Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I had a great time, and would love to go on another cruise one day.

Overall we had a fantastic time. The staff and crew were exceptionally courteous. I cant even rave enough about how amazing Chris was. He truly was one of the nicest, funniest people I have ever met and he seems to be made of pure energy. The food was delicious, though some dishes were remarkably small portions requiring multiple orders to get a satisfactory portion (the seared Ahi had 3 pieces of tuna about 5cm long x .6cm thick on a huge plate). That aside, all the food was quite tasty. The only real disappointment was the singer I mentioned above that made most of the shows difficult to enjoy.

If you are not a "fun" person, don't get on a carnival cruise. This line is really more for laid back people who don't nit-pick everything to death and are easy to please. If your a stick-in-the-mud, old-at-heart, a jaded a-hole, or everything just has to be perfect for you, get on a more "refined" cruise line like NCL.

Foods and entertainment are desperately needs serious improvement

overall it was a really fun trip, just wish traveling with the baby was a little more accommodated, and that our trip to Freeport wasn't wasted. but staff and food and drink were great.

First time cruise, excellent experience. Loved the Grand Suite and the room service. Needless to say, Halfmoon Cay was an out-of-this-world experience.

We had a good time. 5 days was long enough for all of us.

This was a great starter cruise. I will be back for sure. Already working on planning our next one.

We had a good time! We especially enjoyed the island stops. Daughter got a bit seasick on the ship but Dramamine kept it in check. There were a lot of people so it was hard to find peace and quiet except in our room.

Other than being enjoyable, we brought back a lot of memories. We really enjoyed the islands and the water was beautiful. We enjoyed the shows that where performed.

Could have been a lot better, the Grand Suite is not worth the additional cost.

Our first cruise and we loved it. You've just got to go for the experience if nothing else. We can't wait to go again.

All in all, we had a good time. Normal staterooms are not good for a couple and a 2 year old. Way too small. Elevators were lacking, ship design just okay.

I think I summed it up above. Many families not happy. I will not cruise Elation again.

Overall we had an excellent time. The staff and entertainment was great!

Shout out to my homies Sergei, Ashton, Maurice and Rizal. These guys really take a great ship and turn it into a five-star resort experience!

This was a great cruise for my boys and I! We made great spring break memories and I would def consider taking this cruise (or sailing on this ship) again. Even though its one of their smaller vessels, it only meant less people on the boat, which is not a bad thing. It was great!

We had excellent service beginning with booking the trip with Paula to disembarkation!

Enjoyed being able to eat at anytime, always had something to do. Everything was clean and everyone was very friendly. Ready to go back!

This was my first cruise so I don't have anything to compare it too. I'd like to take another cruise sometime on a different ship as I feel I started out on too small of a boat to give a real opinion of a real experience. It was fun being with my family (we had 4 cabins) and the island experiences were great.
