Review summary

Everything was wonderful at the elation except that the pool is a bit small with only one slide which was hard to accommodate the number of guests & kids on cruise, in addition the hot tubs were not all functioning at all times!

Other than that, service was excellent, food & entertainment were great,,,Will do it again for sure!

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Our server Hugo was excellent and the assisting team Alejandra and Al Tar went way and beyond trying to make everything perfect. My boys called dinner at inspiration one of the highlights of the cruise!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Pool and slide are not reciprocal with the size of the ship, and hot tubs need to be working at full capacity all time... Other than that, basketball and volleyballs were nicely located on the top deck as well as the mini golf arena the boys enjoyed.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our Cabin stewart Subandry was more than excellent... I can't think of anything he missed. I loved the shaped towels he did every night and how he changed the towels as soon as we needed! Bed was set to king size as requested and was very comforatble as well as the pillows. Cabin was clean, and comfortable. The cabinets as chest and drawers as well as the bathroom tiles maybe in time for a makeover.
