Our Day at the Nacional Beach Club 🌴🏖️

Once we arrived at the beach club, we settled in with our Resort Day Pass. This gave us dedicated loungers on the beach and access to a plunge pool to cool off. ☀️

The all-inclusive setup included fruit platters and unlimited drinks. For lunch, they served a spread of nachos, fajitas, and seasonal lobster. 🌮🦞 It was a good way to spend the day at the beach before heading back to the ship for sail away.

Evening on the Jubilee 🎭🎸

Once we were back on the Carnival Jubilee, we had dinner in the Pacific Restaurant. 🍽️

The evening entertainment was a highlight of the day. We went to the Jubilee Theater for “Soulbound” by Playlist Productions, which featured great singing and visual effects. We ended the night up on the Lido Deck for the 80s Rock and Glow Party. 🕺⚡️ It was a solid end to our fourth day on the ship.

Carnival Jubilee Day 3: Cozumel Snorkeling at El Cid and ChiBang! Dinner

Carnival Jubilee Caribbean Cruise: Cozumel El Cid & ChiBang! Dinner - Day 3 Vlog

Day 3 of our 7-night Western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Jubilee brought us to the beautiful island of Cozumel, Mexico! 🚢 We had an incredible day exploring a local resort and enjoying the unique dining experiences back on the ship.

Easy Port Access to El Cid La Ceiba

For our Cozumel excursion, we decided to visit El Cid La Ceiba. One of the best parts about this location is how convenient it is. It was an easy 10-minute walk from the Puerta Maya port where the Carnival Jubilee docks. We booked our pass through Resort for a Day, which made the entire experience seamless.

Our home base for Day 3 in Cozumel! 🌊 El Cid La Ceiba is a beautiful resort just a short 10-minute walk from where the Carnival Jubilee docks. We had such a relaxing time enjoying the pools, the incredible ocean views, and some world-class snorkeling right off the shore. ⚓️🌴

Snorkeling and Relaxation

Our day pass included all of our food and drinks, allowing us to relax without a worry. 🍹🌮 We spent the afternoon enjoying the pools and jumping into the ocean for some fantastic snorkeling in the crystal clear Caribbean water. For lunch, we enjoyed a full spread of delicious fajitas and nachos right by the water before making our way back to the ship.

Evening Fun on the Carnival Jubilee

The excitement continued once we were back on board. We headed over to ChiBang! for a delicious Chinese dinner. During our meal, we were treated to a surprise performance by dancing dragons, which was a huge highlight of the night! 🐉 To wrap up an amazing Day 3, we joined the crowd at Center Stage for the Lone Star Tailgate party. 🤠🎸

Carnival Jubilee Caribbean Cruise: Sea Day Fun & Formal Night - Day 2 Vlog

For our first sea day on the Carnival Jubilee, we had a full schedule of activities and entertainment. We started the morning by heading to Center Stage to watch “The Morning Wave” show being filmed live on board.

Sea Day Brunch & Afternoon Activities 🍳⛳️

We went for Sea Day Brunch in the Pacific Dining Room to start our morning. Afterward, we spent the afternoon enjoying the ship’s outdoor amenities, including a round of complimentary mini golf and some relaxation soaking in the sun on the lower decks. This was a great way to spend the afternoon at sea.

We capped off the night with plenty of entertainment, including the “Dear Future Husband” production show and some laughs at the Punchliner Comedy Club. It was a busy first day at sea from start to finish.
