Best video I’ve seen yet, appreciate it. Heading out here in about a week… my biggest concern is the coffee situation. Sounds like there’s one option and the lines are long…?
Thank you for the kind words! You have the option of either Java Blue or the Havana Cafe for speciality coffee. Java Blue is the longest lines each day, but we would just watch the morning show to pass time while in line. Drip coffee is available in the buffett areas also.Hope you have and awesome cruise and thank you for watching!
💯 Come down to Galveston the day before! People underestimate how long it takes to get from IAH. Even Hobby is a gamble bc there is a good chance with construction or an accident that it may take hours to get onto Galveston Island.
We love Galveston and that is what we do when sailing out of there. We like to arrive at least 1 day ahead of our sailing to enjoy every city we sail out of and Galveston was awesome! Thank you for watching!
Hi, we cruise out of Galveston Tx on 10-12-17-24, our group flew in the day before, we ate at Nick's Sea food Bar and Grill and we ate at SOUL to SOUL Restaurant both places the food was great on Seawall, had a ball on Carnival Breeze, to me Carnival Breeze needs a better selection on the buffet.
I’m going on the jubilee on the 9th of November 2024. Can’t wait. Had some friends who had sailed on it already and they loved it. Now the only thing that you really did talk about was the cabins. Good bad or indifferent. Just asking
We loved the ship and is tied with the Symphony of the Seas as our favorite ship. We do have a room tour: ua-cam.com/video/9cnjWywndXc/v-deo.html feel free to take a look. It is an interior Cloud 9 room. Thank you for watching!
Looks fantastic! My BFF and I met you guys on the Spirit out of Jacksonville in 2022 at dinner one night. We are leaving Tampa on the 16th on the Paradise!
Even if you have cheers you are charged for the soda fountain. You still have the option to order from the waiter or bartender though. Thank you for watching!
My wife and I are going in November, and bringing my parents for their first ever Cruise. It will be our first Excel class ship with Carnival, and I am the type that maps everything in my head 🗺 (Since family will turn to me on where to go). Great review from a typical cruiser's perspective. You are the first video I have watched that mentioned where the shuffle board table was - so that was one final checkbox for me 😁 It also reminded me to grab the single page expanded Deck plans - So I appreciate that! Do you know if any shows (Family Feud, Comedy, etc) have to be booked after boarding for these Excel class ships? Or are they all still First come for seating?
Thank you for watching and I’m glad the video helped! All shows were first come, first served unfortunately. I wish they had a reservation system for shows.
Need to eat at fishtails in Galveston and have a couple drinks then walk the road to bubba gumps and have a few more drinks and get your week started right lol.
@ can’t wait to get on board we are doing a New Year’s Eve cruise this year. We usually go during thanksgiving or Christmas break but moved it back a little this year thanks for the video it will definitely be helpful
Does the Jubilee have any wash rooms where you can do your own laundry? if so, what decks are they located on? what type of drinks do you suggest? what bar can we get the bubble drink? we are going on Jubilee next week on October 26. can't wait.
It does not have a launderette, our favorite cocktail is the Cucumber Sunrise and the Adios MFer, the bubble drink is available at Dr. Ink’s. Thank y’all for watching and have fun!
I went on Carnival Mardi Gras december 14 - 20 , 2024 Basically the week before christmas. So far i enjoyed for my 1st time on a cruise the only thing that kicked my booty was when the boat shakes & the turbulance it knocks me out of nowhere like i cant walk straight and you get dizzy at certain times. & like you said the traffic jam i didnt like too. Plus i was scared of heights. I enjoyed shacs chicken & guys burger & fries. This ship and floor layout plans on julibee look exactly alike on carnival mardi gras i was on not too long ago. I didnt get to go into the pool for one cause its too crowded but next time i will get on ethier early in the morning or evening. The only thing i disliked about or sonething they can change is paying for cash at stores. Im like why are they making us use card like i didnt know i have to use card in the stores inside the ship. Im guessing so ppl dont steal money out the registers i guess to prevent it. This was a cristmas gift from last christmas so yeah this 2024 of december we got to go. Other than that i enjoyed my vacation it was nice pretty nervous for my 1st time but hopefully i go again soon. May i ask you what did you enjoy about your cruise. Have you ever been on carnival mardi gras.
Thank you for watching! We have been sailing since 2022 and we fell in love with it! Every cruise we go on we enjoy and enjoy it in different ways. Our experience on the Jubilee was probably our favorite. The ship is perfectly laid out and there is plenty to do.
@@andrescott6725 I have sailed since 2000 and never saw cash being used on ships other than gratuities. Potential of theft is probably why. One less thing for ships to worried about.
I agree with you on Shaq's > Chick fil a, but my personal unpopular opinion is that I don't like Chic fil a at all. I am not a fan of breading over floured/battered. We love The Spot too, and this time around are going to be staying at the hotel right next door, Holiday Inn Express. Willie Gs is also another great place to eat. Harbor House is expensive, but worth doing at least once. You can get up early in the morning and watch the ships come in from right outside the hotel, and the port is actually walking distance, even dragging luggage. The hotel itself is just okay; the price is definitely about the location. With you on that drive from Houston, and this time we really have a long drive because we had to fly into IAH. Coming from a small town in WY we have limited options, and get to pick either United or Delta. Delta is expensive, United doesn't fly to Hobby. It's the pits. Driving to Denver in January is just asking for trouble, otherwise we'd be on SW. Oh well. Can't wait for January!
I’ve been on the jubilee 3 times and chi bang is usually a hit or miss it was good on the first jubilee cruise I was on and on the others it was very very mid wasn’t really a fan of shaq’s big chicken other than that great ship love the layout the casino is a little small but it’s not bad I go back on this ship in January and I can’t wait🎉
Three of us friends are going on the carnival jubilee January 2025. We’re all disabled. so we’re getting the handicap room. I hope we don’t have to climb ladders.🚢
Disliked 1. Buffet is awful. Lacks options 2. Toilets around the ship. Single user and pain for all to know how to use 3. The shows. Sadly not its own. Some same as the carnival celebration. No good broadway shows. 4. Comedy shows are short 5. Elevators suck - small Staff 5 stars Nice casino with plenty of non smoking Serenity area for adults was nice

Thank you so much! We take influence and mentorship from EECC, La Lido Loca and Para Dee Jay and add our own flare. Thank you for amazing kind words!
@@TheMoonlightAdventuresThose are also a few of my favs. Thanks again
@kmcbride2988 Dee and I had the honor of competing against each other on the Princess Pop Star competition on the Sun Princess. They are both awesome!

We remember you guys and appreciate you hanging in there with us this long! Thanks for watching!
We tried a new place (for us) in Galveston that was the best meal I had EVER had on the island. Mario's Ristorante on 61st
We love Italian food and will have to try that next time for sure! Thank you for watching!
How was disembarktion and getting back to hobby
It was pretty seamless. We took a Lyft. Thank you for watching!
If you have the cheers package does that soda fountain work for that ? Like I won’t be charged ?
Even if you have cheers you are charged for the soda fountain. You still have the option to order from the waiter or bartender though. Thank you for watching!
@@TheMoonlightAdventures No you are not charged if you have the cheers package it is free scan your card and fill up.
Thank you for the correction! I had forgotten that we didn’t get the drink package on that sailing.

@pytube777 Yep I was just about to say that. Probably would be a bad move because people would definitely steal money out the registers
Nice review. Thanks for sharing. Were there any bands? Wife and I like to chill, drink a cocktail, and listen to a band or a performer.
Thank you and thanks for watching. There was a lot of live music throughout the ship daily.

It’s at the Coastal Slice. Pretty standard Carnival Pizza, but it is good.
👍!

2. Toilets around the ship. Single user and pain for all to know how to use
3. The shows. Sadly not its own. Some same as the carnival celebration. No good broadway shows.
4. Comedy shows are short
5. Elevators suck
- small
Staff 5 stars
Nice casino with plenty of non smoking
Serenity area for adults was nice
Thanks for watching! We saw similar issues, but we did enjoy the ship overall.
