Review summary

Overall my family of 19 had a GREAT time, but anytime we all get together is gonna be a GREAT time

Embarkation

5 out of 5
LUV the new way they do embarkation with the appointments. Much more streamline and not all that wrap around line stuff

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
I have been on most of the CCL ships and always choose the newer vessels. The Elation was the only option for us for my nephews 21st BDay celebration so I may be quite biased. One glass elevator was out the ENTIRE cruise. My "Suite" balcony was over a deck with cranes etc in front (normally go out balcony and just look down and see ocean). This was odd

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Suite overlooked a lower deck not the ocean directly

Ship tip

Great for a newby but if you have been on newer vessels you may not want to do this one

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
My second home so very biased.. I go there by plane a couple of times a year and stay at ATlantis. Always enjoy local food at Potter's Cay or Arawack Cay

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
Not much to do right off ship

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
no problems at all walked right off, but I always wait til last call to get off to avoid hustle and bustle
