Review summary

All of my cruises are great. They are some of my favorite vacations and The Jubilee has taken a special place in my heart already. The size, the modernness, the decor and theming, food options, etc. I personally have already experienced a “hard time” (sarcasm but still true) going back to the Glory from the Jubilee and I can say, I might be an Excel Snob for the foreseeable future. I just appreciated the newness.

The rhythm wasn’t there with the food and service in MDR, during the inaugural sailing. By the time we sailed again in April on the Jubilee, all was fantastic!! Start up woes happen to all, included well establish companies!

Only giving it a 4 because I’m still undecided if I like the bed first layout. I’ve heard a lot of people say they prefer the sofa by the balcony, but I. JUST. DON’T. KNOW.

It was literally the first sailing. Although it was a two at the time - it has improved in my opinion having sailed on The Jubilee two additional times since then.

I know what you mean… I don’t think I can “slum” it on any other kind of ship now lol!! We have cruised on the Mardi Gras and recently the Jubilee. Love them both!
