Ghetto Cruise by sarajanik76

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)

We have been on over 50 cruises and this was the very worst cruise we have ever been on. Ar very first cruise was in the 90's on Carnival. They have come way down in quality!!!

Wonderful Trip by drgraham

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Elation

Overall, the experience was very positive. However, I would have liked the live performances to not being at the early dining time of 6 p.m. where we could have watched them.

Started off great/disappointed mid trip by OudiaN

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Elation

Overall our trip was great, but we were very disappointed that we paid for 2 stops and only did one and was not compensated in anyway. Refunding a potion of our money would have been great. We did not come on a this specific trip to spend 2 days at sea.

Fun Time! by helene1213

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Elation

Carnival can be hit or miss. Outside of the food being just ok, we had a fun time. The staff on this ship was top notch. Very fun. Lots of activities for everyone. I’m not a pool person. The pool area was stupid crowded and too small, but didn’t impact me because that’s not my thing. It was way too hot. It’s a smaller ship. Cruises are what you make them. Join in and do stuff and you’ll have fun.

Renewed my appreciation of Carnival Cruises by TLeaC

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Elation

This was one of the best cruises I have been on. We had our daughters and their families and we had church friends there also but everyone was so kind. This was a wonderful reintroduction to cruising after 4 years of not cruising. Thank you. Going out of Jacksonville was closer to home which is North Carolina. The employees were very helpful, respectful and kind. I only have good to say overall of everything and everyone.

Underwhelming service by Emae2009

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Elation

Not bad for a first cruise experience but definitely curious to try a bigger boat or even another cruise line. Service just wasn't as friendly as I would've hoped. Lots of attitude and no one really tried to accommodate us at all with anything. Split up our breakfast group for no reason when it was pretty slow in the restaurant, and just not super friendly anywhere. Again, except Oleg in dining and our steward Katut. They were delightful!

This cruise was ok. I didn’t get the 300 credit that was promised to me though. No entertainment we were accustomed to on 1st day and the boat was small compared to our other cruises. Everything else was ok. by carltonsmith781

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Elation

In Bimini, there’s nothing really to do but go to the beaches if you not doing excursions.

Family Cruise 2023 by Tyrek17

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Elation

This was my first cruise. I did enjoy myself. Personally it was rather warm, and the free on board water seemed salty and made me feel dehydrated. The on board activities and entertainment are great. The dining is good, with plenty of options, would recommend seasoning salt. Mr. Wirat from housekeeping, Cousin Rell from entertainment and Stephan the Cruise Director are efficient at the jobs.

Okay by janislsolomon

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Elation

It is not fair for me to rate this cruise as I had to care for my grandchildren while their parents enjoyed the cruise, which they did. It was their first time and won’t be their last.
