Carnival Jubilee, a 5,400-passenger cruise ship, is set to embark on its maiden voyage on December 23rd from Galveston, Texas. This state-of-the-art vessel is promising to revolutionize the cruise experience for kids and teens with its new and reimagined offerings. From interactive LED technology to themed play areas, Carnival Jubilee is pulling out all the stops to ensure an unforgettable adventure at sea.
In the Currents zone, children will be captivated by the magic of LED technology. The walls and ceiling of this zone feature “portholes” that transform into virtual aquariums, allowing kids to design their own sea creatures and watch as they come to life. Additionally, in collaboration with the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Carnival Jubilee has introduced a space wall inside Camp Ocean. Young cruisers can now imagine themselves as astronauts, piloting their own spacecraft. The LED screen on the space wall creates an authentic dashboard-like experience for the little space enthusiasts.
Planet Play at Sea, a space-themed toddler playground, will be a new addition to Carnival Jubilee’s already impressive lineup of attractions. Inspired by the popular play experience at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, this themed playground will transport toddlers into a world of imagination and exploration. With age-appropriate activities and stimulating play structures, Planet Play at Sea will be a hit among the youngest travelers.
Carnival Jubilee aims to cater to its teenage guests as well. As part of the See The World program already available across the fleet, this ship will introduce expanded offerings to keep teens engaged and entertained. To celebrate the culture of the Philippines, the Panagbenga Festival has been meticulously developed, complete with a flower parade and a jewelry-making activity for teens in Club O2 and Circle C. This immersive experience is designed to foster cultural appreciation and provide a unique opportunity for young cruisers to connect with diverse traditions.
For those who love staying up late, Carnival Jubilee presents the Night Owls Camp Out. This themed program ensures that the fun doesn’t end once the sun sets. With activities inspired by outdoor camping such as cornhole, fort building, and obstacle courses, Night Owls Camp Out offers teens the opportunity to enjoy traditional camp experiences on board the ship. Singing songs around a “campfire” and participating in competitions, crafts, dance parties, and giveaways will make the night a memorable one for all participants.
The popular Dr. Seuss Breakfast is getting a fresh makeover on Carnival Jubilee. Led by Thing 1 and Thing 2, the new theme for this whimsical meal will center around a birthday celebration that embraces individuality. Along with new menu items, there will be engaging activities and lively music to create an unforgettable experience for Dr. Seuss fans. This revamped breakfast will eventually be implemented throughout the Seuss at Sea programming on Carnival’s fleet.
Beginning February 17th, the Seuss-a-palooza Parade on Carnival Jubilee will welcome a new character: Fox in Socks. This beloved Dr. Seuss character will join other favorites in a colorful and immersive parade experience. The LED screens along the walls and ceiling of the ship’s Currents zone will bring the whimsical scenes to life, creating an enchanting underwater world inspired by Dr. Seuss. To add to the excitement, Seuss-a-palooza Story Time will now feature the timeless classic “Green Eggs & Ham,” hosted by the ship’s cruise director.
In an effort to prioritize child safety, Carnival Jubilee will deploy facial-recognition technology in the ship’s youth area. This innovative feature aims to ensure that only authorized adults can access and interact with children on board. By matching the faces of children with pre-approved adults, this advanced technology provides an extra layer of security and peace of mind for parents and guardians.
With its groundbreaking amenities and experiences, Carnival Jubilee promises to elevate the cruise experience for kids, teens, and families. From interactive LED technology to themed play areas and revamped Dr. Seuss offerings, this ship is set to impress even the most discerning young travelers. Whether exploring the depths of the ocean or venturing into outer space, Carnival Jubilee provides endless opportunities for imagination, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
