Review summary

The Carnival Elation is a older smaller ship but still is a lot of fun!!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

The wait was a little long due to port inspection but carnival had our rooms ready and most our luggage delivered when we stepped on board!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

This ship is small and only has one specialty restaurant. We enjoyed all the food especially the dining room. This time we enjoyed the deli more for omelettes in the morning and sandwiches in the afternoon.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

They looked fun but we did not participate!

Entertainment

We only made it to one stage show which was good. The two comedians Joe Marlotti and Lenny Schmidt were both so funny they made our cruise!!!

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

5 out of 5

This is a easy smaller port and always fun cruising out of the river. Don’t Forget to go to the very top deck and watch how close the tail of the ship is to the bridge while passing under it!!
