Review summary

I do not have another cruise experience to compare it to. I enjoyed the get away and the people I met. The first day at sea the ride was horrible. The crew was great. I wish there was more to do on the cruise. I was really hurt when I was in the casino and had a win and the machine error out and the hand moved back about two inches to make it look like a lost with a malfunction. I felt cheated. And a lot of the games seemed to be fixed against the player. I enjoyed the Island of Bahamas. Plan to take another trip next year, but pray I can go to all my ports. Did not get to go to Freeport.

Our first time in Nassau was pleasent!! We paid someone when we got off of the ship to take us on a tour(12 in our group) and he showed us everything even Atlantis and took us to beach and showed us all of the history...this time we (3 of us) will be enjoying a fun relaxed time at Breezes Resort!!! :)like i seen someone else say....Have lemons make margaritas!!!

We plan on giving it another chance, just with an excursion or a day pass at a hotel. We had some unexpected expenses before our trip and couldn't afford to do an excursion.

The Hilton British Colony is a nice place to go to in Nassau, it is a short walking distance from the port. Very relaxing, not crowded, great food, good drinks and nice people. We will def go there again when in Nassau. Sorry you didn't like it.

We had a great time. Yes the sea was rough a lot of the time. But we still loved the cruise. I didn't care for Nassau, the weather was not good and it just wasn't my kind of place. I loved the color of the water and always wanted to swim in it. But where we went was rocky and we didn't bring water shoes and there were bees everywhere. But we had a great time on the ship and aren't even upset that.

We were never bored on the elation. Went last December. Smaller ship but lots to do. We loved sitting at the casino bar and listening to the music that was there every night and during the day it was fun relaxing at the pool.

I can sit by the pool with a drink in my hand for hours. I have been on 12 cruises and have never been bored. Looking forward to my cruise on the Elation in January.

Why did you give the cruise line 3 stars, more to do on a cruise ?

Sorry to hear about the malfunction at the slots. As for Freeport, I personally feel you didn't miss anything.
