Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

A fun cruise with plenty of activities for all ages (we had three teenagers who were plenty occupied during the trip). The food was plentiful and good with the pizza and burgers the favorites of the teenagers. We loved our visit to Half Moon Cay and Nassau and the embarkation and disembarkation was made much easier for us by buying the Faster to the Fun (worth every penny). Definitely can recommend the trip!

We loved our vacation the staff was really great the ship was very clean Luna on the staff was the highlight for our family we really enjoyed our time with him. Thanks to all for your hard work

Ship is very old and you can tell. Toilet broke on us twice. Housekeeping hardly cleaned our room. Hot tubs were not hot except in serenity. Food wasn’t very good in lido buffet for dinner. Pool area was very small. Elevators often out of service. No lobster dinner. Service in dining room very slow.

Very Relaxing will be traveling again. Enjoyed all the activities that was provided.

It was amazing everything was professionally done

The ship was older and small. The cleaning department done well keeping everything well-maintained, BUT the activities and entertainment was kinda boring. The food was just OKAY but the bar staff was amazing!

Ship is small really dont have alot to do on ship and crew sux never again would i do elation

Cam the director is very energetic and loves being involved. Definitely makes the trip more fun having a great director.

Our room service staff was Constantin, and he did an amazing job!!!! He always worked around our non-regular schedule and did an impeccable job, leaving our room spotless!

The only problem we had on this cruise was not because of Carnival. My son wanted to get his hair braided right at the port in Nassau. I paid $230 (plus $20 tip) for him to get his hair braided, and within 24 hours, he had lice so bad everyone in the cabin had to get special shampoo and he had to have a full lice treatment. I did notice that they used the same combs on everyone and such, but I said nothing. It was a nightmare, but, as I said, not Carnival's fault. I must say, though, that if Carnival knows this can happen, it might be nice to have been warned.

Enjoyed the ship, the food was good except for the Caesar salad dressing which was very bland. Guy Fieris burgers great. Need to add something more to room service breakfast menu like a sausage egg croissant. Lots of good shows to see. Maybe add some how to shows on cooking, Iphone/android camera usage etc on port days for those remaining on ship.

Overall, it was fine. The staff are hard working people and made it more enjoyable. The other passengers, however, did not. But tht's what happens when you get a whole bunch of people in one spot for multiple days.

Everything was great. Definitely worth waiting 5 months for.

First cruise in the books and I see many more in my future!! Food was great and plenty entertainment was amazing. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Everything on the cruise was just perfect. Cant wait to take another everyone on ship very helpful.

I never wanted to be "stuck" on a ship. A cruise never interested me. I was dx with cancer in 2016, it makes you re-evaluate your life. I made a "Bucket List" Best vacation ever! The staff and crew are friendly and welcoming. I can honestly say I was spoiled! Now looking to book my 2nd cruise. BTW God is good, I am a cancer survivor.

Getting off the ship was horrible. It took several hours of 2000 people all waiting together and no one let us know why.

Even with some issues we would go again. This was a Rest and Relax cruise and it did it's job.

Our granddaughters had a great time but we were disappointed with the room steward and guest services desire to help us.

Everything was good except for the beverage package rules, Drink package is very expensive, and it should not be compulsory to buy for all adults of a cabin. I have been on other cruise and I bought only for one person. Why in this ship it is mandatory to buy for all?
