Fun and relaxing by BobbieBritt

Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

This is a smaller ship so you will feel the motion. If you get sick easily, bring medicine.

Very old ship! by kmw081769

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

We just wanted a nice weekend getaway. The food was the worst I have ever had on a cruise. The ship was so old. I would not recommend this ship at all.

Broken ship but amazing staff by bwilliams90

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

Please fix the ship and don’t lie about nothing being wrong with it. I get carnival doesn’t want to lose money but breaking down in the middle of the sea and telling everyone nothing is wrong is just plain lying. And continuing to sail with the stabilizer broken is just irresponsible since it caused so many on board to be motion sick the entire cruise.

Excellent Caribbean cruise by jcrowescuba

Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

This was a great trip. Great ship, crew, destinations, food, entertainment. The ship is older but well taken care of. The crew is one of the best in the entire fleet.

Mediocre Trip by alishaisaac

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

It was okay, lots of miscommunication from carnival employees when we called before getting to the port and once we got to the port. It almost seemed like we were speaking to two completely different companies.

My first cruise and a horrible experience. We couldn’t dock on 2 ports. The engine went up and we were stuck on the sea, it made the national news. 95% of its customers left feeling the same way. Some of the captains staff wasn’t polite by ncwomanofpurpos

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

My very first cruise and a horrible overall experience. There were many other passengers there who informed a lot of us not to be discouraged as they are regular cruises and this experience was the worse for them as well. I have never been in one location with so many unhappy customers! We are definitely due some sort of refund I will be officially complaining at another time

Horrible cruise, worst ever by Chriscasb

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

We have filed a complaint to the cruise line for a full refund of the cruise, they did provide us a refund of $50 per person, per port missed. This is not enough. Yes we did eat, and pay for drink package. I spend a lot of money in the casino due to boredom. The cruise was rocking to a point were they were handing out seasickness pills for free. I would say 75% of people were sick. My partner included, he was sick in bed for a day and a half. I was sick when I got home. The decision not to sail again was the talk of the cruise ship, It was very disappointing, this is my 5 cruise and never has it been so bad till now. Even a free cruise would be a option that I would consider, they need to make it right.
