5 out of 5
Can't say enough about my room steward, he was awesome, the waiters were great, ship personnel was also pleasant and courteous

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I loved the decor on this older ship, its just beautiful. People left food all over the ship where they should not have. so the staff probably was very busy and did not see it or left it. People should not be leaving food just anywhere

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was very comfortable, the size was plenty and room steward kept it spotless

Ship tip

This is a older ship, so don't look for or expect all the bigger and better activities as on the newer ships, but you will have a GREAT time.

I agree! We love Fantasy Class ships, and cruised the Elation right before, and right after, her dry dock upgrade. She has class and charm... You are my type of cruiser (looking for the good in your experiences)...
