My family and myself was on the ship same week and I also smell weed in the hallways really bad as well. I did say something twice to the crew staff members but nothing was done about it, some crew members was very RUDE, for the guy who cleaned our room hands down, he was the best. I have been on 1 of the oldest ship the have and it was last year, it was the best cruise yet. It was called the fantasy, they made us feel like we were at home. For the food at the buffet it was awful 2 times in a row so we ate in the dinning room and the food was much better there. Long story short I will not go on the elation again

We cruised on her in Sept and loved it. Flawless? No, but every issue was resolved quickly...we don't concentrate on negatives because the positives far exceed them...

Me and my wife really enjoyed ourselves, I don't think I looked for anything bad on the trip. We made light of every situation, from losing in bingo to rain in Atlantis, the overall trip was major exposure for us to just take a vacation and not have to worry about cleaning, cooking, or anything, we needed that time away. Going to the club Saturday night in Nassau was the best, the vibe was sweet.. Cool people and good dank lol the Bahamas was lit!! We will be back on another cruise every year if we can.

Sorry for you experience. We were on the Elation in September and we had a great experience and actually liked the smaller ship, all staff we encountered were fabulous and our sail and sign account was accurate.

We had a blast and the staff, with the exception of one person, was amazing!

We have been on the Elation a few times and we love it! We have smelled weed in the hallways on quite a few ships. Nothing to do with the ship only the cruisers. We will be on the Elation in December and we can't wait!

We had a great time on the same cruise. I did smell weed in the hallways once. I found most of the staff to be very friendly. There was only one that wasn't. We also had 2 charges on our card that weren't ours but guest services fixed it right away. I was amazed at how officiant everything was. Sorry your toilet broke. It is an older ship and that could have happened at home as well.

4 day cruises are pegged as party boat cruises. Sorry you didn't have any fun.

We were on the elation in may and had a very similar time. It was the least fun cruise so far. We then went to the triumph in August and it was absolutly wonderful. Highly recommend the triumph

Sorry you had a bad experience. I was on her the first of Oct and had a great time. The staff that I dealt with was extremely friendly. I also enjoyed the food (maybe a little too much). I can't imagine being stuck on a ship for 5 days dealing with rude people and being hungry. Hopefully your next vacation will be better.
