Creator's Key Takeaways

We were very shocked and surprised by Carnival, especially the Jubilee.

Carnival really delivered. We talked about Emerald's Beastro that we didn't go to.

We would definitely do Carnival again. And by the way, we are already booked for Carnival again way in the future.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Try to get on the Bolt roller coaster early in the cruise to avoid weather closures.
Visit the sushi restaurant on the last day to avoid crowds.
Check out the tea time in the Atlantic dining room for a relaxing break.
