Wouldn't Do It Again by shaneio

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Elation

Overall it's fine, but I wouldn't do it again. Not worth the money and the bombardment of cheap money grabs.

Terrific by annette64

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Elation

We had a wonderful time for our first cruise experience. The food was great, so much to do on board. The crew was so friendly and they did everything to make it a great experience. Are cabin Stuart was so friendly, he called us by our names it was truly a great experience.

First cruise in a while, not Great, but OK by wagoss56

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Elation

The internet worked ok, but it was difficult switching devices. I had to go through customer service and they had to charge and then credit my account for another package before they could get it to work (after several tries). Everything I switched devices, e.g. iPad to laptop, it took 4-5 tries before it worked. Speed was ok for working from the laptop. The fact that you can't load the app once you sale was also troublesome. We had one member that forgot to load the app and unless we pay for internet, they couldn't download the app. Speaking of the app, they need a way to allow the user the adjust the reminder times. A default 15 minutes often was not enough

Perfect by tiffanygartmon

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Elation

Love how attentive and courteous the staff were. Everyone made you feel welcome and the staff that dealt with you directly would always remember your name. Great great trip. Hated for it to end.

A poor experience with this booking agent. Got the run around and after I was told a refund was coming they still haven't provided it. Be aware when booking.

Ship: Carnival Elation

If you only have a few days to get away, this 5 day cruise to Bimini/Nassau will feel like a vacation.

Absolutely Amazing by BusyBeeQuality

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

It truly felt like you were with family. This was our very first cruise. I can’t imagine ever wanting to sail with another company. Nassau was a little too busy for our liking but we found a lot of great things to do there.

Not worth it by krystalgayle

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

This was my first cruise and I wouldn’t do it again. The amount of money I had to keep spending that I wasn’t aware of was crazy. There were lines for everything and the food was ok. Everyday I had to walk around trying to find a beach chair. The only good thing was the dinner staff. Daniel and Ramsey were amazing! They remembered our names and were so attentive. They even cooked us a native dish from their country!!!

Our First Cruise by henson197

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

We Loved everything about our cruise except our excursion in Nassau. The Food, service, shows, entertainment, relaxing on the boat were all awesome. We talked to customer service about our excursion and how bad it was, they didnt seem to care and never communicated further as they promised us.

Don’t buy the internet plan, we spent 170$ and it didn’t work! When I asked guest service about it, they just said that it’s ok and sometimes something was going 😑 by eg225118

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

It was our first cruise and we were very excited about this trip. But high price for unworking internet is not good, we spent 170$ for nothing. We couldn’t use it. And when we had accident during the dinner in restaurant personnel didn’t come to us to discuss the situation and they didn’t say sorry for injuries. I was disappointed that fact.

Pluses and minuses by patrickg03

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Bahamas

Over all I will not sail Carnival ever again. The good parts were the excursions and getting off the boat. Getting back on at ports was frustrating. The people attending the check in points were needlessly rude to everyone. Making sarcastic remarks to an elderly couple and a younger couple in front of them for not understanding what they said. Even worse to a foreign couple behind us who was a different culture entirely and had a hard time understanding. Seems to me they don’t like their job.
