tidecat Posted May 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2017 We've known this has been coming for a while, but the former Jubilee - which last sailed as the Henna for Chinese line HNA - is at the beach in Alang, India to be scrapped.

VolzCruiser Posted May 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Never Cruised on her but it always sad to see one scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDawg Posted May 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I prefer the word recycled. And look on the bright side, you might get a chance to have some of her recycled steel in that Indian car you'll be buying in a couple of years.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mamiamjo Posted May 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Sailed on her once in 2003. While it's sad to see her go, I'm always happy to sail the newer, bigger, "better"(?) ships. Kind of like an old car that you used to own, you might look back on it fondly, but do you want to still be driving it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toad455 Posted May 3, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2017 such a shame as she wasn't that old. Her last owner just didn't take care of her. Was really hoping she would've been bought by someone and got refurbished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonit964 Posted August 28, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The Jubilee was my parents first cruise in May 1993. That's what started the addiction and passed it down onto me, my DH and our teenager. Sad :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheatie59 Posted August 28, 2017 #15 Share Posted August 28, 2017 She was our first cruise in 1997 out of Long Beach. Time passes and steel gets recycled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger0613 Posted August 28, 2017 #16 Share Posted August 28, 2017 My first cruise was on the Jubilee in June 2002 out of Tampa. I still prefer her over most of the current classes. The slide on the Jubilee went into the main pool instead of just ending in a small basin. The big splash into the pool was one of the things I liked about it.

Earthworm Jim Posted August 29, 2017 #18 Share Posted August 29, 2017 such a shame as she wasn't that old. I don't know. A 1986 cruise ship seems pretty old to me. That's over 30 years ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ja_martin Posted August 29, 2017 #22 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Jubilee was my very first cruise in December 2001. Good thing we had cruise #2 already booked on Imagination. Jubilee was a bit rough and rocky. People were both sick and a couple of people injured from falling. Didn't think anything of it at the time as we had nothing to compare it to. We come to find out later that her nickname was the Jubi"lean". Ah! Still good memories and still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMSACE6 Posted August 29, 2017 #23 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I did not sail on the Jubilee, and actually was not into cruising yet, when she was in service for Carnival. However, I understand the attachment we have to our first or early cruise ships. My first cruise was on NCL Norway in 1999. And even though I had a wonderful cruise, and started my cruise ship/cruise addiction, I already knew back then that she would not be there much longer. I was sad when the tragedy struck her, and especially for the loss of life. Then sad again, to see that ship laying out there on that scrap heap, disappearing gradually, like vultures picking at dead things. It is sad to see, but times change, and sometimes old machines cannot be rehabilitated to fit into our world of today. Having worked in the airline industry for many years, I also feel sad to see that airplane graveyard in the desert. Boeing 747 was my favorite airplane, and is barely seen anymore. I know it is no longer feasible for airlines to run them, but I miss them along with other airplanes I liked. Oh well, but love to look back and reminisce.
