Review summary

Carnival has stepped it up with the Jubilee. The food decor and service have all been improved. There are plenty of options for entertainment and food. The ship is huge but never felt overly crowded. There are lines at venues and food places but they move fast.

Embarkation

Very smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I’ve never disliked the food on Carnival, but Carnival has steeped up their game with the new menus and specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Water park ropes course and Bolt roller coaster are great. Bolt is worth the $15 fee

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I really like the ship layout. It only felt crowded on embarkation day.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabins do feel smaller than the cabins on the older ships. I do like the new bathroom layout

Ports of call

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5

The port is ok to hop off and explore. The aviary is a neat experience and affordable. I was surprised by the cost of some of the restaurants in the port especially since you can hop back on the ship and eat for free.

Our favorite cruise port. Can’t beat the free beach if you’re looking for a beach day.

Galveston has a lot to do and great food. Come early or stay after and explore the island.
