Carnival Jubilee Deck Plans Will Include Bolt Roller Coaster and Some Surprises

Carnival Jubilee is currently under construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Turku, Finland. The ship will share features from its two siblings which include six themed indoor areas, BOLT, the first roller coaster at sea, 20 different cabin categories and a three-deck atrium overlooking the ocean that converts to an entertainment venue at night. The ship will also be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) as part of Carnival's commitment to sustainability and emissions reduction. Carnival has said the ship will also feature some "surprises" that will be revealed at a later date.
