Great review so far. We were on the ship with you and absolutely loved it. It was our first time out of Galveston and we tried it just because it was different. We had been out of every port except New York and San Francisco but typically go out of Florida. We stayed in 12363, an excel suite, and 12357 and 12359 (balconies). We loved the ship also!

Am booked in 12359 in December.   Would love to hear your thoughts and any photos you might wish to share.

Here are two photo's that my son took. They really liked to room. The balcony was a good size and it was pretty quiet. The location is good since it was in the middle to the two places we frequented (casino and Lido). He noted that the bathroom was a lot smaller than on other ships but he really liked the shower door as opposed to the curtain.

The brewery tour is $30 and you sign up at the Pig & Anchor bar. The tour was with the head Brew master for all of Carnival, Mike, who is also the current brew master on the Jubilee. We tasted 5 different beers (liberal pours), got a tour of the brewhouse (which is behind the Pig & Anchor Bar), got a souvenir glass (was supposed to be a pint glass, but they were out, so we got cool Red Frog Tiki rocks glasses) and coupon for a free beer redeemable at the Pig & Anchor bar. All in all, it was a lot of fun and I thought a good deal.

This sounds like something my husband would enjoy!  Is it available throughout the cruise?  Do you need to sign up day 1? Thank you!

You sign up at the bar at the Pig & Anchor (8 aft). Just ask a bartender, if you want to sign up in advance, or show up at the scheduled time. It was offered at 11 am and 3 pm on sea days.

How were the crowds?  Did it seem like it was still mostly a Spring Break crowd?  We're considering a Mar. 8, 2025 cruise with our 7 & 5 year old grandsons and don't want toooo crazy of a college spring break feel.  How were the lines at Big Chicken and Coast Slice?  Thanks!

We saw alot of teenagers but did not notice college students. I am not sure if that was because the number of them were small or they were well behaved. 🙃
