Ship tip

First let guess go on Elation. When book a cruise, don't give them and older ship that didn't have the upgrades you were promised. I understand about weather but cruise should have been canceled instead of lower class ship

Why are you reviewing the Fascination under the Elation thread? I am glad to find out it wasn't the Elation....we had a wonderful time on her ! The new upgrade was very nice and very pretty. I think we are lucky that we don't have horrible hurricane seasons every year.... Normally there are no big issues, this year it was just a rough season. I personally applaud Carnival for the measures taken to insure everyone was safe, how they scrambled last minute changes to give everyone a cruise, maybe not to the originally planned destination but a cruise none the less.... It was just unfortunate that you didn't get to cruise on the Elation as planned.... The next one will be better! As my Granny used to say "don't throw the baby out with the bath water" it seems you have enjoyed Carnival ships several times.... Give it another go!

This can't possibly be about the Elation that disembarked this morning.... The second cruise after dry dock... I would like to know for sure which cruise Evil is referring to before I say anything else.

You MUST either have drank a lot in two days if you cleaned the ship out of your mixer, or my gosh - how much did you drink (lol). Never heard of a ship running out of a mixer. First time for everything.
