Review summary
Overall Elation was a good ship. The staff was friendly, respectful and hard working. You can still tell it’s a older ship. But it’s not bad the staff does a great job at trying to keep it up. The only downside. ( I know they have the serenity deck which is located at the back of the ship away from the entertainment.) But the kids need their own hot tub and their own pool area somewhere besides the Lido deck. They should not on the Lido deck if so with a time limit !!! You could never get in the hot or pool because it was full of kids.Embarkation

Jekyl & Hyde Dance Club
It was OK kind of out dated in design. Need more modern touch .
Inspiration Dining Room
Nice upgrade but it’s coo in there.
Dance Club
It’s okay I only looked in.
Onboard Activities
Casablanca Casino
My has been is a smoker . So a lot of times I had to go with him . They need better ventilation system in that area .So the non-smokers can breathe a little easier.
Guest Services / Shore Excursions
Wish they had a more visual board unless papers .
Elation Atrium
It would be nice if they had more chairs for nights they have entertainment.
Entertainment
Mikado Main Lounge
I know typical not everyone goes to the shows wish you could be a little bit bigger that way you have enough room for people to sit and see the show Without objects in their way
