Comparing Galveston's Biggest Cruise Ship Rivals: Carnival Jubilee vs. Harmony of The Seas

7/17/2022

 
Galveston Texas Cruise Port and HarborLeaving The Port of Galveston
     The Carnival Jubilee and Harmony of the Seas are both scheduled to start sailing from Galveston in 2023. For Carnival Cruise Line, the Carnival Jubilee will be the largest Carnival ship sailing from Galveston and for Royal Caribbean the Harmony of the Seas will be the largest Royal Caribbean ship to sail from Galveston. This post will give some basic comparison information about the Carnival Jubilee and Harmony of the Seas. 
             Although both ships are large and have numerous amenities, the Harmony of the Seas is a little larger in terms of length and gross tonnage. However, the Carnival Jubilee is a newer ship. Both ships are large in size and have a variety of different amenities and types of staterooms. This post is intended to be a starting point on comparing the two ships. I highly recommend doing further research on each cruise line's website for further information about the amenities, attractions, and dining that each ship offers.
