Carnival Elation

Review summary

Please fix the ship and don’t lie about nothing being wrong with it. I get carnival doesn’t want to lose money but breaking down in the middle of the sea and telling everyone nothing is wrong is just plain lying. And continuing to sail with the stabilizer broken is just irresponsible since it caused so many on board to be motion sick the entire cruise.

Ship tip

The stabilizer system was malfunctioning from what we was told and it was very shaky and shifting a lot. It made it difficult to walk around and cups and plates sliding off tables.

I was also aboard the same sailing and yes,the ship does rock a bit, but I didn't see any plates falling or items sliding. I feel you are exaggerating about the motion. We had a great time.

Same thing happened to me on my September 30th cruise. We missed our port because of engine trouble. And the boat rocked and rocked. Shame on Carnival.
