Review summary

Customer service was horrible. The food was horrible, and the ship was old and rusty. This shop needs a complete overhaul. Evertyhing was horrible. There is not much good that I can say about it. I have been on other cruises and this one I do not even want to remember.

But you got to party on the ocean with my fave CD Kevin, so I couldn't have been that bad

Gee... it is too bad that did not go on the Elation, on April 27th... as the 1,000's of others that did. They had a GREAT time...

The Elation is going into dry dock in August to get redone.

Wow, I have been on the Elation twice and everything was nice. Actually, I had my first cruise on the Elation out of New Orleans and it was great. The truth is it's not a newer or bigger ship; but, the service was good. Now, my husband and I are cruising twice a year mainly with Carnival.

Have always loved the Elation. Thought the staff was awesome, food good and ship very clean. Best casino staff Carnival has to offer.

We had an amazing time on the Elation in January. Going back in 11 days.

I guess that proves how differently people we things. We enjoyed the Elation. Wasn't the newest or largest ship but we had a great time and enjoyed the food...
