About Carnival Jubilee
Carnival Jubilee is the third Excel-class cruise ship from Carnival Cruise Line, delivered in December 2023 from Meyer Werft in Germany. Measuring 183,900 gross tons and 1,130 feet in length, she accommodates 5,374 guests at double occupancy and is the first major cruise ship to homeport in Galveston, Texas, at this size. Carnival Jubilee shares the Excel-class platform with sisters Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration, featuring the exhilarating BOLT roller coaster on the top deck and six distinctive themed zones. What sets Jubilee apart is her Texas-themed The Shores zone, a nod to her Galveston homeport, featuring beach-inspired lounges and dining. The ship features over 20 dining options including celebrity chef partnerships with Guy Fieri's Burger Joint, Emeril Lagasse's Bistro 1397, and Rudi's Seagrill. Entertainment includes Playlist Production shows, a comedy club, piano bar, and the Heroes Tribute Lounge honoring military service members. The Grand Casino spans the length of Deck 7, while the Cloud 9 Spa offers extensive wellness and beauty treatments. Powered by LNG technology for reduced emissions, Carnival Jubilee sails year-round Western Caribbean itineraries from Galveston, Texas, calling at destinations including Cozumel, Costa Maya, Mahogany Bay (Roatan), and Carnival's upcoming Celebration Key in the Bahamas.
