Review summary
First, We loved the Serenity Deck. 24 hrs of relaxing music and 2 hot tubs on the back deck. Spent much time relaxing and reading there.
Second, loved the shows. Well done and entertaining with great performers. Very professional.
Third, the food was always delicious at every restaurant and buffet.
Fourth, Kevin, the cruise director, was so lively, fun and engaged with all of the passengers and crew.
The entire staff was accommodating and hard working.
The only disappointment, the stop in Freeport. There is so many visible decaying buildings and trash everywhere. It was depressing! However, knowing that the main industry is tourism, I felt compelled to spend money on the island.
We will definitely cruise on the Elation again!

Ship tip
If you have walkie-talkies, bring them so you can keep in contact on the ship since it is very expensive to use the ship's cellular system.
Ports of call
Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)
