Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Ship is so old but kept clean . The constant rocking of boat in calm seas was relentless. A lot of sea sicknesses

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cabin was G44 a junior suite . The room was a normal balcony room on RCL . The room was located near closet and cleaning station. Every morning you could here staff getting ready to clean rooms loading up there carts

Ship tip

Cancel trip and rebook on another ship.

People please do your research before you sail. I’m a retired navy guy so the rocking doesn’t bother me. My lovely wife & I will be cruising on the Elation in just 5 days, we are definitely excited just to be getting away from work lol!!!

Was on December 9th. No problems. Felt some rocking but no more than we felt on the Liberty and that’s a larger ship. We really liked the Elation.

Sailed in September. Constant rocking made it hard at times, especially at night when trying to sleep. I will not sail on the Elation again.

Was just on it a couple weeks ago. Loved the theatre theme throughout. The size was great for a first cruise for my grandkids. Next time do some research if you want the newer things onboard.
