Husband Eats Burgers on A Cruise But They Get Progressively Smaller
In this episode of Lauren of All Trades... Husband samples all the different burgers on the Carnival Jubilee.
The last one can't be ordered. It comes with dinner on day 1 at the Steakhouse and maybe on some other days of the cruise, but not every day.

I love the pizza research! Now i’m hungry…😅
Thanks for watching! We did this again on Jubilee which had two more new pizzas :)
We were on the Viva in April for a TA. The main thing I noticed about the restaurants is they make the food "fancy" and don't give you nearly as much as we use to get. We will be on the Prima in September and I'm trying to book restaurants online now. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Did you have any concerns with noise in this cabin, especially at night?
I didn't have a reason to be worried about noise but also there wasn't any. I'm sensitive to sound keeping me from falling asleep, so that can further assure you of how quite it is :)
Taking a 7 day cruise next year on Carnival Miracle, and this is so helpful.
So glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Where is the Horizon docked?
It cruises from Miami year-round.
More of waste of time then it has been since cutting off munchies? wine?
I didn't become platinum until after they eliminated the hors d'oeuvres so I don't miss them. I don't think I would if I had experienced them. There's so many free options on these ships in particular. But the static feel of the party in the theater with no space for mingling and just the glass of wine is really meh. We skipped it on our Jubilee cruise that was this past Feb. I do like the free drink that's added to you account to be redeemed after 4pm on the last day because you can pick whatever you want from any bar instead of just what the theater menu has.
I hate videos where people don’t talk
then don't watch it?
The portions look so sad, like for a child!
I agree that they're pretty small, but you can order how ever many you want. :)
This must be fun! It’s the only cooking class on our ship that’s sold out (still many weeks to go) so that’s saying something
I bet the cupcake class is pretty similar if you want to learn cake decorating skills!
You were in our neck of the woods! We live about 20 minutes north of Scranton 😅 When we tell our cruising friends where we are from..we have to mention The Office 😂 I cant remember that last time I did the coal mine tour (probably about at least 25 years ago), but its pretty cool (literally)! Oh. Ive never been to Alfredo's, but it looked good! And also for Poor Richards...never been there either. But I agree..the Wallenpaupack beer is good! 👍🍻 It was so much fun watching this vlog!! Thanks for sharing 😊
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I knew that there was a chance that 0% of my cruise audience cares about the Office. So it's nice that there was at least one person who overlapped!
Fun times!
Thanks for watching!
I'd like to see them switch the bbq chicken to buffalo chicken. The former is ok, just more 'sweet'. Something about the cheese+chicken+buffalo flavors just goes really well together. edit: I posted this before seeing how you make your own buffalo chicken--but it's an outrage that you have to do this, only to end up eating lukewarm buffalo chicken pizza!
Even lukewarm, it's delicious! Great minds think alike! Maybe we'll see buffalo chicken pizza on Excel 4.
Key reason I like Havana cabins is it's on deck 8 which is one of the main floors with activities, restaurants and bars. No need to fight for elevators.
That's true! That's also something I like about Havana on Vista class.
We always bring zip lock sandwich bags and put cookies in them to snack on in our cabin. They can also be used to carry your chicken to the salad bar. They are good to use to bring sandwiches to keep in your fridge for later. Saves on room service. One last one- bring a refillable insulated cup, and put your iced tea in it. I sweeten it with artificial sweetener, and drink that while reading on a quiet deck. No having to find refills.😋
Great hacks! Thanks for sharing!
I love Boston! I grew up about an hour from there…😊
I really enjoy your videos! When researching cruise experiences, I find that you are very honest in your reviews. That is really helpful!
Thanks for watching!
Yeah with the wine included I think it's a must-do especially if you have some OBC. I agree with you about the sides though, they are astonishly terrible compared to the quality of the main dishes. They really need to fix that so the quality is good across everything on the plate.
Thanks for watching! I also hope they let the price sit where it's at for a good while. It's nearing my limit of what I'm able to pay for it to be worth the cost for us.
Food Republic is an Asian specialty Think similar food suschi bar If included do better
SUSHI
Is prime rib only served once? I'm on the Celebration in 4 weeks for the 8 day southern.
Yes, it's served the same night as lobster tails, so for you that's probably night 7.
Is all u can eat the whole cruise or per day??
Per day. Thanks for watching!
This is a great video with valuable information, thanks for posting. I've watched several jubilee videos and couldn't figure these three out. Now I know. They only serve the one item each day and each day that 1 item changes. Neat idea.
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
HI, thank you for the sharing. Lovely video. Does the hotel provide airport shuttle?
They do not. They will call a taxi for you. It’s pretty close so probably pretty affordable. We had a rental car so I don’t know what the price would be. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the directions! We will definitely check this out next March! XOXOXO!
Thanks for watching!
lol liked your buffalo sauce tip - gonna have to try it out - did they offer all the pizzas on your red shirt at pizzeria el capitano from the Dream ship?!
Yes! The Dream has all those pizzas plus Quatto Formaggio.
Doesn’t look too appealing
Does anyone eat cold cuts and baked beans for breakfast? Why do they keep putting that out there???
I have no idea! lol😆
I really enjoyed the video it was super helpful & i love all the additional info you've added ! Thank youuu ❤
That's wonderful to hear! Thanks for watching!
The buffet for breakfast was much better then this I was on viva in feb for 7 days love the ship had a wonderful time ❤
Thanks for watching!
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Our room is close to the secret spot
So I have a Havana room from a tba balcony on horizon in August. I wanted to see the difference. I have a cruise on celebration next year. I wanted to upgrade possibly. I don’t think it’s worth it 🫤
I'm so jealous of your TBA Havana cabin on Horizon! But no, I wouldn't bother to upgrade to Havana on Celebration. I upgraded to a Spa cabin instead of Havana on Jubilee so that I had better access to a hot tub all cruise, albeit an indoor one.
@@laurenofalltrades we did spa balcony on mardi gras. She didn't use much of the spa features. Maybe twice. I might do the spa, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you 😊
There seems to be a lot of confusion with free options on the celebration. The Java blue has always had items for a charge, all drinks and most desserts. The sandwiches were always free but I am hearing half the people say how they charge and half say they are free?
I haven't been on since Dec 2022 and I didn't notice when I was on Jubilee a few months ago. I know that they'll indicate which cost money if that is the case.
Im staying in this exact cabin in August. It was a TBA balcony and i feel like I won the lottery
That's amazing. I agree, you made out good. I think the only issue might be some noise, but probably not much. They don't have deck parties back there. Enjoy!
Thank you so much🐋! Getting ready to cruise on Vista in August and hoping MDR offers Emerils goodies 🎉
You should have the same menus that we had on your cruise! Have a great time, I loved Vista!
How much to park for 7 days
One of the parking decks is $22/day, the other is $20/day. If you're going on a 7-day cruise, that's 8 days of parking.
Too much uptalking. Today we are in Amber Cove? ....in the Dominican Republic? ... only did free things?
We stayed in Havana on the Celebration, the outdoor section was never crowded so we could always get good seats or loungers. Private bathroom/changing room and private towel counter for the plunge pool. The bartenders where hit or miss, running back and fourth between inside and outside , but they were very friendly , The plunge pool is NOT heated, so it was freezing the entire trip and pretty much unusable ....a hot tub would have been a better choice or at least thow some heat in the pool . We had an interior room and it was very nice and spacious , loved the Havana décor and the location was a straight walk to a lot of bars and restaurants . Overall we really enjoyed that section and found it well worth the extra cost.
Thanks for your feedback!
I can't wait. We did a Cloud 9 Spa cabin on the Celebration. It saved us well over $300 for the both of us.
I thought I wouldn't get much use out of it and then it was well worth the cost!
I just booked the exact room for next year
Enjoy!
Why take a video of the menu was to fast!
I’m booked on the new NCL Aqua Nov 2025. Doing sea trials now. Don’t know what restaurant options will be available yet. Hoping for the Brazilian Moderno, not tried one yet. Food Hall looks like a buffet with stations instead of lines.
I expect that they won't have Moderno. Honestly, I went to Moderno on a different ship and I wasn't impressed with their execution of the concept. Indulge isn't a buffet because you can't walk up and grab the items (except at breakfast). You order from a tablet and it's delivered to you. :)

Cagney’s is always my specialty dining credit.
Yeah, I'll be hard-pressed to not go there on future cruises :)
Staying in this exact cabin in September. 😊
Enjoy! Thanks for watching! I didn't think to mention this in the video b/c we used a strategic washcloth over the thermostat housing to fix the problem... for the first time ever we found out cabin to be hot. Including with the key in the slot and the balcony cabin door closed and locked. We meant to report the issue but just didn't get around to it. Hopefully its better now, but plan accordingly (e.g. maybe bring a small fan and be ready to call for maintenance on day 1).
@laurenofalltrades Thank you for letting me know. I hope it's fixed now as well, but I won't hold my breath.
Ok thanks
Are the drinks free at drink machine in lounge
The espresso/latte/cappuccino machine is free. The soda machine is 21 cents/oz unless you have Cheers or the soda package.
Were those deviled eggs free too?
Yes! The deviled eggs are free! :)
Not to mention, if you get a Havana room on the same side as the bar, they close off the bar a lot for special events and have bands playing in there. It's kind of a short cut to the rooms through there so you have to walk around and it's very loud. And yes, not to mention, no hot tub in the area.
I didn't even consider how access to the cabins from other areas of the ship could be affected by the operation of the bar. I agree - I would hate having to go around.
Thank you. Keep these videos up. Great work!
Thanks for watching!
We got home from our Jubilee cruise on Saturday. We’ve never stayed in a Havana cabin but I’ve always thought about it. We had a balcony room on the lido deck #16242. We could see directly onto the Havana porches. I’m with you, don’t think I want a Havana cabin anymore. Our top pick is a standard balcony on the lido deck - especially if they have only a plunge pool which I didn’t know until now. With that said, we LOVED the Jubilee!
I also loved Jubilee! If you go on Vista, Horizon, or Panorama, I recommend giving Havana a try. (My deep dive and review of Havana on Horizon: ruclips.net/video/ZtpSW9IOQ9E/видео.html)
