We chose the Elation due to the great price for a family of 5 in an interior and because I wanted to try these ports. I’d go back to both ports and would cruise Elation again.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Port Canaveral is very organized, clean, great waiting area
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Most things were delicious and fresh. Some items weren’t as well made as on other ships (including the melting cake) which is why I gave it a 4.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Kids enjoyed camp, Family enjoyed BINGO, pools, hot tubs (although only the Serenity area ones are hot), kids loved waterworks, comedy shows and music shows were fun.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Pretty good but similar to other ships.
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
Love the camp!
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Room steward was not very attentive or personable. Other staff was mostly fantastic!
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Our room and common areas were clean but the Elation is rusting really badly. Hope they clean her up in drydock next week.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
5 in an interior (kids age 4, 7, 10) and we were fine. Kept the kids clothes in an open suitcase under bed that we pulled out as needed. Adults got to use the closet space. Worked well.
Ship tip
It rocks so if you are prone to motion sickness, bring meds.
Excursion included zip lining and waterfalls. Port area was clean and fun should you choose to just stay and use pools, water slides, and zip lines there.
