Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We had lots of photos but they are expensive to buy

This boat is old, and even though it's been renovated, they can't possibly replace everything. Half of the elevators didn't work half the time, so we were pretty much forced to take the stairs the entire time. The cruise director wasn't great either. We only saw her twice the entire time. The food was pretty good, especially the burgers and the fine dining. This ship has very little for kids to do, so if they don't enjoy the kids club (which ours didn't), they're pretty much out of luck. We were never able to play putt-putt golf or ping pong because they were always taken and putt putt didn't have enough balls. They should have sign ups or something for ping pong so that everybody gets a chance to play. Our refrigerator didn't work for the first 2 days, and it took 5 calls to Guest Services for them to finally replace it. We had a good time, especially on the excursions, but we'll definitely choose a different ship next time.

Loved the summer camp for kids my daughter really enjoyed the staff. Very kind staff there.

It was an ok cruise. I wish it was more to do as far as adult activities. It was some of the same things going on every night

This was cruise was good , the activities and shows overlapped eachother slot but overall great cruise Melissa was great

it was awesome....i will surely come back. Staff was awesome, the food was great...

Needs to have more staff especially monitoring for slick floors. Needs elevator dedicated to elderly and disabled only and have more room for navigating motorized wheelchair/scooters. Would be nice if you change attitude of general public but that is impossible. So many rude people and very frustrated.

This was our first cruise with our kids. They had an awesome time and really enjoyed the onboard camp. I got the interior room because I was told it was great for families, and I totally disagree. The room was way too small for the 4 of us. Overall the boys loved it and we will be cruising again with Carnival!

No AC in room, Nassau is gross. be prepared to stand in line A LOT!!!!

Overall we enjoyed the cruise and had a great time. The upgrades to the ship were really nice, and the crew and staff were above and beyond great, going out of their way to be super nice and courteous and assuring our every need was addressed. As stated above the only real negative is the fact that the lobster shack was not operating the day we were on Half Moon Cay and everyone in our party was really looking forward to enjoying lobster on the beach. I think we should have been informed about this before we had to find out the hard way. Would still recommend the cruise as we had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful Caribbean sun and scenery, and of course the food.

Spent time with family ...........................

So, i'm comparing this trip to the Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Sea (OAS) has 6500, Elation holds 2000+, one small pool, nothing good for kids to do, one small water slide...for the collage kids who want to drink, ok, for a family.....go Royal Caribbean and pay the extra $200 per person...it will be worth it!!!!!

From beginning to end it was the best vacation we have ever taken and was an excellent celebration of out 40th wedding anniversary. We certainly will sale with Carnival again.

I and my 12 year old daughter did this trip. My expectations were quite low as I have read and heard many negative Carnival reviews, and we have sailed with Disney and Royal Caribbean. This cruise was an absolute blast! Our embarkation was far easier and more civilized than I have experienced. Once aboard, lunch was served (Guy's Burger joint is the real deal - awesome) and we were free to explore. Throughout the cruise, our room was lovely and expertly attended, I cannot compliment enough the stateroom attendants. The pool and waterworks were amazing and had plenty of space, lounges and sunshine. Our port excursions were fun and seamless to get to and from. The evening entertainment was a favorite for us; we even watched the Epic Rock performance twice. There is a lot of energy and fun for all ages on this cruise.

It was great everyone was nice and helpful all the passengers wasn't so pleasant but all in all we had a great cruise.

Fun experience for my boyfriend birthday trip will cruise again

This was our first cruise! It was fun and exciting. The staff made this trip wonderful. The music and entertainment was fsntastic! We’ll definitely be cruising again 💪🏼

I took my daughter and 5 of her friends for their senior trip and had a wonderful, relaxing time. A cruise was the best decision for us. They were able to do their own thing but still be safe and in a controlled environment.

Staff very friendly, food was excellent great quick get away for local area residents. Use the Jaxport parking, it is worth the extra money.....you'll be glad you did!

The disembarking process needs to be improved. 2.5 hours to get off the ship. I scheduled my flight out 4hrs to allow time to catch flight. Disembarking took too long, then you're in a longer line oustiside. Thankfully one of the staff members took me to customs and I didn't miss my flight
