Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was a very relaxing cruise. Waters was a little rough as the usually are in January. Very clean ship, friendly staff and great excursions.

We really enjoyed ourselves. Our ship was not crowded, i'm assuming due to covid. We never had to wait for anything. Staff was friendly and always helpful.

Although an older ship, Elation was spotless. Maintenance personnel were on top of every aspect of ship operation. Wait staff were on point throughout. Ports of call were clean, safe, and enjoyable.

it was fun, Lots of food and the places we visted were beautiful.

We just wanted to get back into cruising. Nice ship, a short enjoyable trip with nice ports of call. We knew these ports would be warm this time of year. Plenty of sun, and we met some new friends. Good food and plenty of it. When I cruise on carnival, I always look to see if Guy's burgers are an option. Because of Covid, it wasn't a great cruise but it was very good. Carnival is the fun ships, and we did have fun.

We enjoyed the ports. The beach access and pools were enjoyable. The ship is not the biggest and the nightly entertainment was lacking, but the food was good and they were constantly cleaning touched surfaces.

Carnival has been always our favorite cruise line the staff and service is excellent, and we always share our opinions and recommendation with our friends! Carnival is the number 1 cruise lines!!!

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

No issues, Health protocol was followed. Crew had great attitude.

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.

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.

Limited recognition for platinum status except on debarking Lots of rust on room balcony and dirty Very little staff interaction Dining room service lacking, had to call manager more than once

We had no issues everything was amazing, definitely will make this a family tradition 💞. It was my kids first time ever on a Cruise and they really enjoyed it!

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

Worst boarding experience ever! We requesting a refund…

Liked the ship and crew. Thought food in dining room and buffet left much to be desired. Guys good as ever

Super rocking ship. Buffet is kinda eh, but mdr was fabulous

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.

Great family cruise. The service was top notch. Older ship but great renovations. Lots of storage space and USB ports.

It’s a nice cruise smaller then others but good for a family get away
