Review summary

Our cruise was not as spectacular as some of the others that we have been on but just like Carnival they always show a great time. The Fund squad was a little lack and the wait staff was having a bad week, but the cruise was awesome anyway.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was great. Carnival can heard the cattle of cation like nobodies business.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We sailed the Elation which we have done times before and this time like all the rest the food was great. best i ever had? Maybe not but i didn't wash dishes and did not have to clean a thing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There is always something to do on carnival and i think that if you didnt have fun on the ship its on you.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Always GReat, compared to the other ships that we cruise and the other times we have had i was still excited to be here. Our biggest problem was that the FUN SQUAD was not really fun at all. its almost like Carnival got a bad mix with the group that happened to be together on this cruise. no real extroverts that we could see

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Awesome, what else can i say

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The wait staff was fine but compared to the staff they had late last year there was just not the personality that we are used to. they remembered our names but got our food order wrong almost every night.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

5 out of 5
Do not bring you fire arm and accidentally leave it in your bag. The security team was awesome and they did move us very quickly.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Love it lots to do.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

3 out of 5
Half Moon was just okay. it was built to be a great day with decent food but what we found was a crowded beach with no more shade or umbrellas and no more chairs.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Terrible, it was bad because they mad us leave.....
