Carnival Elation Cruise Review to Caribbean - Bahamas
5 Night Bahamas (Jacksonville Roundtrip)
Sail date: December 31, 2016
Ship: Carnival Elation
Cabin type: Inside
Traveled as: Family (young children)
Reviewed: 7 years ago
Review summary
Best was...Ticket pricing(pricing itself gets 1 additional star),food esp. mongolian wok, spacious rooms, Kids Camps and overall service by the couteous staff.
Areas for Improvement: Entertainment in general esp. family oriented entertainment,Ship decor/ambience (felt it is dated and stressed, it need a makeover), kids camps could have provided lunch/ dinners rather parents picking them up for lunch/dinner and dropping them back. Better choice / value on onshore excursion. Formal Dinner Menu may need to be updated in quality as well as choices. Some days we skipped looking at the menu but since there were other options we were good.
My trip was lil disappointing because of the cancellation of onshore excursions due to inclement weather at Half Moon Cay but the carnivals private white sand beach is amazing. Loved it. Overall the trip met my expectations and whole family enjoyed it and my 4 yr and 11 yr old kids loved the camp carnival.
