Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I was asked to plan a "first time cruise" for a friend and her mom. So I went along, to show them the ins/outs, what to do, etc. They had a blast! On our way back home, they were asking me when could I plan another cruise for them. They are hooked! LOL

First time cruiser. So much fun. Crew and staff made it great. Great ship. Clean and everything worked fine. Food was fabulous. Kids events and entertainment were outstanding. Gabe the cruise director was great. My kids loved his shows and towel animal making class fun.

A wonderful cruise. Great ship and so much fun, happy energy! We are already planning our next cruise with Carnival.

Excellent cruise for families! Princess Cays was fabulous. We enjoyed exploring Nassau!

I give everything good to very good marks however the elevator situation was unacceptable to us. We have 2 more Carnival cruises planned in the next few months. IF WE RUN INTO A SIMILAR ELEVATOR PROBLEM ON THESE NEXT 2 CRUISES WITH CARNIVAL WE WILL TRY ANOTHER CRUISE LINE.

My family had a magical time, we will never forget these memories.

This was my first one. Didn't know what to expect. It was fun.

We had a great time. We were able to relax when we wanted to, have drinks when we wanted, and party when we wanted. There was no one being rude or disrespectful. And what we loved, which I have never seen on Carnival before (only 3 trips) was security staff walking around making sure everything was okay.

This cruise was a first time cruise for several of my sister circle members, they truly enjoyed themselves and are awaiting our next adventure

I will not be doing this particular cruise again. Overall a waste of money for what was offered.

If I had to do it over again, I'd have cancelled this itinerary. Weed was able to be brought on board and nobody did anything to stop the people from reminding everybody on our deck that it was there. The food was absolutely atrocious. Never again will I be cruising on Carnival.

This ship needs to be retired. I will not be traveling carnival cruises again.

For a cheap cruise, it was a classic example of “you get what you pay for.” I’d pay more next time for a better experience and probably not on carnival if this cruise is what they are all like at the moment.

Boat was very rocky, I was sea sick most of the time with meds and arm bands !

While the weather was not great and the seas were very rough with a lot of swaying and moving, it was overall a great and fun experience. Kids 16, 12, and 7 all cant wait to go on another one.

This is my third cruise, my second and last with Carnival. Carnival cancelled our pre paid shore excusrion with less than 18 hours notce, and refinded me via a ship board cresit. Carnival could not say, as to why the excurion was cancelled, and I specifically asked client servces to refund that money back to my credit card, which they never did. I have been off the crusie three days now, and the money has still not ben refunded to my credit card. The staff is hit or miss, some staff are very hospitable, others look miserable. The buffett is sub par, stick to Guy's, the pizza bar or Blue Iguana for food. But I would advise booking a cruise with Noreweigan instead.

The cruise was relaxing. We had great weather. I have a huge issue with NOT RECEIVING our $200 onboard credit for upgrading to a suite! I would like some communication as to how this can be rectified! The food was mediocre but adequate. We still had fun just being away.

This was a girls trip. It was the first cruise for a couple of them and they loved it! It was a little rocky the first night but overall it was a great experience. It was too short for us all!

Will do this cruise again but will have to remember that there are now a lot of charges they never had before.

Amazing first cruise. This was my mom's bucket list cruise, so there was 11 of us cruising together. We had a fantastic experience and so glad we chose Carnival Elation for our first cruise experience. We thoroughly enjoyed Gabe as our Cruise Director, the shows, the games, the Lido Deck, and it was small enough to get around easily, yet large enough to have the full cruise experience. The ports were beyond beautiful and Junkanoo had the most amazing service we could ask for. Made memories to last a lifetime!
