Creator's Key Takeaways

hi my name is Lance welcome to the NOG we just boarded the carnival Jubilee sailing out of galston Texas we are excited for 7even days on this ship

it's the shortest day of your cruise and it's probably the most important we wanted to share with you our tips and tricks to have a successful sailing

get your mustard drill done for any firsttime Cruisers out there your mustard drill is a quick safety briefing that every passenger must attend before it can sail away

we love to attend the playlist production on our Carnival Cruises so while we're scrolling through the Hub app for each day of the sailing we go and heart or favorite all those performances

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Complete the muster drill as soon as you board.
โœ“Connect to the ship's Wi-Fi and explore the Hub app for 20-30 minutes to sign up for activities.
โœ“Book the Bolt coaster early in your sailing.
โœ“Check the main dining room menus and book specialty restaurants on days with less appealing main dining options.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We try to knock out most of the things on this list every boarding day because by doing them they set up the rest of our cruise to be the best it can be. Of course everyone cruises for different reasons, and as such will have slightly different intentions on boarding day, but we feel our list is a great place to start for any new cruisers out there. These are slanted towards Carnival cruises and the Jubilee or really any Excel class of ship, but most can be applied to any Carnival ship or correlated to similar things found on other cruise lines, as well. 0:00 Why we think these are good to know 0:43 Muster drill first 1:30 HUB App & special reservations 2:26 Know the entertainment schedule for the sailing 3:37 Make plan of attack for dining each night 4:18 Grab a Guy's Burger for lunch 4:38 Visit the MDR or Maitre D' if needed 5:28 Enjoy Fun Ship drink or two (or five) 5:51 Explore the places you will visit often 6:46 Visit the kids' clubs 8:25 Take a spa tour 8:57 Check out your room 10:04 Try to win something at all the kiosks 10:29 Sail away, sail away 11:37 Take in the sights of leaving port 12:17 Duck hunt! 12:41 Pre-dinner drinks 13:01 Attend the first night intro shows 14:21 Long day, but worth the efforts #carnivalcruise #cruise #jubilee #carnivaljubilee If you enjoy the video please smash the LIKE button and also SUBSCRIBE for more videos!
