalar Lake of 7 Colors and my gosh… that was the best excursion ever. Beautiful lake that you get to swim in and delicious food!

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
We did the free beach right at the port and we got a great view of the ship and some pretty good food and drinks

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Same ole Cozumel. It’s a classic

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were pulled for customs while debarking but we were escorted off and it didn’t take any extra time, in fact it might have even made it shorter

We are so excited to cruise on the Jubilee in May. Galveston is our home port, but we’ve cruised out of Port Canaveral and Seattle. I hate to say this, but Galveston is always the worst one! But, like you said, once you get on everything is all good!
