Review summary

Carnival Eleation needs more public bathrooms as well as more pools. Pool always crowded(only 1!)and public bathrooms had only 2 stalls. Food buffets were too fancy & should offer more casual foods. We loved the Guy's burgers! Our cabin was well kept & should be commended! This cruise line is more for adults, not children.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining is fancy...we were underdressed. Buffet was good but could've been more casual foods & desserts! Leave the special dishes, meats, & desserts in the fine dining space

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Marty from entertainment was the Best!! We only had 1 very small pool on deck for hundreds of people. Couldn't even move around!

Pool

2 out of 5

Only offered 1 pool area for everyone other than water slides for kids. Cruise was during a hot month.....and pool was packed elbow to elbow.

All your staff were EXCELLENT & all deserve a day off and a raise!! Our steward for cabin U162, I KETUT did an excellent ob & should be commended for his hard work.
