In our latest video, we take a deep dive into our experience, sharing our honest “Likes and Wishes” to help you decide if this is the right ship for your next vacation. 🌊

Breaking Down the Jubilee

To make things easy, we’ve organized our review into four key areas:

  • Layout & Amenities: From the stunning three-story Center Stage atrium to the Serenity Adult Only Retreat, we explore how the ship is designed and where to find the best spots to relax. 🏗️
  • Ocean View Cabin (Deck 4): We take you inside our stateroom (Cabin 4293). We talk about the modern design, the storage space, and what it’s actually like staying on the lowest passenger deck. 🛌
  • Complimentary Dining: We didn’t just eat; we explored! We review the massive variety of free food, including Guy’s Burger Joint, Shaq’s Big Chicken, and the delicious included options at Chabang and Cucina del Capitano. 🍔🍕
  • Entertainment & Activities: This is where the Jubilee really shines! We dive into the high-energy deck parties like the 80s Rock & Glow and the White Hot Night. Plus, we review the incredible production shows, from the “Universal Studios” vibe of Soulbound to the beautiful aerial acts in Celestial Strings. It’s some of the best entertainment we’ve ever seen at sea! 🎭✨

Whether you’re already booked or still dreaming, this review covers the hits and the misses of the newest ship in the fleet.

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. 🤠🎸
