Depends. When are you searching for a cruise? Is it possible it’s sold out?
Huh?

Have you selected to book under an offer code? It could be select sailings.
What???
I'm talking about when you come into the Carnival Cruise Forum at the top there is a query method to just see posted related to the ship you are sailing on, it lists all of them in a drop down with the exception of the Jubilee.

What's happening with this site?

Any idea how much the taxi's are from the cruise ship pier to Paradise Beach?
-
Which pier does the Carnival Jubilee dock at in Cozumel?

Sailed her 2/4/24-2/9/24 found the ship to be in great condition. Very clean and well kept with no terrible signs of rust. There were a few chairs in Studio B that were broken as they were fold-downs and they kept going down to the point you could slide off of it. Sadly the cupholders in the main show lounge serve no purpose as the glasses used now will not fit in them.
Food was better than expected, Chops and Giovanni's were excellent and Johnny Rockets was fun too. I heard the ice cream from the soft serve dispensers wasn't good but didn't try any myself. The Promenade Cafe is a life savor for late night eats but it gets BUSY. Show's were not media productions as found on new ships, the true stars are the ship's singers and dancers the backdrops are meh. Sadly I wasn't impressed with the comedian on our sailing or the piano player in the Schooner bar but that is a subjective opinion.

I know that both "specialties" are included at this point but I've heard on a YouTube review I cannot find now that if you have an assigned dining time you cannot make a reservation before a certain time. Is this true? Is that just if you try to book it on the app while onboard? What if you just show up and ask to be seated?
I realize other ships have these restaurants but I am speaking specifically to the Jubilee as it's new and the dining for the first year or so may be a bit different than other similar ships.

Be careful in recommending Celebrity. We are on Constellation for 30+ days right now and are extremely disappointed in the dining. Case in point, last night's dinner offering was Meatloaf and a vegetarian pot pie with only mushrooms and potatoes. We sail most of the cruise lines at least 100 or more days a year and find that Celebrity food at this point is no better than MSC or Royal-in fact their offerings are better than what we've found on Celebrity--such a decline, such a sad state of affairs!
Makes me excited and happy to be going on the new Carnival Jubilee in May, food videos on YouTube look GREAT!

17 Days until we sail. Is everyone excited? Here in the northeast we've been having lots of snow lately, I hope it doesn't impact any travel. I'm heading to florida a few days before we sail to celebrate and be there early.

Does anyone coming out these past cruises have pictures of the menus from the Main Dining Room? Curious to see how they look compared to dining in the other restaurants. Too many choices lol
Try YouTube for the menus.

Booked and looking forward to this ship!

CCL CAN offer drink package on embarkation day from Galveston, they CHOOSE not to.
okay 🙄

Does this happen on RCL?
Not a cruise line issue it's a state tax issue. I know it happens in Galveston, CCL cannot even honor (nor do they charge for) the drink package on embarkation day due to backwards state laws. Alaska, New York, Maryland (cruises out of Baltimore) you pay the tax on alcohol.

I believe the maiden voyage of the Jubilee embarks from Galveston today, wishing everyone a safe and lovely cruise! Please report back with all the details! Super excited to be sailing her in May 2024!

My husband and I just paid our 2024 cruise. We are waiting for our confirmation so that we may book our flights to Miami!
We are so excited.
Thank you Peter Enns for all your help with our booking process.
That's great news, the more the merrier!

Appropriate is subjective.
No, it's common sense and decorum.

Not sure but what's the thinking? Would the Royal Night happen on a 5 night sailing? This dinner menu includes Maine Lobster Tail (not at an extra charge).

Let's do the Math... I like doing the Math...
Assuming two people in the stateroom...
$59.95 x 2 = $119.90
$119.90 x 0.18 = $21.58 ( Gratuity )$119.90 + 21.58 = $141.48
$141.48 x 5 = $707.40Still cheaper than Royal Caribbean that is as much as $89.99pppd before gratuity!

We loved EX and have another cruise booked next year. As long as you're not looking for Broadway shows and a lot of water slides you will be fine.
They did install some water slides on it's last drydock: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/2023/02/27/royal-caribbean-adds-water-slides-explorer-of-the-seas

And how long ago was that?
You also keep citing the hamburger and ignoring the other entrees. You have 6-7 choices for a reason. Clearly that menu is not to your standards, which is perfectly fine, we all have preferences.
I'm not cruising to eat Mac & Cheese, a hamburger or fried chicken for dinner sorry. I'll stop at the A&W/KFC on my way home from work if that's what I'm in the mood for.

Things and prices changed in the last 35 years. LOL.
You still could not eat like you can on a cruise ship considering all the other things that are included, room, entertainment, travel and SO MUCH MORE.
The only reason that is, is because the price of cruising hasn't changed in 35 years. in 1989 it cost about $1000pp for an inside cabin for a 7 night cruise and that didn't include any amenities. Cruise lines unfortunately have cheapened their product to attract the mass market. As a result there are fights and drunks and people going overboard and everything else. If you adjusted for inflation that means the interior room on a 7 night should be going for about $2460pp. Imagine the quality of cruise you'd get if that were the case.

Huh? Looks like a pretty standard MDR dinner menu to me. Steak, fish, chicken, Indian dish... what exactly are you expecting?
well I've been cruising for 35 years and it's a far cry from the crab claws appetizer and frog legs provencale that Royal Caribbean used to serve. A hamburger, at dinner and you're not in a buffet line???? Horrible!

Yes, it was dinner. I never ate in the MDR for any other meal.
Horrible if that constitutes a cruise line dinner menu, Outback has a nicer selection!
No Jubilee under "Select a Ship"
in Carnival Cruise Lines

Carnival's newest XL class ship that debuted in December 2023 has been named the Jubilee, I have no need for posts from 1986, thanks for your insights.
