Carnival Jubilee

Celebrity-chef kitchens on Carnival Jubilee

Carnival Jubilee’s food runs from casual counters included in the fare to bookable specialty dinners, and the specialty end is where she stands out. Emeril’s Bistros at Sea serves Creole-inspired dishes created by Emeril Lagasse, a dinner worth reserving ahead for. At Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse & Brewhouse, smoked barbecue comes with craft beers brewed on board, which gives her a brewpub you will not find ashore. Both are priced à la carte, as are several other bookable specialty dinners.

Plenty is included in the fare as well, and BlueIguana Cantina is the easy favourite: fresh Mexican food in a lively setting, with no bill at the end. Three-course dinners are served every night in her main restaurant, and casual counters keep things going through the day.

Galveston round-trips to the Bahamas and the Western Caribbean

Carnival Jubilee sails round-trips from Galveston, Texas, so each voyage begins and ends at the same port. Her eight-night Caribbean voyages run in November and December and head out to the Bahamas. Stops change between departures, but you might see Nassau, Half Moon Cay (Little San Salvador) and Celebration Key.

She also sails five- and six-night Western Caribbean round-trips from Galveston in April and December. Typical calls include Cozumel and Progreso on Mexico’s Yucatán coast and Mahogany Bay on Roatán, Honduras.

From Australia we book the flights to Galveston, a hotel either side and the transfers together with the cruise, as one holiday. An eight-night Bahamas voyage then sits at the heart of a proper trip to the United States. Other Carnival ships include Carnival Celebration, and our Carnival Cruise Line page has the line’s whole fleet.

Stage shows, stand-up and cocktails on Carnival Jubilee

Carnival Jubilee’s evening entertainment is included in the fare. Playlist Productions stages live musical theatre, with productions rotating through the cruise, so a longer voyage brings more than one show. The Punchliner Comedy Club runs stand-up throughout the voyage, and it is where many evenings end.

For a drink, Dr.Inks, Ph.D. mixes inventive cocktails with a sea-loving theme. Entry to her bars is free, and drinks are charged unless a beverage package covers them.

Children aged 2–11 can join supervised, ocean-themed activity groups at no extra cost, and our Carnival family cruises search brings together more sailings built for families.

Carnival Jubilee cabins and deck plans

Carnival Jubilee offers suites alongside her cabins, and on a ship this size where you sleep decides how near you are to the pool decks, the theatre and the quieter corners. Her cabins and deck plans lay out every deck, so you can see what sits above and below a cabin before you choose.
