Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We had a wonderful time on the Elation. Ship was clean. The staff was the best part. Cabin steward, Nomer, Chrisjay in the dining room, Maria, hostess went above and beyond with me being gluten free. Ms. Bubbles at camp made us feel very comfortable with camp. Can't wait to go again.

This was my second cruise on Elation with my husband. The staff were all friendly and respectful. Our room steward went above and beyond. Every morning when we left our cabin he would have a conversation with us. Not just, "Good morning, how are you?", but a full, genuine conversation even though he was very busy. That meant a lot to me. Our cabin was always spotless and the bed was comfortable. The food in the dining room was good and I tried many things I've never had before, including tofu. Our waiter knew I was trying tofu for the first time and stayed until I tasted it in case I wanted a different dish. Lido buffet was good and Guy's was the bomb. Entertainment was just ok compared to last year when Kevin was the CD but we still enjoyed our cruise.

We had a great family cruise. There were 8 of us total, and we all enjoyed ourselves. Yes, there were things that weren't ideal, but that happens with any and all vacations.

First cruise and it was amazing!! The staff were great, food was good and the kids on the lips drink was the best. Enjoyed everything!!!!

can't say enough it was great, already thinking about another cruise

Overall, this was a fantastic trip. It was a perfect first cruise for my parents and a great get-away for all of us together. I will definitely sail Carnival again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Elation to family and friends.

Had a great time! Make sure to go see Wayan at the Red Frog Rum Bar on the Lido deck. He is awesome! Food was good and drinks were too. The weather was great and Cam the cruise director was a blast. He kept everyone entertained.

We will definitely be back to visit half moon cay! It was one of our favorite stops on this cruise

Good ship for first timers. Plenty to do but bit overwhelming.

Nice little ship, we like the small ships, just wish they would add dive by movies the all ships. Great staff and service as always. The ports were nice also, half moon cay has the clearest water around.

I will definitely cruise again, most likely with Carnival due to their excellent costumer service and spacious standard rooms. I will definitely not cruise again in a ship that allows smoking in so many public areas though. I have a history of cancer and radiation to my lungs, so the smoke was a major issue.

Best vacation of my life!! We enjoyed every aspect of the cruise.

This was the best first cruise, everybody was super nice and the boat was clean.

We recently cruised on the Elation with our 4 children. We have been on several Fantasy class ships and this is by far our favorite. The upgrades are great, especially in the staterooms. Alot of ships are bad about not offering enough outlets in the rooms. These rooms have 2 plugs and 2 usb ports. The food was excellent ad usual. But the service was the best. Everyone was so friendly and eager to always help. Hands down the best.

The whole trip was simply amazing. The service was excellent all around.

This ship is perfect for first time cruisers. I loved the experience, Cam our Cruise Director was amazing. We had so much fun and there's plenty to keep you busy. Dining service at dinner was excellent,ask for Achmad,Joshua,and Singh they are the best dining staff. Food is so good and you never run out of choices. Go to the shows and such and they do all kinds of raffles and you get free stuff. My daughter and I both left with free Diamond Necklaces. Such an amazing experience

For a short vacation was fun and lots to do. Good food and entertainment. Love the cruise director CAM!

Absolutely loved cruising in the Elation! Cam was an awesome cruise director and everyone was so nice! Only thing wished we had enjoyed the shows sooner than later but so glad we didn’t miss Love & Marriage; laughed into tears.

False information about kids activities that were supposed to be on the ship. Kids couldn’t get in the pool because it was basically a party for the adults. We tried taking them to the slides but they got ran off there as well. Got harassed in the elevator because I asked someone to please not cuss while my child was present. We had trouble sleeping because of how loud people were on our hall. Horrible experience!!

cruise was good, water was abit rough. I wish they would lower the drink limit and would lower the drink package price.
