Review summary
We decided on this cruise as a quick cheap get away. First I must say I've been on about 15 cruises and have a lot to compare it to. If this is your first cruise and budget is a concern, go for it, you won't be dissapointed, you can't beet the cost!
However, if you have cruised before and are used to larger ships with tons to do you probably won't be happy with this, just keep in mind the cost and go into it with the mindset that you get what you pay for and you will be fine.

So...like...what did Elation lack that you wanted? It's true that "smaller" ships can't pack in the multitudes of options that the megaships can, but it's all a matter of scale. Does more mean better? Did you miss not having a surf-simulator or ropes course? Would another two or three bars have made a difference on a 3 or 4 night cruise? Just wondering...?
