Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I really enjoyed the ship. The ship was similar to the fascination I cruised 11 yrs earlier, however it was still great.

First cruise and I will definetly go again. Loved that we could depart close to home, that is always a plus!!!

Ship was okay. It was smaller than the last cruise I took, I missed the large screen for movies under the stars at night, and the stadium seating was nice on another ship I was on. The staff were all very nice, but several of us who had been on a cruise before made the comment that the staff wasn't as upbeat and lively as prior cruises. (One of us had just cruised 3 months prior to this trip).

very good, locations of rest rooms leave a lot to be desired. but all else is great.

First cruise. Had a nice time. Four nights is perfect for us.

Enjoyed it

While enjoying the buffet with family a brawl broke out right behind us. at least12 people were involved. Security finally broke it up but was scared for my grandchildren with me. Later at grill a huge argument starte when a man was screaming at the staff and was asked by another passengel to stop. Then after a fun day in cozamell while waiting to board the ship a shoving match between two parties started. Wow I had to keep kids with me to make sure they were safe

There were two small pools for a 2000 people. The activities were poorly organized. One even ran over and so they canceled the bingo game that was supposed to happen after it. The crew didn't seem to want to help or wait on us. They didn't seem to want to be bothered. Much less, most of them couldn't understand us, and we couldn't understand most of them. The activities were boring, and there weren't that many of them. This was my first cruise and I will never go again. Maybe other ships have more pools and more activities. But this boat was a big waste of my time and money. It wasn't even that clean. I was just most surprised at how the staff was so not helpful. I was always told how on a cruise you were waited on hand and foot. This is far from the truth for this boat! Also, the excursion was a ripoff! 3 hours of beach time, hard funky \"lounge\" chairs you can't even lay on your front to tan your back on, COLD disgusting food, and again attitude from the people who were supposed to be waiting on us.

Ship was small. Not much in way of activities and Food.

The ship was very well maintained and the staff was excellent!

The cruise was very relaxing and the food was excellent.

I was so glad we were on a smaller ship. Loved the staff and had a great time. I've already started planning my next cruise.

This vacation was the best. The trip to Preogresso and Cozumel were amazing. I loved the entire cruise. The staff were awesome and professional, but also friendly and funny.

It was clean and the staff was very friendly.

It was our first cruise so we were kind of nervous. We had an excellent time even though we went through a tropical storm...so that says alot! Will definately go again!

I was not impressed at all!!!!

Even though the Elation is an older ship, it is still in great shape. We enjoyed late seating for dinner since we traveled w/ teenagers. Always something for the kids to do, which left time for me and my husband to unwind and relax by the pool. Great trip!

I thought the ship was okay. It was clean but the windows in the room were foggy/smoky looking the entire time which made it hard to see out.

Had a great time! It was alot cheaper to fly into New Orleans compared to Florida, about half. Ship was beautiful, very clean, great food and always something to do that was fun for my daughter and myself. Ship was smaller than our last one but the cruise was shorter also, that's why.

Great Service, Great Food!
