Review summary

This was my third time cruising with Carnival, and it did not disappoint. I didn't have a single thing to complain about, it was a great time, and can't wait to go again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

They have improved the embarkation process getting you faster through the line and onto the ship. My daughter actually purchased the Faster to the Fun option, and she didn't get on board any faster than I did.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All staff were friendly, special shout out Marlon, our room steward, he never failed to greet us with a smile and always by our names.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

This is the second time I've been on the Elation, both times everything was clean and maintained. Never any issues with that.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Lots of improvements made in the staterooms. Mini fridges and hair dryers. Plenty of storage room in the closet area.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

5 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

There is a beach within walking distance of the port. Nice place to settle in for the day while in port if you don't want to pay for a beach excursion. Seagulls bar is right there on the beach, killer drink deals for those that are into that.

We just disembarked the Elation today as well and really enjoyed our 3rd sail on this lovely lady. Everything was to our liking , especially her new look. The Chef's Table experience was amazing!
