Review summary

This was all four of ours very first cruise. I choose what I believe was the smallest and oldest of Carnivals ships.. The Elation as our first example of cruising. It was the most wonderful experience any if us has ever had. Before we even finished this cruise we decided next year that as soon As we got home we would start planning our next cruise so that we can experience one of Carnivals newest and biggest ships!!!

Not sure if you got to try or not, but on sea days they have a sea day brunch in one of the dining rooms. You order off a menu and they serve you. It was our first time trying it and OMG I will never go to breakfast buffet again. It was so good.

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. Each class of ship has its own appeal. The small ones have less fellow passengers and are more intimate. The largest have more “bells & whistles” to enjoy. Personally, I like the middle sized ships because there is a nice balance. Welcome to the wonderful world of cruising!🛳

This isn’t the oldest, but it’s close. I actually prefer this class of ships to Carnivals new ones.
