| Children's Programs | Mostly uninteresting. We were hoping for Grandma to participate with our kids but she wasn't allowed, so our kids mostly didn't participate. Also wanted our 8-yr old to get to be with his 9-yr old cousin but they weren't allowed to cross age groups. | |
| Food and Dining | The food was hit and miss - most of the formal dining fare was lame tho there were some notable exceptions. The self-serve lines were mostly pretty decent. Food would tempt us to look at another cruise line, but not sure the higher prices elsewhere would be worth it. | |
| Entertainment | Only took in a couple of shows - they were ok. Personally I would have enjoyed a cinema. | |
| Service and Staff | The staff were quite friendly and helpful but didn't have much above and beyond. Our formal server was excellent however. | |
| Ship Quality | Again, for a "cheap" party boat the Elation was really nice overall. | |
| Cabin / Stateroom | We had two adults and three kids in an interior stateroom but it was more than adequate. Our kids slept better on this cruise than they have in years. |
