CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE REVEALS NEW CARNIVAL CELEBRATION VENUE HIGHLIGHTING
 50 YEARS OF FUN 
 
The Golden Jubilee to Represent the Evolution of
 Carnival Fun Ships, 
Including Mementos from Earlier Vessels 
 
MIAMI, April 27, 2022 – As part of its ongoing 50th Birthday celebration, Carnival Cruise Line is introducing The Golden Jubilee, which will celebrate the 50-year history of America’s Cruise Line, on its newest ship Carnival Celebration, debuting this November.

The new bar and lounge will be part of the ship’s final, to-be-announced zone, and will highlight Carnival’s evolution of ships over the last 50 years, weaving its past with its present and looking to the future. The announcement was made today at the Seatrade Cruise Global Conference in Miami. The Golden Jubilee, on Deck 6, in the same location as The Brass
Magnolia on Mardi Gras, will feature artwork, memorabilia and original pieces from Carnival’s earlier vessels that will be incorporated throughout the space bringing Carnival’s 50 years of fun full circle.
 

These include:

A striking bar beneath two-deck-high ceilings adorned with a multi-piece brass chandelier and surrounded by reproductions of blueprints depicting the evolution of Carnival’s Fun Ships, including some hand-drawn designs by world-renowned architect Joe Farcus. Chairs recreated from TSS Carnivale’s Riverboat Lounge paired with cocktail tables from Carnival Fascination’s Hollywood Boulevard
 adorned with signed sketches representing movie classics by iconic caricaturist Al Hirschfeld. 

Original 17’ by 7’ full-height etched glass, nickel and mahogany partition wall with 24 windowpanes from TSS Mardi Gras’ casino,
separating the bar from the promenade.

 

Original decorative etchings of musical instruments as well as polished brass and glass night club doors from TSS Carnivale
 that will frame one of the lounge’s entrances, allowing guests to physically walk through Carnival’s history.

 

Original bronze statue of Carnival founder Ted Arison and Finnish shipbuilder Martin Saarikangas, given as a gift from the Kvaerner Masa-Yards to the line upon delivery of Carnival Sensation in Helsinki, Finland, in 1993.

Reproductions of hand-drawn sketches by Farcus blended into mirrors, offering guests a glimpse into special Carnival moments like Carnival Fascination’s naming ceremony and Carnival Inspiration’s first transit of the Panama Canal.

Floor tiles surrounding the bar that feature a stylized maple leaf pattern reminiscent of the maple leaf design motif from the Grand Ballroom on TSS Mardi Gras that carried over from the ship’s former life as Empress of Canada for Canadian Pacific Line. Mirror inserts integrated into the bar front and bottle display inspired by the etched glass inserts of TSS Carnivale’s main lobby doors.

 

There will also be round windows instead of squared windows, reminiscent of the portholes on the line’s original ships, to create an ambience similar to the classic cruise ship bar and lounge, as well as a stage for live music and dance floor to enhance the overall feel of nostalgic elegance. The specialized bar menu will take guests on a journey through time as well, featuring an early version of line’s logo introduced in the ‘70s, and the most popular cocktails throughout the decades since 1972, Carnival’s founding year. Offerings will include classic and vintage cocktails such as a Harvey Wallbanger and Tom Collins, reimagined in Carnival’s own unique style with premium ingredients and elevated presentations.

“The Golden Jubilee is the ultimate nod to our 50th Birthday – a nostalgic but timeless lounge where our guests can re-live and connect with Carnival’s yesteryears while enjoying a glamorous and elegant space that embraces our current Carnival style,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. The adjacent promenade will also serve as a unique look through Carnival’s history featuring:

A first-of-its-kind porthole gallery installation that will tell the Fun Ships evolution story through a series of six decorative porthole windows featuring three-dimensional dioramas for each of the five decades of Carnival’s history and one representing the company today and a look to its future.

Original vintage engine telegraph from 1955 installed on TSS Carnivale and permanently set to “Full Ahead” sign as a symbol of Carnival’s forward movement.

Coins for every ship in the fleet, both past and present, embedded into the promenade’s floor design.

TSS Carnivale model, recovered from MS Inspiration, at the entrance to the Carnivale Restaurant.

Its definitely different than the Mardi Gras. Looks like a cool place to have a drink and listen to jazz or something.

 

It doesnt seem nearly as open and airy as Brass Magnolia but that just might be the pictures. I will be sailing on her in feb 24'.

Although it it is different than the Brass Magnolia, I take back my comment about it being not as open. the angle i am seeing is from the promenade and it makes it look that way. i can see the bar area has high ceilings and the back of the bar goes down for table seating to watch the music..

 

Definitely looks like a happening spot. The Brass Magnolia is just so darn impressive that this design is just taking time to grow on me.

Looks the same except them moved the stage to the other side Of the lounge and obviously it’s decorated differently. I think moving the stage is smart because now you can’t even see it from the bar area.
