Looking forward to your experience.

I had Jubilee on my mind today, was just watching EECC Travels Jubilee videos. It's a no brainer at some point I will be booking this ship since I can drive to port and I love the big new ships! But I have been enamored with NCL lately so who knows when lol.

Hope the nasty weather ends up being not so nasty.

Woohoo a Saint Greg Carnival live! I was having withdrawals.

Have a great cruise, St. Greg!

Oh man, between this, Jeff & Patti, and Wildra's reviews, I have lots of "studying" to do at work! This is great!

OMG me too! I keep my finger on the mouse so I can click off real quick🤣

I don’t sail Carnival but I really enjoy your reviews and I’m looking forward to your review of this ship.

My list of prior trip threads is getting too long. From now I'm only going to post my last couple, then the rest of them will be linked on this webpage.

It didn't seem as different as you would think. The average age is probably higher. I would say fewer 20's and more 30's-40's. There were kids. Actually my biggest issue with it was other than the kids clubs (on Regal at least), they didn't have any place for the kids to go so they ended up in the middle of lido...making the fountain into a splash park. But no water slides, no arcade. Mini golf was really a putting green. Basketball courts were set up for pickle ball 24/7. That's my biggest issue with Princess. But overall it was nice. It felt like a Carnival Journey cruise because a lot of the activities they had would only be on a Journey cruise with Carnival. And it was just a run of the mill western Caribbean cruise.

@Saint Greg thanks for this- doing a B2B on Jubilee in September for my 65th BD and I'm really looking forward to your insight on the ship, as well as the ports... unfortunately the B2B has the same ports both weeks (I just wish they'd do something different with this big girl!).

 

Anyway, I'm here, I'm stoked, fill me with your experiences!

[odie1024]

Have a terrific trip, look forward to following along. Maybe someday I'll try Carnival but as you mentioned there are better values out there these days.

[SummerRoze]

Hooray! I've been anxiously awaiting this review Saint Greg, hope you have a blast!

[Colorado Beach Bum]

Just off the Jubilee last week.  Looking forward to your review.  Nikola at upper Red Frog makes some good drinks.  Have a great time!

[Saint Greg]

These are a work in progress. Well let me say it this way. If you're reading this live, these are a work in progress. If you're reading these a week or more after the cruise, they're accurate.

 

I don't have these linked anywhere other than here while I'm working on them. Some are correct. Some are correct but bad quality. Some are out of date. Some I'm not sure about yet. I think I may have the dining room right but I'll have to confirm that this week.

This is awesome Greg... Just busting on the scene one day prior to the cruise, rather than trying to fill up an entire week with content before you set sail... When I was cancelled on the Jubilee over a year ago, I wish that I would've rebooked, but Carnival pricing is out of control right now... Glad to see you branching out to other lines, and I think you'll love the Encore wayyy more than the older NCL ship you cruised to Alaska...

So true!  The newer, bigger ships on NCL can’t be compared to the older ones. 

[Von & John]

Yes...

We are Ready to Cruise!

Thanks for taking us along...

Von Boyage tomorrow & Cheers to a Fabulous Cruise!

I loved the Regal Princess! Princess Plus is a fabulous deal.  Can't wait to sail Princess again.

Thanks for doing this!  Excited to read along 

[txcruiser1234]

Very much looking forward to your Jubilee live!

If you take in the new show for Jubilee - I think it's called Dear Future Husband - I would love to hear your take... same for the new deck party (I think it's a deck party) called Lone Star Tailgate...

 

oh, and if you try any of the Dr Inks specialty drinks, a thumbs up/down would be much appreciated!
