Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The only thing we would do differently is our room upgrade we didnt know it was bunkbeds til we got there! And the internet was horrible! It was our honeymoon so it was fun!

We loved it. Will travel again soon Carnival is our cruise line of choice. We love it. The staff is great and really makes us deal special. The any time dining option is the best. We met so many amazing folks.

Everything about the cruise met or exceeded our expectations except the casino. Everyone used the casino as the designated smoking area, and the ventilation was terrible. We were a party of eleven, with four vegans, the chefs made special vegan meals for us every evening. The buffet had plenty of fruits and salads and even had a veggie burger and fries.

This is the ONLY cruise we have had a bad experience on. Ironically, it is the only cruise where we have splurged and gotten a suite... worst decision of the whole cruise, in this case! Do NOT book a jr suite on the Elation if you want to get any sleep or if you are expecting anything other than a regular balcony room!

The staff makes cruising memorable. There's something magical looking out with the ocean on all sides. It's a great get away.

It was a great time if some disappointmenting changes since 2014 and some good upgrades. The room AC broke the morning we went to leave the ship, nothing like sweating right after a shower then breakfast, but they did have it fixed by the time we got back on board.

Food was less the average. Cruised a many times on Carnival and continue to find quality of food going down.

Ship exterior in dire need of refurbishment. TV selection useless. Entertainment subpar. Wait staff was best entertainment on ship. Food on Lido deck buffet was not great. Guys hamburgers was best bet most days.

Really enjoyed the Cruise Director. The Hasbro games were a lot of fun. The Comedian (from Greensboro, NC) was really funny. We didn't see the other comedian. The music/rock performance was really loud! We didn't go, and couldn't sleep while it was going on. Overall good time.

Update the interior. Find better singers and dancers. Make the drinks stronger. Overall, I had a blast.

The cruise was nice, the staff was ok in comparison to other cruises. The food was just ok, I would have liked more options on the buffet. But it was kind of hit or miss.

Our group was from age 2 to 63, all had a good time. Don't expect gourmet dining , if you do I highly recommend the Chefs Table $90. Sea Day brunch (included) is also great. Do your dining in the dining rooms, the Lido deck buffet is the worst. Food, quantity, diversity and quality is D+. Guys Burgers and Blue Iguana are awesome! Pizza is too. And the Carnival Deli (by the Pizza area) was amazing as well! Beds are comfy, entertainment is fun! Ship is clean and the staff is very attentive. Plan on taking stairs more than usual as some elevators weren't in order.

We had a great time on the cruise. We would certainly cruise on this ship again!

This was not a showcase cruise for Carnival. There were so many deficiencies in logistics and service. The boat and the crew seemed really tired and worn.

SAID WE HAD A ROOM CREDIT WHEN WE BOOKED BUT CARNIVAL SAID THAT WAS NOT THE CASE, THEREFORE WE DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY ROOM CREDITS

I've only taken a few cruises in y life and this is the only one I didn't feel good about. I was just OK. I'd also like to have known the services for a priority customer because other than the boarding/unboarding process and having our separate line at guest services I didn't feel like one.

The whole cruise was wonderful. We will go on another within the year.

It was good to get to spend time with together we laughed so much out faces hurt. Cam out cruise director was fun. We had a great time. Planning another cruise for next year

Wonderful four days! On sea day went to brunch in main dining and enjoyed French toast encrusted in fruit loops. Also, tea time is a nice.
