Done! Nice deal, thanks.

[@TexasbyStorm]

We were on the Dream last January. They had a "Tex-Mex" themed buffet. We were excited, love Tex-Mex. Went to the buffet, the option was pumpkin enchiladas. At that moment I knew that Carnival 100% would never know how to do "Texas." 😂😂

[@janine36]

Galveston is my home port. I live about 30 minutes from the port. If you live on the East coast, Galveston doesn’t make sense as a cruise port. We recently sailed on Harmony from Galveston. We spent a lot of time in the piano bar. One night the piano player said something about nobody being from Florida, and most of us responded with why would anyone from Florida sail out of Galveston. I do understand that people might want to hit an inaugural cruise out of Galveston, but generally speaking, it doesn’t seem worth it if you’re anywhere near Florida. Your cruise line options, ship options, and port options are much better.

[@leahlockettharris4579]

I agree, there is so much in Texas culture that would be an absolute fun vibe for a cruise. It’s so much easier to cruise out of Miami and Port Canaveral, the only way I would choose to go out of my way to cruise out of Galveston is an exceptionally unique experience.

[@topherjack2375]

Being a person who has lived in Texas my whole life and who sails with carnival, that blows that carnival really did miss the mark with this ship! Hopefully they can little by little make it into what it could truly be which is as great as the lone star state!!!

[@elmamorales7527]

Exactly !! I’m a Texan gal and love out state.

[@ourblazingworld]

they did have a tribute to texas item on every menu at every venue. For instance BBQ and TEX MEX pizza, at the pizza place, etc

[@topherjack2375]

@@ourblazingworld Well that’s a little better!

[@ricktaylor5397]

I totally agree with you about the lack of any Texas or Hispanic culture on the Galveston departures from CCL. I often cruise from Galveston, as it is the closest port to Colorado. It’s pretty ridiculous regarding CCL’s concept of the regional cuisine. Blue Iguana is good, but beyond that, their idea of regional cuisine is vegetarian enchiladas with black bean (ugh). No taco bar, no nachos,Nada. The BBQ may be good, if you’ve never had true BBQ. The Havana Bar on the Vista, now moved to Port Canaveral, had good Latin music, but it’s not on any of the remaining ships.

[@ourblazingworld]

there is a havana bar on the jubilee. Also a Guys pig and anchor bbq joint with an excellent band called the Backyard band that played lots of music Texans loved. There were plenty of tributes to Texas that a Texan would notice but others maynot because they never lived in Texas

[@trbstang]

They probably didn't want to "over Texas" the ship to avoid turning off some customers, I bet. Even as a lifelong Texan, I don't like too much as it can be too stereotyped. But they certainly should have put on some good Texas restaurants or options such as hill country BBQ and maybe something like the Pappas restaurants. But I can say I wish some ships would go places besides the same 3 ports to give us some variety.

[@davidbozeman1989]

It was awesome meeting you on board! Love your Channel and totally agree!!!

[@funtimeswithraynanci4596]

Thank You for The Review! However I would say that Galveston is a great port option for cruisers that live west of the Mississippi River. Also keep in mind Texas is Home To 3 Extremely Large MSA’s and it’s also a less expensive travel option for Cruisers coming from California, Colorado, AZ, Washington etc… Not to also mention most of middle America and The Great Plains Region. I agree if you live in Florida or on the east Coast you should definitely consider Florida over going to Texas unless just want to try somewhere different to cruise from. I’m hoping to see Galveston continue to make great strides and improvements. I When I Live in Dallas it was great to know you could make short 4 1/2-5 hr drive down to board the ship instead of flying to Florida or the east coast.

[@fedex1339]

Agreed . We live in Arizona have never sailed out of Florida. We usually sail out of LA this was a new option for us we loved it.

[@robertpullis]

We’ve sailed many times from Galveston, and the cruise terminal there was a weak link. Fortunately, Royal Caribbean built their own new terminal there, which is super efficient and easy to get through both on embarkation and disembarkation days. We also enjoy RCI as a cruise line far more than Carnival (which seems to provide a Walmart late at night atmosphere). But that’s the great thing about cruising; there’s a cruise line and ship that’s just perfect for you and your desired vacation. Thanks for your reviews allowing us all to choose our next cruise wisely.

[@primerc1112]

I really appreciate your honest reviews! And I agree, Florida has the best cruise ports!😊

I absolutely enjoy your videos. Keep doing what you're doing. Much needed for cruisers like myself.

[@apalogaming9004]

I have been on a carnival cruise out of Galveston many times before and it has always been smooth getting on and off the ship. However it doesn’t shocked me they struggled with the mega ship. The worst experience I have ever had at Galveston was on the Carnival Vista when getting off the ship last Christmas Eve as the tide was high and disembarkation was delayed by about 3 hours and we ended up getting off on deck 0. Wish I could have been there and glad to see you had fun despite the issues!

[@JasonAndGina]

Full support J keep up the great work 👍🏽🙏🏽

[@2luvjazz]

Great review J, I’ve heard the same issues from other influencers also. I did book a cruise on her but not till later this year, so hopefully Galveston will have their act together.

[@kendrapratt2098]

Ok, this is one of the most creative, entertaining sponsor messages I’ve seen on a video, what with the grocery store shots. Good job, J! I died at the 2010 dancing 🤣

[@kdh2484]

First of all, was great to meet you on the Jubilee... The embarkation was miles worse than the debarkation. Many people came first thing in the morning, even though they had much later check-in times. In addition, the staff calling the boarding groups, seemed confused, and that further added to the mess. It also didn’t help that the ribbon cutting ceremony happened at 10:15, creating large crowds in the waiting area. I do agree that Carnival could've added additional touches to separate the Jubilee from her sister ships. They did add unique items to the pizza place and sanwich shop that relates to Texas, and the Chef's table menu is completely unique to the Jubilee. The Carnival app itself was pretty glitchy. But, my internet was amazing. Best I've ever encountered at sea, and in many on-shore places. I actually really enjoyed "Dear Future Husband", except for the dance trends. The entertainment was pretty good, and i really enjoyed the cruise. Things could've been done better in some aspects. However, I think my experience of the cruise on a whole was awesome. Definitely one of my top cruises

[@jaybird2564]

Always appreciate the straightforward reviews :)

[@SIGCruiser]

Agreed. I live in Florida and waiting on the vlogs to see if there's any reason to add the cost of a flight to cruise on a new cruise, especially if it's the same ports.

[@TheDawgfathasBBQ]

Bro we went on the 2nd cruise on the Jubilee and you definitely hit it on the head!!! There wasn't much of a real "Texas" presence to us. I realize that Guy Fieri is a spokesperson or rather they use his likeness for the burgers and BBQ but bro this is TEXAS!!! We do BBQ and that Pig & Anchor aint it!!!!!! Get that Guy's burgers out of there and get some Whataburger too while you are at it! lol Best food on this ship in my opinion was the Chef's table, Street Eats and Bonsai. Outside of that, meh. Chibang was HORRIBLE for us. The wife got the shrimp diablo dish that was just WEIRD and had raw shrimp in it. It had 3 peppers on the menu for heat and had 0 heat to it at all. BIG miss for us. Sorry we missed you though brother. I was hoping to bump in to you at some point. And also on our trip the wifi was BAD!!! They'll get it all worked out though. Already booked our next trip! LOL!!!

[@debracartier2947]

Great review J!

[@mrs.logan926]

I sailed on carnival Venezia in September and it absolutely gave that Italian theme 👍🏽

[@rusamaryh1398]

As always, thanks for your honest review. I live in Cali and have sailed out of Galveston 3 times. It's less expensive for me to sail out of Galveston. For me there are 2 drawbacks to that. 1) It's far from the airports. Bush Intercontinental has way more flight oprions than Houston Hobby from my part of Cali. 2). The limited itineraries. I've done a 5-night sailing and 2 different 7 night itineraries, all of which included Cozumel. I am sailing out of Miami in May. My flight cost $814.00, compared to the 300-400 I typically spend flying into Texas. I want to experience one of the larger ships, and from this review and others, I've seen and read, I might need to sail out of Florida on the Madri Gras or Celebration Problem with that, my favorite CD Kyndall Fire is no longer on the Madri Gras but back in her homestate on the Jubilee, and the cost of the airfare. New York is less expensive, but the reviews for the Venezia are mixed with more leaning towards the negative.

[@JoeHusosky]

Went out of Galveston on allure of the Sea this June for the first time and found it to be very easy both embarkation and debargation. Since it was a new terminal designed since all the changes of the digital age, they had no permanent desks. Everything was just standing in the new line that they created with the turn styles so they were able to adjust for the size of the crowd.

[@sarahclick4280]

Great video!! Galveston is my home, and my entire ....everything is dependent on tourism, so it sucks we let you down! I've only ever sailed out of Galveston and my last few have been on Vista, getting off the ship to go home has always been an absolute poopshow. I just expect it, and it seems like everytime there is an "excuse rumor" (computers are down, passport readers are offline) that's all BS, it's just a crapshow, not sure why they haven't figured that out yet. I have seen quite a few nods to Galveston on the ship, but from the videos I've seen, I agree, as far as Texas goes, they let us down. Thank you for such a great video, I'm not going until November, but I've been watching everyone's videos because I sprang for an aft excel suite so I'm trying to get myself STOKED about it. I've never been impressed with any of the entertainment on Carnival, so I am 100% happy to lay on my balcony and catch up on some much needed sleep for my 7 days away from Galveston. I wish more people would come down a day early and experience the island, most folks fall in love with our character. 😁

[@dennishicks6382]

I agree with you on the venues being too small on the xl ships. I also agree with not wanting to do inaugural sailings because shows are not ready. I went the Wonder the 3rd sailing and there was not a show at all

[@jenbrooks5872]

Thank you for the as always, honest review. We are thinking of trying to cruise out of New Orleans. Would be fun to spend a week there then cruise. I wonder if it would be like Galveston? Lol. Anyway, appreciate your honest opinions. As we think somewhat alike, these reviews really help. I hope too see lots more content in 24 on all of your channels!

[@MrWatlow]

Would have liked to have met you in Galveston. We were on the Dream. We sailed out of the terminal that the Jubilee uses and returned in the other terminal when we got back. Both going and returning were very smooth for us. We will sail on the Jubilee in a few weeks and hope the ship and port of Galveston get their act together. AS FAR AS KIDS GO…… Yes you are spot on correct about them. On the Carnival Dream they were running wild like feral dogs. They tore up the Christmas decorations on our cabin door and even after 5 calls to security, not one security guard ever responded. The kids were running down our hallway on deck 12 which leads to the sauna and they were in there getting it on. I would not be shocked if some of the parents who let their kids run wild became grandparents on this cruise. They will figure it out in about 9 months. Sorry you weren’t able to have any family with you on this cruise but I sincerely appreciate your content and the effort you put into your videos. Hope you have an amazing New Year 🎉!!!!

[@rugdg1313]

So do you think that the Texas tie-in was the last minute thing? Seems like they just built a standard issue ship and they did a... Wallpaper / skin themeing over the top of it. Easy changes just in case they need to take the ship and send it somewhere else

[@brennasigman]

That's what I was thinking! I mean, they took Vista out of Texas for Jubilee. They may just be thinking ahead 😉.

[@carole334]

I was on your sailing, and it was a pleasure meeting you. Your review is pretty accurate, and we thought the same for some things. The pizza could have been called Texas Slice. The Golden Mermaid could have been called a saloon. But, since the ship had an underwater theme, it fit. We never saw the kids running amuck, and there were lots of them. But the next week for New Years was a different story. Less kids, and they did run amuck. Overall, our two weeks onboard were enjoyable, and the crew was outstanding.

[@audreyrose1694]

Cozumel is also my favorite port! And I agree, I don’t think I would ever want to do an inaugural cruise just because of all the different things they have to work out. It’s like going to a restaurant on the first day they open.

[@angelma4241]

I saw you a couple of times around the ship and noticed now we were in the same areas at the same time. I actually enjoyed the productions, especially the fiesta show. They were all leaps and bounds over the shows on some of the smaller ships. Weirdly enough my debarkation went very well. We were off the ship in less than 10 minutes. I, of course, didn’t wait for the elevators (a mess!). We just walked down the stairs. Once off the ship… it was very quick. The line for passports was empty so we breezed by the much longer BC line and picked up our bags. I too was a little upset as I watched the aerialist practice for a show that we wouldn’t see. Guess I’ll have to book another cruise 😅

I did a West Med sailing on the Meravilglia back in 2018 and it was the worst cruise I have ever been on. The ship was stunning, no doubt, but all the common complaints that plague them today were even an issue back then. I just didn't do enough research and let the price be the factor on my decision to book. Lesson learned for me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@FastEDismo]

I loved seeing Kyndall Fyre she is the best cruise director. As for the port of Galveston. It's my favorite port. The down side is it's far from Houston and the drink package doesn't start until the 2nd day. On the positive it's closer to the southern Caribbean so you get an extra port or 2 on your cruise.

[@mandywalker3393]

One thing I want to add. J keeps saying to book dining venues when you first get on board. You CAN book them BEFORE you board. Just keep your excursions in mind. we booked the steak house, the chef's table (which was cancelled BOO) ahead of time. As well as our excursions. ahead of time

[@John-lc7fq]

It was nice meeting you onboard. Watched you a few times around the ship especially in the Serenity area and the lido deck at the main pool.

[@gametheory1012]

Great post my man! You are so right regarding the marketing opportunity missed. It's as if it was so on all levels and probably, Jubilee was place there as an afterthought. But this is something that needs to go up the flagpole for those in charge for running Galveston as well as the brass at Carnival. Give this ship and the area a deeply embraced Texas theme to entice visitors from other states to not only enjoy Galveston today, but maybe come back another time.

I was on the new year cruise for Jubilee and security was on point with the curfew. And for me, it is more convenient for me since I live in Texas, to sail out of Texas. If I can sail to a port of call from Texas, then I refuse to cruise from another port! But I have cruised from Florida and are willing to cruise from other ports because I can’t get to all the stops that I want to go to from Texas.

Hey J. Thanks for the heads up about the 2 airports into Houston. Well don’t know what they do about the design and Texas decor now; but aren’t inaugural’s usually working out the kinks and not fully rehearsed and prepared? Hopefully that will resolve soon. Are kids running amuck at 3 am Carnivals fault or the parents? Parents need to be addressed to manage their children. Well for the thousands everyone is paying for the Icon inaugural; good luck.

[@TxGambler77]

As a tx resident who can drive to Galveston from DFW in 5 hrs, it really is a beating to sail from there. And Jay, there is no incentive for you to sail from there because there are no ports that are not accessible from FL. In fact, the biggest problem sailing from Galveston is that no matter which cruise like you choose, they all go to the same 5 ports

[@maryphillips5863]

We were on 2nd and 3rd sailing. The WIFI was still cutting out and there was no sign of the Cirque du Soleil style intertainment! I agree that the ship, though lovely, was very generic. Still can't beat the Carnival crew. Even though there were far fewer kids onboard by the 3rd week ( thanks to school) it's still a very crowded ship. And though there are more elevators, those elevators are quite small and often very crowded. Which brings me to the reason we went home a week early...we caught Covid on the ship toward the end of the 2nd week of our trip. I started feeling bad, thought I had a cold, figured I was contagious so we decided to head home. Tested when i got home and was positive for Covid. Yes, we had the shots. No, we didn't wear masks ( which I noticed quite a few people doing...smart people). There are a lot of people who won't cancel a much anticipated trip just because they feel a little bad ( even if they know they're contagious). So just be smart in very crowded conditions...my bad! And yes, I'm sailing again as soon as I'm all clear.

[@Canuck1000]

I think most ships that sail from Galveston are only there for one season (a few months). Hence, I am sure it will be too expensive to change the names of restaurants (and the menus) just for a few months for example. For Carnival. I believe most of the restaurants are the same on all their ships (Guy's Burger, etc.). I have sailed twice from Galveston since we live about three hours away. The disembarkment went well back in January 2019. However, the ship was smaller (Freedom I believe). In Galveston, the main issue is related to reserving your parking, which can be complex and costly. There are many different lot owners/companies. As you mentioned, passengers don't fly there. Therefore, most travel by car to the port.

@@texasboykc09 Thanks for the info. I am aware that the Galveston's port is becoming more popular and is currently expanding. When I was on the Elation five years ago, the crew told us that they were moving ports in March of that year (before we knew about Covid) and they would be sailing through the Panama Canal. Even if the ships are staying longer (two or three years), I don't see any of companies spending money to fully make them as a Texas ship.

I’ve watched other Videos about The theme and they are referred to the theme as intentionally being Ocean/beach type and not specific to Texas thus the reason for the limited Texas decorations and entertainment. They ship is beautiful!

Carnival needs to do a new terminal in Galveston like Royal Caribbean did before they brought in the giant ships.
