Carnival Cruises

Stateroom Accommodation
Design is more than just the way things look — it's as much about how they work. And staterooms aboard Carnival Jubilee™ are packed with innovative changes to both. It's the way the ring-lit vanity mirror lights you evenly and shadow-free as you get ready. How the ottoman cushion flips over to serve as an extra table. And even those reading lights, recessed into the wall so you can read in bed without waking anyone! These details are really more than just details. Better comfort, lighting and storage all spring from a deep understanding we've developed around how people actually use their staterooms… and how small changes to the room add up to make the experience that much better. (Enough USB charging ports for everybody’s stuff? Oh yes!) Thoughtful, guest-centric design is how we do it… and all this in-room convenience comes paired with a fresh new look.
Dining on-board
The main dining room will be on deck 6 and 7, the Pacific Restaurant will feature all the usual carnival favourites. The new ship will have a distinctive ocean theme “Currents†and “Shores†in two neighborhoods, with immersive décor and artwork emphasizing the nautical nature of the new ship. Currents will be the theme on Decks 6 and 7, a transformative space that brings guests below the waves and into fun underwater worlds with huge LED windows, a wave-shaped LED ceiling, theatrical show lighting, and captivating sound design for a truly immersive experience just aft of Grand Central.
