Galveston mixes salty breezes, Victorian charm, and beach town energy, a relaxed Texas port where history, seafood, and sunshine set the mood.
Your cruise departs from Galveston, Texas on the Carnival Jubilee, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait. If you're given an assigned boarding time, showing up earlier sometimes works but isn't guaranteed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. It is a favorite area for shopping and casual dining.

Nassau welcomes you with turquoise water, pastel streets, island rhythms, and a lively blend of Bahamian culture, history, and easygoing tropical energy.
You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Nassau, Bahamas, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. You can spend the morning exploring historic forts and lively markets, then shift gears in the afternoon with beach time or waterfront dining.

Half Moon Cay feels like the Bahamas you picture in your head, bright water, soft sand underfoot, and an easy island rhythm that invites you to slow down.
The Carnival Jubilee carries 3,500+ passengers, which can create congestion at the terminal in Half Moon Cay (Little San Salvador Island), Bahamas. Ship-arranged shore excursions are your best bet - these groups most often receive priority disembarkation. The main beach at Half Moon Cay is wide, clean, and beautifully calm.

Celebration Key feels like turquoise water and powdery sand, palm lined paths ahead, music in the breeze, and a private slice of the Bahamas made for cruising.
Your ship arrives in Celebration Key, Bahamas at 8:00 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. The main attraction is simple and done well.

Your cruise ends in Galveston, Texas, where the Carnival Jubilee is scheduled to dock at 8:00 am. With 3,500+ passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a two to three hour window - but once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist - carrying your own bags off - lets you skip the wait and walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Organized excursions are available, but independent exploration works very well due to the compact layout.
