Review summary

I was pleased with the experience for myself and my Childrens first cruise experience. Would recommend for any family wanting to take kids on a cruise. Any longer would be too much.

Could you tell me a little more about Freeport? Did you stay on the ship? What was there to do at port? What will you do next time? I read about resorts for the day, had you learned anything about them? I’m traveling with a 5 year old in February and am at a loss with what to do with that port.

Glad you enjoyed it. Interesting your comment about anything longer would’ve been too much. Anything less than seven days is considered way too short for us.

Cruised on Carnival Elation

Disappointing. Terrible customer service. And felt uniformed.
