Review summary

My family thoroughly enjoyed our first cruise! we enjoyed everything from the onboard fun to the excursions. Our onboard favorite activities was the music, we enjoyed musical shows as well as Musical trivia games hosted by staff.

 Our favorite excursion was Nassau (Top Ten of Nassau) and our Tour Guide Rico Stewart! He was very knowledgeable and has such a warm personality.

I didn't care much for the snorkel area. the rocks were very large and rough. Also the day we were there the surf was high( should have cancelled) my son(adult) couldn't maintain his balance long enough to get past the rocks, he was skinned up pretty good by the underwater rocks.

Nassau, Bahamas

Glad you enjoyed Nassau, which is still fun and relaxing. I found Jacksonville to be an excellent from which to get away. There's no "there" there. As a home port, New Orleans was excellent for Elation. Your pictures are pretty good! I'm looking forward to the video you post on YouTube. If you want to check out my Elation video to compare experiences, enjoy!
