Review summary

My Family and I picked the Elation for out girls trip, it was 8 of us. The ship itself was a little dated the staff prior to boarding the ship were welcoming and pleasant. However, onboard the room staff were a little sassy. also I woke up with three bites in my chest the first night and still have the scars to prove it (bed bugs). This ship rocked and swayed really bad the first day so i went to my room quite early from being ill as well as other members of my family, to the point where one had to seek medical attention and was charged $200 and then they had the nerve to charge here twice which we did get resolved. The Guest Service person could have been a little more pleasant, but a few of them were awesome and the others warmed up a day or two later. Bartenders and wait staff for the dinners were wonderful and the drinks were tasty. The first day menu was excellent, but by the next day the food began to taste like left overs. It took a long time to get sandwiches and pizza no matter when you wanted it. For the Captains dinner the Captain didn't even show up, that was a real bummer. We thought the Captain would at least walk around to meet us later since he didn't show to the dinner but did not. The comedy show could have been longer. There were children in the pool which was fine but then in the hot tubs as well which didn't give the adults much of anything relaxing to do. Kids running around after curfew so there was no quite time. or in our cabin as kids were running up and down the hall. They were playing with the elevators holding up floors.. Everything was overpriced and internet plans sucked, Carnival wanted every penny you have. I've been on Carnival cruises before and they have really gone downhill. Will not be using the Elation for future cruises.
