Review summary

Had a good trip with family. Weather kept us from being able to visit Princess Cays so we had an extra day at sea. Not many family activities to do. I would sail again with Carnival but would like to check out another ship. Elation is one of the smaller ships in the Carnival fleet. She's a beautiful ship. Very clean. Staff is amazing and friendly. Because she is one of the smaller ships, know ahead of time that she does sway a bit more than the larger ships in a storm. Overall, we had a pleasant experience with our 2 kids (19 & 11).

While they do have the kids camps available, it would have been nice to have more family friendly activities throughout the ship outside of the camps.
