Review summary

We thoroughly enjoyed the small size of the Elation. Lines were minimal if there was one and staff was very kind and attentive. Never felt over crowded. Ease of exit and re-entry at ports was simple and quick. Highly recommend.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cleanliness- stains on comforter and pillow when we arrived (but quickly swapped out) Size- obviously is what it is, could be a little cramped when getting ready Comfort- didn’t get as cold as we’d like, but def was comfortable and not worth complaining about.

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

4 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Margaritaville- little pricey for what you get.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

4 out of 5
Lovely island. $25 for Umbrella rental. Lunch was good. Cute little shops. Did not do any excursions- a little out of our price range for a family of 4

Disembarkation

Easy. Quick. Everyone kind.
