Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Mediocre food. Not a lot of variety.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

The Bolt and obstacle courses.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

The jubilee theatre shows were awful.

Children's Programs

None of my kids want to go.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Roberto from the Pacific dining hall was great. The Lido deck staff tends to ignore you.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Nope. A lot of empty plates and cups left by passengers all over the ship. Some have a smell to them already.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The AC was too warm. Called our steward to have it cooler. The size was good and the closet space was adequate.

Ship tip

Do not eat in the Lido deck and find a cooler space to hang out. The ship overall is warm.

We booked a private van and Jorge was marvelous as a tour guide. So worth the price to travel privately.

My cruise aboard Jubilee was totally opposite and I could not imagine a better time. Hate your experience was considered to be so terrible.

I don't believe you thought less of a place because it was too hot. I guess Carnival better check the weather and fix it so it's pleasing those, so call privileged falk like you. Please give me a break, farewell, and Carnival and those who cruise them will really, really not miss you.
