Carnival Jubilee 2023 has now become CARNIVAL JUBILEE 2024!!!

I booked another cruise!!! I had intended to book the inaugural sailing, but when the dates became available on the 25th, I realized the inaugural would be the week of Thanksgiving. I do not want to leave my mother alone on Thanksgiving, so we are book for February 24, 2024.

This itinerary for this cruise is:

Galveston, leaving at 4pm.

Sea day #1

Sea day #2

Mahogany Bay, 8am to 6pm

Costa Maya, 8am to 6pm

Cozumel 7am to 5pm

Sea day #3

Galveston, arriving at 8am.

This itinerary is familiar to us as we were just at Mahogany Bay and Cozumel on our Carnival Vista cruise in August/September 2021. But we have not been to Costa Maya and are looking forward to seeing a new place.

BONUS for this cruise, my locker-mate from the beginning of middle school to the very end of high school is planning on being on this cruise as well. I’m hoping some other friends will join us too!

I do not think there will be any more blogs for this cruise until it is closer to time and the real planning has begun. But please continue to read my other blogs.

Carnival Vista 2021 – Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan.


Welcome to Mahogany Bay, Isla Roatan, Honduras!

We enjoyed sailing into the port from our balcony. I apologize for the quality of the photos.

When we got the all-clear to go ashore, we were ready but in no hurry. We already knew how we were going to spend our day! We decided to walk around the shops first so we could see if there was anything we couldn’t live without… specifically a medication I left at home. But mostly to get an idea for souvenirs.

We took a leisure stroll to the beach area. Once there, we went to the shack that rents the clam shells, floats, snorkel equipment, and other things.

We spent time in the water and enjoying the view. The beach is lovely.

We did not spend a lot of time on the beach. Instead, we returned to the ship for lunch and to relax. On our walk back to the ship, I had the brilliant idea to go down the nature trail on the way back. There were a couple of photo ops that I’m glad I didn’t miss.

But first, before eating, we went to our stateroom to find our new towel animal!

After our stomachs were full, we went back to the shopping area to make our souvenirs we knew we wanted.

We returned to the ship in plenty of time to get cleaned up from our day, dressed for dinner, and enjoy the views from our balcony.

Dinner, as always, was great!!!!! The bread selections for this night were Baguette and Whole Wheat with the condiment selections of Whipped Butter, Olive Oil & Balsamic, and Bacon Pan Drippings. Unfortunately, I do not remember what remember what my cocktail for this evening was, but it was good!

For his appetizer, Jim ordered the Fried Mozzarella Sticks while I had the Heart of Iceberg Lettuce with ranch dressing.

We had the same main course selection of Grilled Been Tenderloin.

We even had the same dessert, Bitter N Blanc.

After dinner, we returned to our stateroom for the remainder of the evening/night.

Coming up next, Belize.
