Review summary

I think I summed it up above. Many families not happy. I will not cruise Elation again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Never leave port on time

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Same food. Looks like left overs done in a different way each day. No variety. Floaties in every coffee juice or water from buffet are. Bread was hard as a rock.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Not enough adult pool space

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Too many competitions. Would rather have DJ on pool deck

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

Purchased drink package. We had to get our own drinks and bar staff was very slow. Some drinks no alcohol. You could tell they were strong first and last day. Never made the same. Room staff was great.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Drinks spilled in elevators. Dirty dishes everywhere. I did not like the use of phones by the staff (put on vibrate).

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

All was great with the cabin

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5

Very dirty this time. Annoying having all the locals trying to get your business. Smells like throw up

Thumbs Up 0

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

5 out of 5

No excursion but this was the best part of the trip. HOWEVER. there is no reason (except for carnival to make money) that you cannot use drink package there. $46 for 5 Michelob ultras

Surprising how the two reviews above yours were on the same cruise and had a totally different experience??!!! Did you eat in the main dining room or just hit the buffet all the time!? Atrium Bar is great for getting a drink before dinner. It is what you make it.
