The food is fine for me but wish there was a better selection of draft beer on board.

Our cruise director Cam was very entertaining and we kind of followed him around.

Entertainment

Went to 2 comedy shows and the Rock show, all were good but like the comedians the best.

Room steward and dining staff were awesome!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Loved the ship layout and with over 2,000 guest on board I felt like saying "where is everyone"?

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was our first oceanview cabin and would definitely book it again to save money!

Ship tip

Your Time Dining was great for a table for 2 if you are a couple that wants to be alone.

We did this last month. Cam was amazing. Boat was great. Only thing id have changed was our room. We did an interior room. Never again. Also... I will never do atlantis again 😂😂 half moon cay made up for it though.

nice review, thank you! 12 more days and we will be on it for the first time. Look forward to guys burgers and blueiguana, just wish they were open for dinner! Very happy that it is easy to stick to keto on a cruise!

We are on the elation in December. I'm bringing 2 grandkids and am having an ocean view room. I know rooms are small, but how do you think it will be with 2 upper Pullman used?
