Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We just got off the Elation this morning. It was a fantastic cruise and the food was outstanding. After four Norwegian cruises this was our first Carnival. The food in all of the venues was outstanding. And all the wait staff greeted you with a smile no matter where you were in the ship. As others have said the pool is kind of small and was crowded. But I guess for this size ship they couldn’t have made it much bigger.

It was an amazing cruise. I went with my husband and children. There was so much for us to do onboard. The staff was super friendly especially Brad and Teddy. Brad really went the extra mile to make my daughter's birthday special. I would recommend Carnival to anyone looking for a great time and a fun cruise.

Took the nieces and nephew on a cruise, they had a a blast so I’m happy! Casino staff was FANTASTIC!!

This was a weekend getaway to use expiring free flight certificate and port cancellation credit. Four days is too short for experienced cruisers. Short cruise to the Bahamas is great for first time cruisers to give then the cruising experience. First time on Fantasy class. Don’t expect to return to that class of ship. Don’t care for the Bahamas as a cruise port. Freeport residents were much nicer and not so pushy as Nassau shopkeepers, etc. No man made fireworks, but there was lightning in the sky on Independence Day. Seas were mostly calm.

We had a great time as a family! I’d recommend thus ship!

This was our first cruise but definitely not our last. We are already trying to decide which one to go on next year.

Overall it was a good cruise. The itinerary and ports were well-worth the time.

Had a wonderful time. Loved the ship & crew. Destinations were amazing. A must!!

This was my second sailing and I did not like the smaller ship size. The staff and food is definitely up to Carnivals standards, however felt just about every wave. It was hard to sleep on the smaller ship. The engine room felt like it was right below the casino. A very obnoxious vibration and knocking all 5 nights. Other than that had a great time! Already booked my next one, but on a larger ship. Prolly staying away from the smaller ones from now on.

Great family vacation. 28 family members and we all had a wonderful experience.

There is a little to talk about on this cruise. Generally speaking there were many small trivia type of activities that had cheap prizes that you don't even buy if you see it in a gift shop or a regular store. It looks like stuff from the $1 Dollar store. I felt this was not very professionally handled to provide this type of prizes.

Overall it was an ok cruise. The room service could have been way better. The dinning room experience was excellent. Waiter Jurie is the best!

Everything was clean. Staff was great and entertainment was just right. Something for everyone.

We enjoyed the Elation. The comedy shoo-in the punchlines were really good.The food on the lido was not as good as we have had on other Carnival ships. Our room steward , Thana was wonderful. We would love to have her on all our ships. We went to Ocean World at Amber Cove. We had a great time there.

We had a great time. Every carnival cruise has amazing personnel that make your experience memorable.

This was my first cruise, I was a little nervous at first. But it was very good, enjoyable and exciting, can't wait to go on another one.

Overall for my first time cruising it was great experience. Would love to try another one in the near future of course a larger one cruise.

Had a great time on the cruise. Food was not as good as I’ve experienced before, but Blue Iguana was delicious! Entertainment shows not that great. Loved the comedians !!! Room steward, Felix, was awesome as well as dining room staff. I made and his team was great!!

Hour cruise was everything we expected and more. We only wish that more over our family could come with us but with the small group we had it was perfect from beginning to end.

Overall, we enjoyed this cruise. Thanks to all.
