I was on the same sailing as Jason and Alisa. The ship did not feel crowded at all. We did not go to the Sail Away because we didn’t want to be in a very crowded area. I agree with Jason. The room was very hot at night. The bed was very uncomfortable. Our steward added an extra duvet to soften it up. Other than that, the rooms are very nice and the ship was wonderful. We had a great time! Our cruise director was amazing and the employees were the best.
Jason snapping his chin with the elastic on his New Years Eve hat was priceless. Reminds me of doing it with Haloween masks as a kid. Those porthole looking screens looked so neat and should thrill the children.
Man it was great to run in to you guys on the Lido guys! Lots of great info in this video. Sums up the ship offerings pretty well. Being a BBQ guy, I'm not a fan of the Pig & Anchor BBQ at all. Not a BBQ snob at all but I've had way too much BBQ to classify this as "BBQ." lol I think the best food on the ship was the Chef's table and Bonsai sushi! We LOVED the sushi! We were also told that there was close to 3000 casino offer guests on board which had them totally killing the casino for the rest of us. Street eats we absolutely LOVED!!! This was the calmest I'd ever seen the gulf be on ANY of our cruises. Day 6 was a little rougher but still not horrible at all... Wish we could've spent more time hanging out with you guys but we did spend a lot of time in the Thermal Suites. Absolutely a chilled cruise for us. Happy New Year to you guys and many more blessings your way...
We love Bonsai sushi as well, and we also heard a lot of complaints about how full the casino was! Fortunately we don’t gamble…lol! It was great meeting you too my friend! Don’t be a stranger 👍
We were on the same sailing. ( and actually made the video at 4:05) The ship is huge but after the initial embarkation day, it didn't feel crowded. I agree with Jason the cabin does seem smaller than the other carnival balcony cabins we have been in. I also didn't care for the night light in the bathroom, and I didn't think to pull the card at the door to see if that light would also go out until we got back home.🤣🤣
Love it! We were on the Carnival Valor out if New Orleans for New Years. It was our first New Years cruise but it won’t be our last!! It was an absolute blast 🚢🪩🎆
Looks amazing! Can’t wait to sail on the Jubilee one day. The chicken is yummy! Had it on the Celebration and in Disney Springs. Looks like you guys had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing!
@@EECCTravels what is your next adventure? Anything exciting? I know you told me you have a trip in Feb. just saw your video from the beach at Roatán and myself on the video and thank you for allowing me to make a cameo. Hope to stay in touch and hope all goes well when you have that talk with your son.
Ty for all your hard work and videos .. that being said I would go on a small ship any day over the new huge ships . I like to feel of smaller less crowded ships 😊
Great video as always beautiful ship but too big I couldn’t take all those people. I’m great you had fun and happy new year to both of you. Love your video.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤🛳️🦩⚓️
We sailed Valor out of N.O. in September and not for one second on the whole cruise did we feel the ship moving...the sea was calm as glass then entire way!
I just got off of the Jubilee on Saturday. It's a beautiful ship, but there were sooo many people. I know that's great for Carnivals finances but it can be a challenge for some cruisers.
Happy New Year Jason and Alisa, a great way to end your 2023 travels. The ship had a lot of people, it looked so crowded. Anyway, you had a great time and that's important. It is a beautiful ship. Thanks for taking us on your trips, I enjoyed your videos. Looking forward to more travels in 2024. Be Blessed.😊
I have a fix for uncomfortable sheets or not good soft take some dryer sheets, your favorite ones damp in it pull your sheets back or and wipe it down or just take you a little spray bottle with some Downey, or whatever you use and pull your sheets back, spritz it really goodfirst thing in the morning do the bottom and do the top and then lay the top sheet back over and spritz the top of the sheet and do that for like a couple of nights and it will smell good but it will soften up your sheets
Great video guys! Cant wait to see the full review. We havent sailed on an XL class ship yet, were seeing alot of comments about how the XL ships are too crowded. Our daughter has special needs and gets overwhelmed with big crowds so we are a little weary.
Another great video! It was cool to see myself in one of your videos. I can mark it off my bucket list, lol. You weren't lying about the casino being packed either. It wasn't until day 3 that i finally got to play. Happy New Year! 🎉
Was on the Celebration a few months back and had the same annoying issue with bathroom light at night. My room MUST be dark for me to sleep. I figured out a way to slowly move and hold the switch to where it would stay in the middle position so the light would be completely off.
Thank you for sharing this NYE video. I will be sailing on my first NYE cruise this year (2024). I was curious about how the evening played out. More excited now than ever! Happy New Year to you both!
I’m not mistaking I remember when you open the balcony door it off the air-conditioning. At the bottom of the thermostat there is a snowflake looking button. If you tap it, the blue light will come on and it’s called Arctic cool down and it will cool your room off faster.
Dang I hate that. We always hit the premium interior cabin. It’s the exact same size of cabin that you guys are in but no balcony. We do that because of the heat we freeze on the interior.
So I was wondering if you can send me information about carnival Jubilee please because my mom and I go on cruises together and she would love information on that ship and see where that ship goes
Think about it. We're so blessed. How happy we are as american. We're living in a great nation. Look at Ukraine people, they don't know when the bang coming to their house God blessed you all
We were on the first sailing and really didn't enjoy it. Kyndall Fyre was the only thing that was genuinely awesome about this ship. We will try again because it was clear that some of the issues were related to everything and everyone being new to this ship.
According to Carnival’s deck plan, the ship has a double occupancy capacity of 5374. That number doesn’t include third or fourth passengers in a stateroom. It also doesn’t include the 1735 crew.
Kindle Fire knows how to hype up a crowd and has put together an awesome Fun Squad, cause she had us rock in on the Mandi Gra! I just might have to visit the Jubilee. Thanks for sharing.

I really like this couple, they do a little bit of everything!
Yep! Variety is the spice of life 😃
I don’t want the year to go by fast but also can’t wait to board 12/28/24
Welcome to my Hometown! I live like 45 minutes to an hour from Galveston.
My brother and Sister in law and kids went on the first sailing of that ship.
Jason, I find if I close my eyes, the lights go out. 😊

We are in key west right now. So glad to be out of the cold for 3 months.
Beautiful ship, but TOO many people!!! Happy Healthy New Year to you both and have a good time.
Keeping curtains closed will help with temperature
Best cruise video out rn tbh, every other cruise video is badly edited with poor camera. Good job ! Keep it up!
Been waiting for a video from you guys!
Loved the Jubilee! So nice to get to meet you both on the ship. We really never felt like it was too crowded. Will sail on Jubilee again!

I was on this sailing too!!! I see a few family members in the video 😊
Happy New Year guys 🎉🎉🎉
Happy new year!!
Happy New Year's 🎉 That ship needs to be bigger with the amount of people on it.
It really wasn’t too crowded! Even to get food, the lines went pretty quickly. We had a great time. ❤
We Taking carvinal sprite next year from.seattle to Hawaii
Love it! We were on the Carnival Valor out if New Orleans for New Years. It was our first New Years cruise but it won’t be our last!! It was an absolute blast 🚢🪩🎆
I didn’t like the bathroom light situation either and you’re right about the balcony room, vet narrow.
We will be on the Jubilee February 17 so excited
Looks amazing! Can’t wait to sail on the Jubilee one day. The chicken is yummy! Had it on the Celebration and in Disney Springs. Looks like you guys had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing!
Great meeting you Jason and your wife at Roatan by the beach. Hope to bump into you again in another cruise had a great time chatting. From Herman
Hey Herman it was cool chatting with you too man!! Hope to see you again my friend!!
@@EECCTravels what is your next adventure? Anything exciting? I know you told me you have a trip in Feb. just saw your video from the beach at Roatán and myself on the video and thank you for allowing me to make a cameo. Hope to stay in touch and hope all goes well when you have that talk with your son.
Great job EECC of filming we really value your opinions of the Jubilee. Cruising her in October. Looking forward to your next video
Happy New Year to you and Jason. We watch you channel a lot from Canada Alberta.
Hahaha Jason snapping his chin was funny!! Happy New Year!
Ty for all your hard work and videos .. that being said I would go on a small ship any day over the new huge ships . I like to feel of smaller less crowded ships 😊
Java blue is the secret spot to grab food!
Glad you made it sorry we missed you.
Thanks for the video.
Can’t wait to see where y’all take us in 2024! Happy New Year!!
Awe thank you! Happy New Year!

Alisa, you've GOT to tell us your skincare secrets!!!
Nothing special. I wear little to no makeup and I use a moisturizer at night and in the morning. Thanks for this comment 😃
That was fun to watch!!!! Happy 2024🍾🥂
Jason doesn't seem to be favoring his shoulder any longer, is he back to 100%
He is!!! And he’s so happy about that!
@@EECCTravels No more Flowrider unless he is in one of those Sumo wrestler costumes.
Thanks for the tour🤗
We loved meeting y’all! It is a beautiful ship!
First
Love your videos
Omg can’t wait!! It looks just like the Mardi Gras and Celebration!! I’m excited.
Yes! Pretty much identical, just themed a bit differently.
Booked for April 13
Thank you!!
Great video as always beautiful ship but too big I couldn’t take all those people. I’m great you had fun and happy new year to both of you. Love your video.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤🛳️🦩⚓️
Loved sharing the cruise with you! Hello too, Robin and Steve!
I am planning on going on this ship next Month, this review and all your reviews really help alot. I am booking a Havanna balcony room.
What a great video! Thank you for sharing New Years with us. ❤
Can't wait to sail this ship! Great video as always!!!
Great video guys - I could never go on a ship that busy
What a fabulous way to spend New Year’s Eve! I’m really liking the look of the new carnival ship very nice! ❤
Happy New Year! Thanks for the video!
Sorry we missed ya! H-town in da house!
Cool 🎉video. Great way celebrate
What fun!!! That looks like a beautiful ship. Loving the coastal vibes. Happy New Year Alisa and Jason. Many Blessings for 2024!!!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Happy new year!!
Happy New Year Jason & Alisa Carnival threw a great party it looks like so much fun!!!
Happy new year!! It really was a great time!
Looks like a beautiful ship. Would hate the long line-ups, to many people. Nice video, great New Year party. Happy New Year, all the best. Cheers!!
Y’all have to be on more! Such fun to watch
Love You Two! Happy New Year 🎉
Alisa, I haven’t seen/ watched a video from you since your Disney cruise with your girls. You’re looking good!💋
Welcome back! We did so much last year if you have time to catch up. And thank you 😊
I feel like on Texas based ships the casino is definitely going to be packed since gambling is illegal here in the state of Texas. 😂
We sailed Valor out of N.O. in September and not for one second on the whole cruise did we feel the ship moving...the sea was calm as glass then entire way!
Hey guys, thank you so much for this video, it was awesome and we will be there Feb 3rd
Have fun!
I just got off of the Jubilee on Saturday. It's a beautiful ship, but there were sooo many people. I know that's great for Carnivals finances but it can be a challenge for some cruisers.
Happy new year looking forward to your 2024 aventures,very beautiful ship but to many guest for me .
The fully and honest descriptive food reviews are VERY helpful. Thanks
26:16 "So if you want to bring your own beverages on board you can" Alisa can you elaborate on this please?
Yes! Each person can bring a 12 pack of canned nonalcoholic beverages onboard.
Great video! What room were you guys in, please?
I think you can take off the nightlight coming from the bathroom by removing your stateroom card from the slot.
Yes the cabin steward confirmed this. But I am always afraid we will need a light for some reason and then not be able to turn any on.
@@EECCTravels True. Someone also suggested stuffing towels under the door. Not perfect. But, I guess it works
🎉 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉
Great video, loved the new years coutdown coverage. I really need to do a New Years cruise one day.
It was our first and we really enjoyed it! 💥
Happy New Year Jason and Alisa, a great way to end your 2023 travels. The ship had a lot of people, it looked so crowded. Anyway, you had a great time and that's important. It is a beautiful ship. Thanks for taking us on your trips, I enjoyed your videos. Looking forward to more travels in 2024. Be Blessed.😊
So bring some black electrical tape to put over the night light - got it. 👍🏻👍🏻
I have a fix for uncomfortable sheets or not good soft take some dryer sheets, your favorite ones damp in it pull your sheets back or and wipe it down or just take you a little spray bottle with some Downey, or whatever you use and pull your sheets back, spritz it really goodfirst thing in the morning do the bottom and do the top and then lay the top sheet back over and spritz the top of the sheet and do that for like a couple of nights and it will smell good but it will soften up your sheets
Great video guys! Cant wait to see the full review. We havent sailed on an XL class ship yet, were seeing alot of comments about how the XL ships are too crowded. Our daughter has special needs and gets overwhelmed with big crowds so we are a little weary.
There are times, like sail away, when it’s crowded but other than that everyone spreads out. We really didn’t feel crowded.
We are on now with you guys, but have t seen you at all! ❤
We are floating around. The ship is just so big!
Another great video! It was cool to see myself in one of your videos. I can mark it off my bucket list, lol. You weren't lying about the casino being packed either. It wasn't until day 3 that i finally got to play. Happy New Year! 🎉
That’s so cool that you saw yourself in the video 😃
What is the brown sunglasses you have on? They are awesome!
I got them on Temu 😀
Was on the Celebration a few months back and had the same annoying issue with bathroom light at night. My room MUST be dark for me to sleep. I figured out a way to slowly move and hold the switch to where it would stay in the middle position so the light would be completely off.
I took one of the towels and laid it standing on its side across the bottom of the door which blocked most of the light. It was so annoying!
Great video ❤❤❤❤
Okay, the facial filter is smoothing out Jason’s face too much and making him look like Tim Allen’s Santa Claus. 😅
No idea… no facial filter is used 😂
Happy Nee Year to yall! Which restaurant did y’all get the pepperoni pizza waffle fries from at the 18:30 mark???
From Street Eats. They have a different flavor each day.
Awesome video !!
What cabin did y'all have ?
I will be on the Jubilee 4/6.❤
We had a standard balcony 8A (cabin 9279)
Thank you for sharing this NYE video. I will be sailing on my first NYE cruise this year (2024). I was curious about how the evening played out. More excited now than ever! Happy New Year to you both!
Carnival knows how to throw a NYE party!
Was Kyndall on Fire? 💥🔥
Yup!! 😃
I’m not mistaking I remember when you open the balcony door it off the air-conditioning. At the bottom of the thermostat there is a snowflake looking button. If you tap it, the blue light will come on and it’s called Arctic cool down and it will cool your room off faster.
Yes we pushed the snowflake… still hot in the cabin 🥲
Dang I hate that. We always hit the premium interior cabin. It’s the exact same size of cabin that you guys are in but no balcony. We do that because of the heat we freeze on the interior.
Don’t wear the new car smell off. I’ll be on her on the 27th.😊
So I was wondering if you can send me information about carnival Jubilee please because my mom and I go on cruises together and she would love information on that ship and see where that ship goes
was it impossible to get a lounge chair on sea days? were the staff good at monitoring people who were trying to mass reserve chair ?
Actually there are so many chairs between decks 16-18 there were always plenty of empty loungers!!
Can't wait until we sail but not until February 2026. We're doing a superbowl cruise 🎉
Oh that will be fun! The playoffs we on last weekend and they showed all of the games.
What room category is this? 8C I'll be on the jubilee starting January 13
We booked a guaranteed balcony and this was an 8A that we were assigned. They are all the same (A-G) it’s just the location that is different.
What type of room? Havana, spa?
Bathroom looks bigger than the one we had on our cove balcony on the Mardi Gras.
We have a standard balcony cabin.
Think about it. We're so blessed. How happy we are as american. We're living in a great nation. Look at Ukraine people, they don't know when the bang coming to their house God blessed you all
We were on the first sailing and really didn't enjoy it. Kyndall Fyre was the only thing that was genuinely awesome about this ship. We will try again because it was clear that some of the issues were related to everything and everyone being new to this ship.
We loved doing the inaugural sailings, but have had the same at times.
Thanks for sharing guys. We board the 13th b2b. New Years looks exciting ❤ save a little fun for us. 🛳🛳👏👏👏
What was your room number?? Thanks great video!
We were 9279
People keep saying 6000 people on the ship the ship does not fit that many people
According to Carnival’s deck plan, the ship has a double occupancy capacity of 5374. That number doesn’t include third or fourth passengers in a stateroom. It also doesn’t include the 1735 crew.
With 3rd and 4th passengers it does.
Kindle Fire knows how to hype up a crowd and has put together an awesome Fun Squad, cause she had us rock in on the Mandi Gra! I just might have to visit the Jubilee. Thanks for sharing.
No one describes a meal like you two!
