Harmony of the Seas was docked directly across from us. I went out on our balcony to look at her and was shocked to see the huge crowd of passengers heading into Costa Maya.  Holy Guacamole, we made the decision right then to stay on the ship and skip going into port.

I couldn't agree more.  I stayed on the Jubilee as well. It was a really nice afternoon!  Loved seeing the Spirit on our Starboard side.  I was trying to locate my future stateroom on the Port side 😊 Thank you for sharing your pics.  

Thank you so much for bringing us along! I'm really enjoying your review and sense of humor (breakfast of champions--hope to join y'all next time!) I'll be sailing the Spirit to Alaska in 2025.  I really appreciate all of the great ship photos.  And wow, I've never seen Cozumel like that.  We almost didn't make it into Mahogany Bay due to winds and rain the same week as your sailing.  Cozumel was our last stop, so the wind and waves had calmed a bit by then.  Looking forward to the rest of your adventure!

I just got caught up on this Jubilee live review. I have been away from CC for a while. Thank you for all the work you put into this and all of your prior live reviews.  Enjoy your Spirit cruise!  I look forward to following your adventures and learning about that ship.  I will be sailing Spirit for the first time to Alaska in 2025.  Thanks again!

no problem 

 

Nikola was the best bartender.  We had to visit him each night of the cruise.

Dr. Inks was slammed so I headed to golden mermaid and found some spots at golden memaid.

 

 

Hey, that's me seated on the right side of the bar!  Sorry I missed you on the ship, Greg 🙂

I just got caught up on your review.  Thanks so much for sharing your Breeze experience with us. Loving all the great photos, too.  I'm looking forward to the next installment!

Looking forward to reading your review! I'm wondering how many changes they've made since early April, too. Thank you for sharing.

This was an anomaly, The Carnival Long Beach terminal is run very well. Lots of employees and never much wait.    

That's good to hear.  My next cruise from there is to Alaska in September next year.  Hopefully things will be much smoother.  Plus the Miracle is a lot smaller.  Really looking forward to that cruise!

i have never seen the deli open that late, it’s always closed at 11pm.

I was on that same Panorama cruise.  The deli was closed at 9:30 PM.  The only non-fee dining available (post casino) at 10:30 pm was pizza.  With over 30 people in line. The late night snacks (11:30 pm-1 am) available on the Vista (4/9/22 - 4/16/22) are not available on Panorama.  Not sure if it's cutbacks due to staffing issues, or cutbacks to save money. Perhaps Vista is now doing the same thing.

My first time out of Long Beach and the embarkation was the worst I've ever experienced.  Thousands of people, with zero Carnival representatives.  I saw one port employee telling everyone there was only one line, and no way to see that there were 3 lines once you came around to the front/side of the building. Cruising solo made it impossible to hold my place in line to investigate further. I was sunburned by the time I boarded 😎

Cucina anytime you want. There’s a reason for that.

I appreciate the thought but I’m not looking for people to buy me things. That all went back as gratuity.

That's a great idea. Outstanding waitstaff.  They definitely deserve it

Did a cruise in August several years ago to Belize and Mahogany Bay and it was 100-110

That's just miserable.  No more August cruises for me.

it was warm but probably nothing like other times of the year. I didn’t have internet out there so I don’t know exactly 

Thanks. I'm trying to picture August!

I ordered a bagel, cream cheese, cereal, juice, coffee and peanut butter for 6-6:30 tomorrow.

See ya back on the ship.  Sleeping in myself! Have a great day!

Greg, are you doing a ruins tour early tomorrow?

Sorry Greg. That comedian sucked. Missed all dinner options. Hitting the deli after a smoke 

Lots of seating left in punchlines for the 945
