Carnival Celebration (sister ship to Carnival Jubilee) The Carnival Jubilee is scheduled to enter service later this month (December 2023). Before the ship arrives in Galveston for its first cruise, there are a few scheduled stops the ship will be making in Europe and the ship will make the multi-day Atlantic Ocean crossing. This post shares the tentative timeline that Carnival released for the Carnival Jubilee's month of December. John Heald, Carnival's Brand Ambassador, released the tentative timeline of the Carnival Jubilee for the December 3-20th timeframe. This is subject to change at any time due to operational factors such as weather on the Transatlantic crossing!
Approximate December Scheduled Itinerary For Carnival Jubilee:
December 3, 2023
The Carnival Jubilee is scheduled to sail from Eemshaven to Bremerhaven, Germany.
December 4, 2023
The delivery of the ship will occur in Bremerhaven, Germany.
December 10, 2023
The ship is scheduled to be in Tenerife. According to John Heald, this time will be used for fuel, stores, and more.
December 17, 2023
The Carnival Jubilee is tentatively scheduled to be in Nassau, Bahamas. This stop is still to be confirmed per John Heald.
December 20, 2023
The Carnival Jubilee is scheduled to arrive in Galveston, Texas. According to John Heald, the time of arrival will be communicated closer as weather is a huge factor when doing Transatlantic crossings.
It is not yet clear if the Carnival Jubilee will remain in Galveston until its first cruise on December 23rd. All three of Galveston's cruise terminals are scheduled to be in use on Friday, December 22nd by the Carnival Dream, Regal Princess, and Norwegian Prima so the Carnival Jubilee will probably either dock elsewhere in the port or go out to sea.
December 23, 2023
The Carnival Jubilee departs Galveston! The ports of call on this cruise are scheduled to be Mahogany Bay (Roatan), Honduras, Costa Maya, and Cozumel. This is also the Christmas cruise!
December 30, 2023
The Carnival Jubilee's first cruise from Galveston ends and the ship departs on another cruise! This cruise is the New Year's Eve cruise and has scheduled port of call stops in Mahogany Bay (Roatan), Honduras, Costa Maya, and Cozumel.

As of the time of writing, there is not a webcam available on the Carnival Jubilee. Carnival ships generally have not had webcams available online since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.
