Not a wonderfull cruise by champ0914

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

The cruise itself 100% didn't enjoy because we didn't go to our original destination. We was on water more the land.

Rocky trip!! by fantasticlife14

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

I love cruises.... but this was the worst experience I’ve ever had! Everyone on the ship was suffering from motion sickness for days! I at least saw 3 people throw up right in front of me!!! The boat was rocky ALL NIGHT AND DAY! Most people didnt show up to dinner or entertainment because they were so sick! If you decide to go on this ship make sure you’re stocked up on Dramamine!!! My husband and I spent 4 or the 5 nights in the cruise SICK TO OUR STOMACHS!!

Excellent Cruise - Turks and D.R. by Dbrooks72

Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Cruise was relaxing and entertaining. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. There was plenty to do on-board so there was very little moments of boredom. Definitely recommend.

Worst experience ever! by elc408

Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Eastern

Not pleased at all with the way this vacation went. Items billed to my credit card without my permission or knowledge of it. Very very disappointed.

Last Carnival cruise for us by CarnivalBruise

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

Carnival really let us down on this one. My extended family are frequent carnival guests but agreed that it’s been slipping of late. They too cited lack of dress code enforcement and quality of dining as a reason to seek other options. Surprised that we could pinpoint what rooms had people smoking weed but no one did anything about it as it was there all 6 days... if I had it to do again I would have spent my money and enjoyed Florida more and stayed off the boat.

Adventure Filled Caribbean Trip by scordrick

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

Caribbean trip on an older ship made for a fun experience. Although we didn't love every part of our week, we did try and make the most of our time onboard and do as many of the little things as possible.

Beautiful Caribbean Vacation by dschwartz000

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

Overall a very nice cruise. We had not gone with Carnival (Royal Caribbean was out last two) so we did not know what to expect. The balcony room was good and the food in the dinning rooms was very good. Buffets were too crowded with long lines. The food was very similar day after day at the breakfast buffet. Wish there was more variety and more tropical fruit choices (Royal often had fresh Papaya, Mango, Pineapple and Guava for instance). Here it was honeydew and cantaloupe most days. The shows were nice and the on ship Effy jewelry stores were well priced and nicely staffed. My 12 year had a great time on the water slides and arcade. The ports were very nice and the 5 days was a perfect amount to get away form the stress of work without feeling you were away too long.

Never taking Carnival again. by ncckeeton

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

This was a birthday cruise for me, for us to get away for the weekend. I would have gotten more rest and enjoyment staying home. The excursions were fine and enjoyable. The one thing I can say that was nice is that we met some nice people. We have pictures of some of the issues of the ship if anyone wishes to contact us. Your uploading process is not opening up to work for me to load pictures. Very disappointing cruise.

Excursions were great! by barbi1963

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

I was traveling with my 18 year old niece. My suggestion is do NOT get the Wi-Fi package otherwise you will just see the tops of your teenagers heads and that is all. That was my mistake, just trying to be thoughtful. The cruise, staff and food were a bit less than I expected, but I generally use Princess, so I may not be the best judge,

Excellent trip! by garydareubank

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

Great first ever cruise. First time out of the country for my 3 adult children (19 - 26) and they will very likely be cruising again from this experience. But be prepared to be overwhelmed with the things you can do both on and off the ship. Cruising can wear you out if your not paying attention! :-)

Beautiful Honeymoon by zakiyatoney323

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

Overall, this was an amazing cruise. We loved the destinations. This cruise fit the length of time that we wanted for our honeymoon, during the dates we had available and allowed us to visit countries that were new to us, together.

Worst Caribbean Cruise by slimgoodyma1

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

This was the worse cruise it was dirty flies on all the food the lemonade was disgusting. Staff provided bad service. not much of a choice for people who don’t eat pork staff were rude had no manners. A low budge cruise. Its a rip off they take gratitude and triple tax on everything you buy

“It was kool” Cruise by aliciadarjones8

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

Overall this cruising experience was ok. The staff was nice and the food was pretty good. Just not enough staff to monitor the food to ensure kids aren’t sticking their hands in food. One kid dropped the spoon on the floor and put it right back in the pan.
