Review summary

Overall a very enjoyable and fun Cruise! We enjoyed the very helpful staff, the extremely talented entertainment staff, and the energetic and funny Cruise director. The day excursion to the beach on half moon cay was very enjoyable and the beach barbecue was delicious. We had a wonderful time on the catamaran sail and snorkel in Nassau and definitely do this cruise and the excursions again!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Dining rooms, restaurants and buffets were nice and well kept by the staff. We had the unlimited bubbles (soft drinks), it was a hassle to get drinks - suggest Carnival have room key operated soft drink fountains to make it easier.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools were too small and only a small number of guests could enjoy them at one time.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Entertainment staff was top notch, extremely talented and made this Cruise a lot of fun!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff worked very hard to provide for the patrons

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Ship was kept very clean. Elation is a 20 year old boat and it shows.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Out of date, well used, and in dire need of renovations.

Ship tip

Have understanding for the crew and staff - they work very hard to provide a positive experience for the patrons on such an outdated and old ship.
