Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This cruise provided everything I was anticipating and more. Boarding was well organized, my cabin was so comfortable, relaxing and clean. My experience was absolutely amazing. The food, drinks, staff, pools, lounging decks, casino and entertainment was perfect. I really enjoyed my first cruise and look forward to many more.

This was our first and last Carnival cruise. Even though the ports were beautiful, the food and shear number of inconsiderate guest on this cruise we will prefer to sail with another company

Cruise was great. Only problem on way back was when a stabilizer went out and the ride was a wee rough. Got ill. Not what I had in mind.

Celebrating birthday and wedding anniversary. Kid free, drink package and no worries!

Decent experience for a older ship. The dining room was average at best. Best food on the ship is Guys burger. The hallways and room smells like mildew. The staff was always nice.

I was charged for things i did not get and also i was unhappy with the rest of the crew other than our cabin steward

Need more activities on the ship like basketball or something along those lines.

I’ve taken this cruise twice now. Both times I’ve really enjoyed them. I will say that Grand Turks doesn’t offer a lot of different activities. So just enjoy the beach time there. The water and sands are awesome.

this cruise was just ok for me I broke my leg 6 weeks before my cruise, had to rent a scooter and was unable to do alot of the normal things I'm used to doing. also had severe motion sickness due to having to get around on the scooter. (we have been on 16 cruises and I have never been sea sick) we have excellent service and made some life long friends lithesome of the staff.

Enjoyed our cruise from Port Canaveral. The service was excellent. Loved the beach at Grand Turk.

As a first time sailer on Carnival., I was dissapointed. I did not see the fun ship that was advertised. We were just kind of hearded along and seemed to be in the staffs way. First and last trip on Carnival. I would rather stay home.

I would have given this experience 5 stars if it weren't for the food quality - that was the only real negative I have for this trip. Everything else was darn near perfect!

My wife and I were married on a Carnival Ship, and have sailed on several different cruise lines. For the price, Carnival usually provides good value and experience, but there was a marked decline in service, cleanliness and attitude on this one. I found it a little disappointing having staff roving through the crowds selling shots and drink tumblers, and charging extra for the items I am used to receiving as part of the cost of the cruise. Add on to that the mechanical failure of the boat that caused us to miss our port of call - and then discovering that the previous cruise had the same problem, added to the disappointment. All machine break - I get that. But it seems like the company put the profit ahead of the necessity to ensure that the boat was running and that they could actually complete the trip that we booked and paid for. Despite all of what I said above: If I had one thing to say to Carnival, I would tell them that it costs nothing to have staff greet the customers and smile, and that one simple thing can eclipse a lot of lapses and mistakes.

Overall it was good. I wouldn’t say great because they continue to send the boat out knowing it’s not fixed. If they continue stopping in the Bahamas, they might as well stop advertising Puerto Plata. Almost is false advertising because are continuously not getting what they paid for.

I will never sail with carnival again. Or recomend

horrible ship hot smelly unfriendly staff never again will I book on liberty ship

I went with a bestie for a momcation. All we did was eat, sleep and sun! It was glorious.

Horrible trip as they knew the ship was not in operable condition to leave but did anyway and cost over 1200 bucks for one day in Bahamas

Very bad experience, horrible, waste of time, smdh

I booked two rooms, one was dirty with directory missing from the in room phone. Getting on the ship was fast and easy. After the first night they told us there’s a problem with the ship and we’re not gonna be able to make it to our destination. We ended up going to Bahamas instead. We spent a whole day in terrible Bahamas. We ended up having 3 days at sea instead of two. They ran out of sea sick patches after the first day. The only compensation we got was $100 added to our sign and sail card and 50% off of a NEXT cruise. They know the $100 has to be spent on the boat so in reality we didn’t get any real compensation for something that wasn’t our fault. BE AWARE AND DO NOT BOOK WITH THE CARNIVAL ELATION SHIP.
