Carnival Cruise Line's 2023 newbuild, the Carnival Jubilee, is under construction at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Germany. The Carnival Jubilee is one of Carnival's Excel class ships and is a sister ship to the Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration. The Carnival Jubilee's homeport will be Galveston, Texas starting in December 2023 as the ship is coming to Galveston to replace Carnival Vista. Carnival posted the Carnival Jubilee's deck plans which include some virtual tours of some of the ship's public areas and some photo renderings. Once the ship enters service and has completed cruises, I am sure we will see many Carnival Jubilee cruise reviews with pictures, but at this time Carnival has given us some virtual tours of a few public areas to enjoy.
Viewing these virtual tours is extremely easy. I will give you a step by step tutorial on how to find these virtual tours on Carnival's website:
1) Go to Carnival Cruise Line's official website. The Carnival Jubilee has its own separate ship page & profile that contains a variety of photos, information, deck plans, and more. To make this easy on you, here is a direct link to this page: https://www.carnival.com/cruise-ships/carnival-jubilee.aspx (Link will open in a separate window)
2) Once you are on the Carnival Jubilee's page on the Carnival website look for a page called "Deck Plans". When this first comes up you may have to click another button that says "View Deck Plans". If this is the case for you click on "View Deck Plans". When you have the screen below appear you will be in the right place:

3) After you have entered the deck plans, you should see a list of all of the Carnival Jubilee's decks. Choose a deck that has many public areas. There are some decks that only have staterooms.
4) When you click on the deck of your choice, it should appear. You can zoom in using a scroll bar at the bottom of the deck plan. Find a public area with a red circle that has a white cross in it. This means that you are able to see more on this public area. Click on that red circle and a little pop-up should open that pertains to that area. At the bottom of this little pop-up you should see "Images" and "360-View". Click on the "360 View" to view the virtual tour. If "360 view" is not listed, that probably means this area of the ship has no virtual tour available, but you can still see a rendering of the public space.
