Review summary

I never wanted to be "stuck" on a ship. A cruise never interested me. I was dx with cancer in 2016, it makes you re-evaluate your life. I made a "Bucket List" Best vacation ever! The staff and crew are friendly and welcoming. I can honestly say I was spoiled! Now looking to book my 2nd cruise. BTW God is good, I am a cancer survivor.

Most importantly, yes- God is good! Glad to hear you’re doing well! We were the same way- we had been on cruises ages ago, but our trip in August on the Elation was the first one with our kids. It was like hitting the “easy” button. As a mom, I loved that my kids had a blast, everyone had something the liked to eat (and it didn’t involve me cooking it!), and we had a spotless cabin twice a day. Can’t wait to go back out on 12/30!
