Been on her twice this year so far she will win you over for a small ship. It was funny we got off of Fascination and the cruise director had been Mark Q three weeks later we went on the Elation and sure enough it was him again he's our favorite and he had just transferred from the Fascination to the Elation he's the best. Then on every class of Carnival ships and honestly the cruise is what you make it bottom line

She was our first cruise and our honeymoon ship as well. She is very dear to us and looking forward to our third go for 8th anniversary in November! Can't wait to see her new look as she was pretty beat up in 2015.

That’s the first one we ever went on and it was our honeymoon. They don’t have the activities like the bigger ships but I recall the stage entertainment more than making up for it. I was actually disappointed in the shows on the bigger ship!

It is one of our favorite ships. I don't need to be engaged in activities all day. If I had teens it might be a different story.
