And you can have comfort and value — Carnival Jubilee's got a full range of Cloud 9 staterooms in all sizes, from cozy Interiors to stretch-out Suites. The second daytime dining room event I enjoyed was afternoon tea, which is free (unless you choose to upgrade to a gourmet tea option for $3). You can choose from green, black and chamomile tea and a selection of sandwiches and pastries, including scones with cream. Check the daily schedule, or meander over to the Atlantic dining room around 3 p.m. But who needs backstage when there's a theater right in the atrium?
Look beyond the main dining room
I've never had an opportunity to sail on a pre-inaugural cruise without at least a few hundred other passengers. My voyage on Carnival Jubilee was truly a test run, and it was fascinating to see the crew in action as the last-minute details came together seamlessly. Because there were no passengers, their responsibilities turned to readying the vessel. That meant I was able to see them more relaxed as they worked on nailing every last detail before the big first sailing.

After lunch, we grabbed our afternoon lattes and headed back to our cabin to do some work until our next scheduled event, a cocktail hour at Dr. Inks. After a short introduction to the captain and his crew, our media group met for a cocktail hour in the Golden Mermaid. While the bar is very reminiscent of the Golden Jubilee Bar on Celebration, it does have nods to the sea and mermaid mosaics. I ordered the lettuce wraps as an appetizer, and Don did the spring rolls and potstickers. For entrees, Don ordered the sweet & sour shrimp and I did the kung pao chicken and hakka noodles.
Look for second-day spa deals
No Carnival sailing would be complete for a carnivore without a visit to Fahrenheit 555, the onboard steakhouse. On Carnival Jubilee, it's adorned in neutral tans, dark browns and red tones. I wasn't overly hungry when I sat down, but the $49 cover charge ($15 for kids) would also have included a soup or salad and a dessert if I had wanted them. The food item I most recommend you try when sailing on Carnival Jubilee is an order of beignets at Emeril's. Pillows of soft fried dough coated in powdered sugar with chocolate and strawberry sauces for dipping are $5 for an order of six. During my visit, I ordered a pound of stone crab claws in garlic butter (market price) with red beans and rice ($3) and a brie bowl ($6).

On Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration and Carnival Jubilee, though, it's one deck above. It's a minor gripe, but it feels like you're going out of your way to trek up a deck to grab a burger. You can walk from the Golden Mermaid bar (which boasts a giant wall mural featuring mermaids and hidden references to SpongeBob SquarePants) through an archway designed to look like a whale skeleton. The vessel's construction officially started on March 18, 2022, with the steel-cutting ceremony held at the Papenberg shipyard. The special event was attended by Christine Duffy (CCL's President) and Jan Meyer (Meyer Werft GmbH's Managing Director).
I’m not sure what we were expecting, but it was really just organized poolside games. This event is divided into four quarters with various events taking place. We made plans to get up early this morning to catch up on getting photos and videos around the ship.

This is a highlight on Carnival Jubilee; you’ll want to set your schedule around the shows. Although some of Carnival's nighttime song-and-dance theater shows can feel a bit dated, cheesy and lackluster, that isn't the case on Carnival Jubilee. At set times, you can head up one deck — via a staircase with a glittering blue wall that evokes the ocean, offset by a suspended school of swimming fish — to a kiosk that allows you to change the location. Like most large-sized newbuilds, the new Carnival Jubilee is LNG-powered, with 4x Caterpillar Marine LNG engines (model MaK 16M-46DF) generating combined output 57,2 MW. The propulsion system is based on two Azimuting thrusters with combined power output 37 MW.
If you want to avoid the wait and dodge the extra fees that come with eating in most specialty restaurants, consider dining in Italian restaurant Cucina del Capitano or Mexican-meets-Asian Chibang! Originally designed as overflow eateries for Carnival Jubilee's sister ship Mardi Gras, they allow Your Time Dining passengers to enjoy their evening meal at any time during regular dinner hours for no additional charge. Excel Suites, Carnival Jubilee's highest-level accommodations, receive all standard suite perks plus additional ones. It's so common for JavaBlue to be backed up throughout the day that an easy-to-miss sign directs passengers to other locations where they can grab a cup of coffee.

Center Stage features a rotating selection of live entertainment, while Grand View Bar serves up great drinks with plenty to feast your eyes on. In Grand Central you're never far from cups of comfort at JavaBlue™ Café, great dining spots like Bonsai Sushi™ and Bonsai Teppanyaki™, plus feel-good entertainment like Piano Bar 88™ and The Punchliner Comedy Club™. It's no secret that deals abound at cruise ship spas if you know where to look and when to book.
Since I’m not a huge fan of barbeque, I grabbed my second go-round at Shaq’s Big Chicken before heading downstairs to Summer Landing. Since Don had some afternoon meetings for work, we headed back onboard around noontime. We continued checking off casual dining spots by grabbing lunch at Coastal Slice and Beach Buns in the new The Shores zone. This zone has a seaside boardwalk vibe, and it’s also the late night snack spot.
On Carnival cruise ships, there is not a lack of options for casual dining spots. There are so many venues serving breakfast and lunch that it’s almost impossible to try them all in just seven days. But today, we went with breakfast burritos from BlueIguana Cantina.
Like the first cutting of steel, another maritime tradition comes in the laying of the keel. This is the formal recognition of the start of the ship’s construction as the first pieces/modules of the ship are set into place. On August 21, 2020, the name of the second ship in the order was announced as Carnival Celebration.
