Remember the Carnival Jubilee

[GTVCRUISER]

[Lace]

A favorite. Sailed her 4 times.

[Granny1]

She was the first cruise and having never seen a cruise ship we were star strucked when we seen it, it was HUGE in our eyes but now is small wherever she is compared to the ships now days..Going on the Dream in 89 days and introducing two newbies to cruising and anxious to see the amazement when they see the ship.;)

We sailed her on a 10 day RT from Miami back in 2000 (when carnival used to offer 10 day trips) Great cruise included Key west, Curacao Aruba, Cartagena 1/2 canal transit and Lima Costa Rica

 

Yes it was a small compared to today @ 33,000 tons but my first cruise was on NCL Skyward @ 16000 tons so the Jubilee was a monster.

We have very fond memorys of the Jubilee

My wife and I, and my best friend and his wife sailed on her in 2002, we each had Verandah suites opposite each other. Loved the Holiday class, she was in great shape even then.

 

We had the wildest seas on that trip I've ever seen, and I am sure the size of the ship and lack of stabilizers made it worse. She was rocking!

 

Seemed that just about everyone on the ship was sick by the third or fourth day in. My friend and I, feeling pretty well (we never did get sick - must have been the booze) were in the casino that night, when they had to close the craps table due to not having enough dealers who weren't sick!

Fond memories of this ship. Still friends with tablemates and even the CD, even thought its almost 30 years since we first sailed her.

 

Saw her one last time in the distance as we sailed past her back in 2004, before she went to P&O as the Pacific Sun..

 

She now is called the Henna.

We sailed on our honeymoon in 1989 to the Mexican Rivera on her. Gotta go find some pictures!;)

We sailed on her in February 1999. It was an 11 day cruise that went as far south as Aruba and Trinidad. We thought it was an amazing ship and had a great time. Compared to the Breeze it seems so small but it was easy to get around. It never seemed crowded either.

Love the dining times. Especially the dining "tickets".

The Jubilee was our first cruise! This was the ship that got us hooked on cruising!!!!!:)

[apkpcruisers]

Our first cruise was to the Mexican Riviera on her. Had an earthquake shake us up the night before we boarded. We had an amazing trip in our tiny inside cabin.

My first cruise, too, in April 2001. I also thought she was HUGE!

 

We had some rough seas, and I was fairly green the entire time (upper decks were closed off). I never hurled, but I wasn't sure I ever wanted to cruise again.

 

And yet over the next couple of years, I kept thinking, "hmmmm, I need to give that another try." So I did, and sailed RCI's Empress (Nordic Empress at that time; about the same size ship but had an teeny, tiny inside cabin).

 

I had every intention of sailing one of the other remaining Holiday class ships and it just didn't happen.

 

People can keep the bigger, newer ships. I'm not interested. I really have no desire to sail Splendor in November. It just happens to be the ship that is doing the repositioning. It's the itinerary I want.

 

I loved my 14-night HAL cruise on Zaandam. She's smaller, has a layout more like the Spirit-class ships, has a wrap-around promenade deck with plenty of deck chairs out there.

 

I may just have to "graduate" to HAL once I take my Milestone cruise on Carnival.

 

It's a shame that to sail on smaller, more intimate ships you have to pay more money. :(

I know this is an old post, but I just came across it and was so excited to see the Capers for Jubilee. Jubilee was my first cruise in 1994, 7-day Mexican Riviera, and what got me hooked on cruising!

 

I knew they had a midnight buffet in the dining room, but I had been telling people about a 2:00am buffet that was on the Promenade deck, and others didn't remember! But there it is! Listed on the Capers! I remember dancing the night away in the night club and then hitting the mini-buffet on the Promenade about 2:00am each night! it was great!

 

Can't believe that was 22 years ago!

My first cruise!

[myangel]

wow such memories! our very first cruise and our Honeymoon cruise May 24 1987! Cocktails were served in real glasses, cherries Jubilee was flamed, baked Alaska parade, midnight buffets, wooden horse races, skeet shooting!! but I still love Carnival as much as I did in 1987!!

We sailed on Celebration back in the day but never on Jubilee.

[AguaMala]

My first cruise as well. She took me to the eastern Caribbean, the Mexican Rivera, and Hawaii.
