On October 26, 2023, the US Coast Guard successfully conducted a medevac operation for a 71-year-old man aboard the Carnival Jubilee, which was off the coast of Galveston, Texas. The Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston responded to a distress call received at 5:19 p.m., reporting that the passenger was displaying symptoms indicative of a heart attack. Following a consultation with the duty flight surgeon, it was deemed necessary to proceed with a medevac. Subsequently, a Coast Guard Station Galveston 45-foot response boat was deployed, and coordination was established with the Galveston Fire Department to facilitate the operation. Upon arrival, the crew of the response vessel boarded the Carnival Jubilee, safely extracted the passenger, and transported him back to Station Galveston, where he received prompt medical attention from emergency medical services representatives.

On February 26, 2024, the Carnival Jubilee, a cruise ship on an itinerary from Galveston, Texas, made headlines when it came to the aid of two castaways stranded in a sinking kayak in the Gulf of Mexico. As the vessel approached Isla Mujeres, vigilant crew members spotted the two men adrift in distress. Responding swiftly, they maneuvered the ship close enough for the men to paddle their way to safety. Crew members assisted in bringing the castaways aboard, where they were promptly evaluated by the ship's medical team. Following a quick assessment, first aid treatment and hydration were administered to ensure their well-being. Meanwhile, personnel from the Carnival Fleet Operation Center in Miami coordinated with Mexican Navy officials to facilitate a swift transfer. This operation was successfully completed shortly after the rescue, allowing the Carnival Jubilee to resume its voyage to Mahogany Bay, Roatan in Honduras.
