Relaxing Family Vacation
Its an older, smaller ship. It does not necessarily have all the glitz of the newer larger ships but it has a great staff and plenty to do. Our family of 3 enjoyed our cruise on the Carnival Elation. My husband and I have cruised on NCL in the past and although we prefer NCL we did have a lot of fun on the Elation. The ship is older but has gone through some renovations. We did have an issue with the toilet in our cabin not flushing but it was taken care of immediately. The service was wonderful and we were all able to find activities that we enjoyed. Carnival ships do have a reputation for being "party ships" but they are also an affordable option for young families as well. We are not big drinkers, we did not spend late nights in the bar and we were back in our stateroom by midnight. We did not find the other travelers to be crazy drunk.

Cruise tips
We went to Atlantis. Did not book with the cruise line. Had a great time. We left Atlantis at 3 pm and caught a taxi back to the port. We had plenty of time to get back to the ship.
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
Beautiful clean beach clear blue water. The buffet was just ok, We had a Cabana and it was great. The clean up crew did try to rush us out earlier than necessary. We simply told them to come back later
