Welcome Aboard Carnival Jubilee
Introducing Carnival Jubilee, the latest marvel in the Carnival Cruise Line fleet. This Excel-class powerhouse combines innovative, environmentally friendly LNG technology with the high-energy atmosphere the line is famous for. From the moment you step into the striking Grand Central atrium, you'll see that this ship is designed to impress, offering a sophisticated yet playful setting that perfectly balances relaxation with non-stop excitement for guests of all ages.
The Atmosphere
You'll find that life on board is defined by six distinct zones, each crafted to offer a completely different mood and experience. Whether you’re looking for the high-octane thrills of The Ultimate Playground, the tranquil, sea-inspired serenity of the Currents zone, or the relaxed, backyard-barbecue feel of Summer Landing, the ship’s layout ensures you’re always just a few steps away from your preferred pace. It’s a clever design that manages to make a large ship feel intimate, allowing you to tailor your holiday to suit your mood each day.
Elevated Experiences
While the ship caters to a fun-loving crowd, you’ll find plenty of ways to enjoy a more refined escape. The Serenity Adult-Only Retreat offers a peaceful sanctuary where you can recharge away from the excitement of the main decks. Additionally, guests seeking a bit more space and exclusive amenities can choose from a range of suites and staterooms that provide upgraded comfort, ensuring that you have a quiet, luxurious home base to return to after a busy day of exploring the ship’s many zones.
Signature Highlights
Experience BOLT, the first rollercoaster at sea, which puts you in the driver’s seat for an exhilarating, all-electric thrill ride high above the ocean.
Enjoy an incredible variety of culinary options, headlined by Emeril’s Bistro 717, which serves up authentic Creole flavours created by the ship’s own Chief Culinary Officer.
Take in spectacular, high-tech entertainment at Center Stage, where three-deck-high LED screens and immersive performances redefine what a live show can be.
Explore the Currents zone, an innovative space that uses massive LED ceilings and interactive technology to transport you into a fantastical underwater world.
Relax at Summer Landing, your go-to spot for freshly smoked favourites from Guy’s Pig and Anchor Smokehouse or a pint of locally brewed craft beer.
What Stands Out
What makes Carnival Jubilee truly special is how it seamlessly integrates cutting-edge technology with the genuine, warm hospitality that Carnival is known for. It’s a ship that doesn't take itself too seriously, yet it delivers a level of sophistication and innovation that’s hard to beat. We recommend this ship because it manages the rare feat of feeling both grand and accessible, ensuring that every guest finds their own version of a perfect getaway, whether that’s pushing the limits on a rollercoaster or enjoying a quiet cocktail in an underwater-themed lounge.
Who Is This Ship For
Carnival Jubilee is the ideal choice for families, groups of friends, and active couples who want a holiday filled with variety, energy, and constant entertainment. It’s a perfect fit for those who love having options, as the sheer number of activities and dining spots ensures there’s never a dull moment. You’ll especially enjoy the blend of high-tech attractions and classic, comfortable favourites that make this ship feel like a home away from home, but with much better views and endless opportunities for fun.
The Cruise Advisor's Insider Tip: Make sure to visit The Golden Mermaid in the late afternoon to catch the light streaming through the unique, elegant glassware, making for a perfect photo opportunity before the evening crowds arrive.
How We Rate Carnival Jubilee
The Cruise Advisor gives Carnival Jubilee a 5 out of 6. It’s a standout in the cruise world, offering an incredible array of activities and dining that keeps guests engaged from start to finish. The ship’s clever use of zones makes it easy to navigate, and the quality of the new culinary and entertainment venues is top-tier. While the sheer scale of the ship might be a bit overwhelming for those seeking a quiet, traditional experience, it excels at providing exactly what its audience wants. The incorporation of sustainable LNG technology is a significant bonus that adds to the ship's overall appeal. If you’re looking for a high-energy holiday that offers non-stop entertainment and diverse flavours, this is undoubtedly the ship for you.
