Review summary

My boyfriend and I sailed on the Carnival Elation on February 17th 2006 from Port Cananveral. The ship itself was very nice. The rooms were confortable everything was very clean and as spacious as you can get on ship. The staff was very accomidating and always very nice and right there to get you anything that you needed. Unfortunately the weather was not very good and the first two days of the trip the boat was so rocky that half of our dinner table counldn't get out of the bed to make it to dinner because they were so sea sick. The entertainment on board was good. The most unfortunate part of our trip was when we arrived at Turks and Caicos and got off the ship to find out that all of the excursions were cancelled because of the "bad weather" which turned out to be a beautiful 85 degree sunny day. Overall I would rate this trip as ok. There were some nice things about it but we had to make an effort to make the best of it. After having previously cruised with another company I have made the decision not to cruise with Carnival again.

Ports of call

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5
This was an absolutely beautiful island, we went horse back riding in the ocean and just relaxed and swam in the beautiful clear blue ocean.
Don't Miss: Horse Back Riding

Nassau, Bahamas

We chose to go snorkeling on a private island which was the wrong choice, we should have just gone on our own and went shopping and walked around the town, there is alot to see.
Don't Miss: Shopping

Grand Turk Island

All of the excurisions the day we went were cancelled so we were able to just tour the whole island because it is so small and there wasn't much to see or do.

Pros: The staff and accomidations were wonderful

Cons: Unfotunately the boat was very rocky and all of our excursions were cancelled at one of the ports which was very disappointing
