7 Night Western Caribbean (Galveston Roundtrip)

Sail date: May 11, 2024

Ship: Carnival Jubilee

Traveled as: Couple

Review summary

Having been on Mardi Gras and Celebration I had high expectations. The Jubilee didn’t disappoint. Only negative is the repetitive itinerary that you get cruising out of Galveston. Carnival needs to figure out how to mix it up a bit and do 6 nights on western Caribbean instead of 7.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

I love cruising out of Galveston. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Boarding the ship is a breeze. We were through security and on the ship within 10 minutes

This Venue is free for the inaugural year. We ate here three times during our sailing. I loved the noodles!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Basically our activities were comedy shows and live music. Pools were always pretty busy.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Some of the BEST entertainment I’ve seen on a ship. The first two comedians were amazing. The last three left a lot to be desired. Justin the guitar soloist was GREAT. So was the other guitar soloists. The shows were well done. Scott Harris was solid in the piano bar. The house band was very good in Center Stage and Pig and Anchors.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Being a new ship many of the crew are Carnivals top crew across the Fleet. It really shows on this ship. Staff was friendly and attentive.
