Carnival Elation

Sail date: January 19, 2017

Ship: Carnival Elation

Cabin type: Oceanview

Cabin number: E99

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 7 years ago

Review summary

Besides being old and needing some design upgrades, the cabins on floor 7 are very, very, noisy. Crew was friendly, food was good (not great - but good), shows were mediocre at best (singers were off-key), and found this to be more of a 'party' ship for those under the age of 50. I much prefer Royal Caribbean.

Don't ever choose this Cabin or any near by as it is below the dining room and they must move tables every morning at 4-5am. VERY noisy!!!!

Sorry celebrated my 60th birthday on the Elation July 2016. I found just the opposite. Thought it was more for family and people around my age group. The shows at that time were very good and the performers approachable and took pics with the cruisers. Staff was awesome, with exception to the blonde hostess in the MDR who was rude. We were on Deck 6 ocean view which was also nice. Sailing on her again this July. This will be my 4th cruise with carnival and I love them. To each his/her own.
