We kicked off our Carnival Jubilee cruise with a smooth travel day from Houston’s IAH Airport to Galveston, complete with a helpful Uber ride, a quick tour of baggage claim and the cruise shuttle area, and an essential stop at Bucky’s for snacks (jerky and cherry sours, of course!). We wrapped the evening with a stay at Residence Inn and dinner at Saltgrass Steakhouse using a Landry’s birthday reward.
