This was my very first cruise which made me fall in love with cruises so much that I would whether book a cruise than go to Disney world. I hope to go back on Elation before they scrap it since now there only 2 fantasy class ships left.

Ship experiences

The food was good from the buffet and main dining room. Guy’s Burger and Blue Iguana Cantina was amazing as always.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Yes I did enjoy getting in the pools best time is on port days since less people will be on the ship the pools will be less crowded.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Everything was amazing. The shows in the main theater were fun and entertaining the performers did an amazing job. The music from the musicians and DJs were good from the old school to the new music.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I like the atrium something I think the bigger ship are lacking in. I love the outside eating area at the aft of the ship and the side aft of the ship.The ship was pretty clean and maintained for its age.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I forgot the cabin room number been so long since that cruise but it was a nice size and it was always clean.

Ship tip

Be open minded if this isn’t your first cruise and your used to the bigger ship the smaller older ships have as much character and charm in there own unique way as the bigger more modern ships. This is also a good starting ship for beginners a smaller ship so they can get a little used to being on the ocean.
