First time on Elation and the small ship of Carnival. Was nice since not too crowded. Glad it had an Effy jewelry store. Good spot to have the art auctions. Design is very old but did enjoy the layout of the lido deck buffet area. Liked there was a lot of room for Guy’s Burgers and the Blue Iguana

Cruise tips
Parking at port in terminal E was crazy with limited spots but quick checkin once there. You get your room key after checkin and not on board
Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas
Island is pretty and has a bunch of different areas to visit. We had not grew weather so didn’t stay long
MSC Divina
You have to register a credit card at these machines once you are on board
Eurodam
Don’t miss out on the pizza
Caribbean Princess
If your looking to purchase the Internet, purchase ahead of time to save some money
Regal Princess
Make sure your phone has enough memory for the medallion app to work
Panama Canal (Cruise Into Canal)
Wasn’t sure what a partial Panama Canal was, now we know. You go into the first lock and then hang in the lake for a bit before going back through the lock.
Didn’t get off the ship, didn’t have a nice port area at all.
Doing construction in the Tampa area in 2021, so we were dropped off. No excursion since we are an hour away
Carnival Pride
If looking for a great adult only option, the serenity area is fantastic
Carnival Elation
Only one pool on the ship
Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia
We stayed a couple extra days here and the city is beautiful
Not much to do here but it was a beautiful day in port for us
We did the white pass train excursion. A little walk to the train but it was worth the views. Scenery was amazing. Back in town is pretty small and the main restaurant attraction red onion saloon had a huge wait. If you want to go, go there early.
We did the dog sled training facility and it was spectacular. The dogs pull this heavy cart for 6 people around a dirt track. It’s very wet there so expect some mud and some dirt when petting the dogs. Very informative about how they race. The grounds were beautiful. Holding the puppies were fun too
We did the lumberjack and totem pole state park. It’s very raining here so definitely dress in layers and waterproof clothes. The show was fantastic as they did it all in the rain. The state park was nice too but the wind that day made it a little less enjoyable
Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
No, drove to the port. Didn’t like that the ship was at a port with no covered parking
I love this port. The water is so blue and amazing. I always feel great there. We did the coast to coast tour this trip. It’s a small island so it’s fun to see
Walked around real quick, not much to see. Enjoyed the ship
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
Stayed on boat to enjoy the ship. Had the drink package so not worth going to the island since you could not use it there
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic
Stayed on ship to enjoy it. Not much to see and no desire to do the excursions
stayed on ship and used our cabana for the week
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
stayed on ship and used our cabana for week
stayed on ship and used our cabana for the week
stayed on ship and used or cabana for week
Nieuw Amsterdam
if you can purchase the cabana on the retreat deck, it is a nice way to relax and not stress over getting a deck chair to enjoy the weather.
