Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

we had a lot of fun and were busy all the time plenty to do if you keep track of whats going on definitely would go again oceanview room was nice would recommend it

Horrible cruise line! Would use a different cruise line and travel some where than going on carnival!! Most of the staff could not speak English. The only activity was gambling while on boat unless your a drinker!

Wished I had cancelled the cruise when I was informed of ship changed. It was like the chefs on this cruise never cooked before nothing I mean nothing had flavor.. however I did enjoy the ice cream ... but all fat girls love ice cream!

Was very disappointed abou5 this cruise. Very unorganized, rude staff extremely long lines, bad food. No resolution was given for staff walking in on my husband and I in our stateroom.

It was so much fun, it was mine and my boyfriend's first cruise and it was a great experience. There was so much for us to do on the ship. The gym was a very decent size, we were happy with it.

Overall, excellent cruise. We will plan to cruise again with Carnival but be better prepared for Carnival's changes. I'd recommend Carnival in the future, particularly those with smaller children.

Cruise was okay. Cabin we had was shaking the entire trip. Unable to move us to another room. Lack of sleep caused our trip to be somewhat miserable.

We really had a good time and the ship was just fine. I wish Carnival offered some cruises out of Jacksonville heading to the north (like Canada and northeast US).

Price of the cruise was worth the money we paid. Overall, the family had a great time. Everybody was happy they went. Food was OK. We mostly dined in the dining room and had a flex time. The flex time allowed us to meet several great and wonderful people on the cruise.

Overall a great trip. My niece who was a first time cruiser had a great time. I also had a great time. The cruise director Kevin made the shows fun. The comedians were funny also. The food was good. We loved our dining room experience.

Relaxing, fun family cruise for the value that we paid. Entertainment was great, dining room food was fabulous and staff was extremely wonderful. Our teenagers had a blast in the Club!!

Although we enjoyed the Cruise immensely. Don't know if Cruising is the best avenue for our future family trips. Family reunions, on the other hand would be great. Don't have to see all members all the time. Just enough to avoid bringing up past family issues.

it was ok we had a nice time but not enough places to stop at. if we had more islands to visit I think we would enjoy more. the staff could have been more nice to the youth.

For our first cruise we chose the right voyage for our family. Jax Port is pretty easily accessible and we found our way around nicely. Besides two minor incidents with staff, we couldn't be happier with the entire experience! We look forward to future cruises. Steven and Pamela Mirabella and family

Good way to take a 4 day cruise out of a easy to get to port that is easy to park just outside of the cruise of the ticket counter and luggage drop off area. Nice get away!!!!

Best cruise ever taken, will definitely do it again. The staff on Carnival Elation is so wonderful. They are hardworking and so considerate. The waiters Domagoj, Ricardo, and Nestor were a cut above the rest! So funny and enjoyable and so very hardworking and attentive. the steward Kadek was unbelievable in meeting all our needs!

This was a first time cruise for our kids and they absolutely loved it. We will definitely be cruising with Carnival again. Next time I will make sure to pack more clothes though, because we seemed to be changing a lot!

Overall we enjoyed the time away. The ports are fun though we would have rather went to Nassau as originally planned before they switched it to Princess Cays. Not sure if we will travel with Carnival again as the cost people pay for cruises you should get impeccable service and amenities.

I'm not a frequent cruiser but I enjoy them. I felt lukewarm about this cruise and the overall experience. My take away is that next time, I'll do more research and find a ship/cruise that will provide the cruise experience I've come to expect.

Really disappointed. For what we paid we should have had all the bells and whistles, fun, staff interaction, amazing food, like our friends did on all their carnival Cruise. I don't think I can trust anyone else that says a cruise ship is amazing due to our ship.
