It was ok for my teenagers first cruise, very disappointed in excursions after the amount we had to pay for them.

First class crew and atmosphere! by rtmschaumburg

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Personal recommendations: * Adult hot tubs close too early and inadequate capacity. Maybe a policy no sitting on the top of the tubs or something to move the partiers from not sharing. * Need more cocktail runners * Did not like the internet or alcohol policy that is priced per day but required all days to be purchased. Seems like deception. Just list a lump sum for trip if that's the intention. * Purchased a Piece of Jewelry ($1250) that I was told was a great deal and priced way under market price on the ship just to go home and find same or better pieces for a fraction of the price. This was an ill feeling and even thought It was a store vendor, Carnival should be accountable for making sure pricing is fair. Not the lowest, but fair. I feel taken advantage of on that respect.

Food was awesome, room was excellent by sweetlanda1295

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Cruisers need to know when going on the privated island that drinks are not free...Also for 4 days I paid. $1200,00.. That rate is of an 7 days cruise. I feel very disappointed and cheated.

Elation by njdhockeychick

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Elation

First time on Elation and the small ship of Carnival. Was nice since not too crowded. Glad it had an Effy jewelry store. Good spot to have the art auctions. Design is very old but did enjoy the layout of the lido deck buffet area. Liked there was a lot of room for Guy’s Burgers and the Blue Iguana

Terrible by colonnidia80

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Covid 150 ridiculous when I was stuck inside a boat and had a covid test prior to getting inside the ship. The water is yellow. Food was bland and the entertainment was boring.

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Overall the cruise was good, only the vessel Elation was bad. Inside was good and well distributed but out side was a bucket of rust to put it mild.

It was horrible. The operation of the ship made everyone on board sea sick. Will not use this ship again. by delfinaalicea

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

I'm sorry but this Carnival cruise ship needs to put out to pasture. My husband and I didn't like the excuse that the entire trip on the ship there was a lot of back and forth. My husband and I were on the Royal Caribbean during the hurricane and it didn't compared to this ship. We experienced the sea sickness since the beginning of the cruise and gradually gotten worse all the way to the end. Never again Carnival Elation.

Not a happy birthday by kimber3s

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Terrible and overpriced. I will not book online or even explore cruising for some time. I have filled out 4 surveys and no one has bothered to address the issue with me. I was not the only dissatisfied customer
