The only way the pool could be dirty is from it being occupied from time it open to the time it closes. But I do know for a fact the whole 5 days I was on there which was last week every night at 12 midnight the pool was being emptied and clean

What happened at the port? This is the second time I've heard someone say the pool was dirty🤔

Jacksonville is definitely not the nicest port and only can accommodate smaller ships but can’t complain. Easy parking, embarking and debarking. The Elation is the smallest ship and doesn’t have some the amenities we are used to but still a nice pretty ship with good service.

I actually like the port in Jacksonville. Never sailed on the Elation but sailed her sister ship the Fascination. Always enjoyed it and always referred to it as my dumpy little ship!

Elation is a Fantasy class and the smallest and oldest ships CCL operates
