Who cruised on the Jubilee?

[dmdiver]

Jubilee was my first cruise in 2003.  My daughter had sailed with the high school choir just a few months prior & convinced my hubby to go.  He was so sure he would be bored stuck on a boat for 5 days.  We've all been hooked since then.

How about pillow fights while combatants were sitting above the pool with their legs clinging to a pole that was stretched across the pool?  Or two women diving into the pool and trying to stuff as many ping pong balls as they could into their bikinis?

 

Clear memories of this!  On woman had a tiny black bikini on and I mean tiny. She stuffed a half a watermelon into her bra and everything fell out except the watermelon. Guys were going nuts!

My first cruise. 1990. Flew from where I was living in Hawaii and sailed solo Mexican Riviera out of LA. Even though the jubilee was much smaller than ships today, it the first cruise ship I had ever seen and I remember being so amazed at how big it was. Good memories from that cruise and been cruising ever sense.

Dh and I sailed with a group of friends on the Jubilee, June 2000. It was an Alaskan itinerary. I loved that ship and it's Old World feel with all the beautiful woodwork. One of the best cruises I've had!

Loved the Jubilee to the Mexican Riviera many times . . . She was a "monster" back then. Just amazed me.

Love this thread and seeing everyone's pics.  We weren't on Jubilee but our first cruise was also out of San Juan in 1992 on a slightly different itinerary (St. Thomas; St. Maarten; Dominica; Barbados; Martinique; sea day).  I enjoyed this so much I started a thread for Festivale.  Hope you don't mind the copy...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  🙂

She was my first Cruise ever with my then boyfriend in 1996 to the MR.  I was in amazement and we had the best time.  We returned home and a week later my boyfriend proposed and we got married in 1998 and honeymooned on the brand new Elation!  Lots of great memories 🥰

Thank you so much for your photo ^

 

I just reworked and submitted another few Festivale and Jubilee photos

to that photo album of the first few Carnival ships.

 

All of us.. we are assembling quite a historical record of those ships..
This is a joint effort, now.
Thanks again.

My family and I went on our first family cruise in 2002. In the pictures I am the little knucklehead. 

Sailed from Tampa to Cozumel. 

Started cruising again in 2009 and have been addicted ever since!

We cruised on the Jubilee in June of 2004 from Jacksonville, Florida.  Fun times with friends!

What I really love about these older ships were the railings.  They were open slits, not glass partition type.  You had a nice breeze and clear view of the ocean while laying out. I  absolutely hate having to lay out next to railing when all of it is glass.  As you can see on the previous poster pictures they are split railings.  Those were perfect spots to get.

Glass is better these days than open railings.
