Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great terminal very friendly and helpful so much to do on the ship. Our ports were so beautiful and the staff was so helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend this ship.

Not sure about future cruising with Carnival, as the cost is higher than most, aramark food, and the vast differences in embarkation/debarkation... I believe loyalty should be paid in higher discounts than on red blue gold etc. class style system priorities onboard. There were only two diamond/platinum couples onboard, thinking this to be due to the smaller ship, but even the airlines are not as archaic, as they load/unload based on ticket purchased at that time. embarkation/debarkation should be the same...load/unload by floor.

To me if you wasn't gambling or drunk you didn't matter to the staff took our 16 year old son with us an it was horrible for him not a place for kids

Ship was amazing.. Cam the cruise director was very entertaining and energetic.. The fun squad was also entertaining.. Our room steward Gusti was very pleasant and kept our room clean..There were plenty of dining options..Lots of entertainment and activities.. never a dull moment.. Would definitely cruise again .

Great experience! Ship was beautiful , staff was friendly and eager to please, food was varied and always available, casino was fun, and the onvwrall expwruwas excellent. Breath taking views.

dining rooms had good food and staff,buffet was closed half of the time. Loved the casino.

Loved the Elation and would like to sail on her again with this same itinerary!

We had a wonderful time. Great staff and entertainment. I can’t wait to go back.

OK but nothing special, kind of like an airline flight nowadays: it gets you where you want to go but rather blandly. A noisier, cruder clientele than we've experienced on other cruises (I guess it starts from the top: even the Cruise Director was foul-mouthed). Some guests acted like a late-night bar crowd at all hours throughout the ship. Some guests were obscenely attired, which would be more acceptable if they remained in the pool area where we could avoid them, but certainly not in the Lido restaurant or walking the decks. I was involuntarily exposed to some disgusting sights that I should not have to see since I intentionally avoided the pool area. I am glad we did not travel with young children! The staff did not nothing to enforce noise or attire rules. Itinerary and ports visited were fine, and helped counterbalance the above negatives so that the overall value and rating was 'average' for this cruise. We wouldn't take it again, but it may be fine for others who can better tolerate the crude environment.

Loved the Elation, the crew and Cam!!! Best part of my whole cruise was the salute to the Veterans, very tastefully done and loved the recognition for all!!! Can't wait to go on my next Carnival cruise in February 2020.

Wasn't a bad cruise for our first cruise. Would definitely sail on the Elation again. Look forward to our next cruise in November!!

The cruise was good. Ship was kept clean. Food was okay. Personally the ship was a bit small with all the 2.0 additions. Camp Ocean staff were great. Jose our steward was fantastic. Jordan in the dining room is amazing and a great dancer. The kids enjoyed waterworks on the seadays and loved Dr Seuss breakfast.

Ship was clean, staff friendly, entertainment was great, food was great. Something for everyone. This was my first cruise and I would cruise on Elation again.

We went on this cruise with friends and thoroughly enjoyed everything and the service was impeccable as usual.

I’m definitely hooked! It was overall a very fun experience for my first cruise! I hated to come home! I’m currently looking to book my second cruise before the end of this year!

Great ship, had a few problems but nothing that ruined our time by any means. First cruise and it has me addicted! Ship is one of the smaller in the fleet but there was still so much to do that we were busy the whole time.

Food was amazing. Guys burgers are addicting. Staff was very friendly and a lot of fun. Would definitely go on this ship again. We were never board. Always something to do. Half moon cay and Nassau were both amazing places. Only wish we had more time in port.

Would of been a good first cruise, but a bit disappointing but overall had a great time

This ship wasn't the best, I went on the boat in 2016 and it was nothing like it was then. The bathrooms had a smell, there went as many activities as our previous trips,and same with the kids club. They mostly has free play, but wouldn't let my child play the ps4. I was very disappointed in this trip.

Was a lot of fun. I was a little apprehensive as it was our first cruise but we(daughter and I) had an enjoyable time. Ship staff were for the most part extremely friendly and hard working. Cherry on top was being addressed by you first name whenever interacting with the crew.
