Review summary
First time on Elation and the small ship of Carnival. Was nice since not too crowded. Glad it had an Effy jewelry store. Good spot to have the art auctions. Design is very old but did enjoy the layout of the lido deck buffet area. Liked there was a lot of room for Guy’s Burgers and the Blue IguanaEmbarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Pizza Pirate
Pizza is made at the time you request. Have to wait a few minutes but the pizza is hot and fresh
Tiffany's Lido Restaurant
Food was good. Since it’s a smaller ship, the pizza and soft serve ice cream is in the buffet area.
Imagination Dining Room
Good service. Food was pretty good.
Onboard Activities
Serenity
Difficult to get to. Have to go through deck 9 hallways all the way in back of ship. Very small area for adults. Only hot tub, no pool. Does have a covered area to sit and relax which is nice. Can take stairs right but to buffet.
Jewelry Shop
Small Effy store and attached to the watch/booze/cigarettes store
Elation's Way Promenade
Good seating area but near the casino have to deal with the smoke. Sorta hard to hear the trivia if not close to the speaker
Pool
Very small pool and only one pool beside water park area.
Casablanca Casino
Good selection of machines to play. No non-smoking section though.
