Review summary

We had a great time as a family! I’d recommend thus ship!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had FTTF and it took no more than 20 minutes from the time we got out of the car to the time we were in our room! This was around 11am!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Lot of options, and nothing was bad (not even close to bad), but nothing was exceptional either! Better than Chili’s, but we get better food at a lot of restaurants in our hometown. LOVED all the options, and my kids loved the freedom and choices!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pool was small, and hard for my kids to swim in except during dinner. But they enjoyed waterworks much more anyways!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Stage shows just weren’t our thing, but the atrium shows/parties were an absolute blast for my husband and I!!! The July 4th Party was super fun for a bit! Then we went to get ice cream when it got a tad crazy for my kids!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had 5 people in there - so it was snug! But we slept well and had enough room to get dressed! Other than that, we hung out in deck - which we like better!

Ship tip

This was our first cruise, and we immediately booked two more on other ships right after. I think it was exceptional for the price we got - and I’d sail the Elation for a short trip again in a heartbeat! It was a PERFECT addition to a quick Disney trip!!! We knew it was a smaller ship going in, and feel like our expectations were reasonable!
