Review summary

this is my 6th cruise, definitely not the best one but not terrible. i prefer larger ships, this is a smaller older ship which worked well for my fiance who's a first time cruiser. Although the beach was beautiful, Bimini was boring‼️im not sure if its quite ready to be a port yet. The public beach had huge barrels of whatever substance that left a rotten egg smell in the air... and the ship wasnt on the port long enough to justify buying a $60 day pass for the resort (my opinion)

Not at all surprised the Elation didn’t make a good impression. Good to know about Bimini..have been wanting to visit there but it sounds like I haven’t missed much.

Appreciate your feedback. Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise on the oldest and smallest ship in the fleet.

I remember reading somewhere that they are still trying to get the tourist area built up with more businesses in Bimini. Thank you for your review.
