I would not sail with carnival again by CindyW2

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

I do not think I got my moneys worth. the service was not like other cruses I have sailed with. the drinks were TERRIBLE.... imagine going 5 days without a good cup of Coffee !! the staff was not as freindly as other cruses... I will not take a Carnival cruse again. I paid for a room with a veiw.. the windows were so dirty, I could not enjoy it...

Nice Cruise by KurtB1

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

Overall ship was fine. I didn't have a problem with the size but the pool on the Lido Deck was too small. Rooms were small but efficient. Public areas were clean and nicely appointed.

A huge disappoitment by Sondra

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

I was very disappointed with carnival cruise. I have been on other cruises but they werent carnival. The ship was very old and out dated. My air in the room didnt work well and I was so hot. The bathroom sink had duck tape around it to stop a leak. My shower had mold in it.Usually there are several show to watch. There was only one at night and nothing to do during the day. The food wasnt good at all even in the formal dining room. The only drinks u could get with out paying were lemonade, glass of water , not water bottles and unsweet tea.

Most Amazing 40th Birthday Cruise!! by ValerieF

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Western

This was a special cruise to celebrate my 40th Birthday with 2 of my best friends. The port was convenient to all of us but the ship was even better than we expected. Our entire 4 night experience was awesome, we could not have asked for more!

Room for improvement by JohnC46

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Western

The ship itself wad nice, although it was in need of some updating. We were very underwhelmed with the food with some nights having very poor quality meals that no one finished. The shows were very bad, and left us wondering if anyone that worked on the ship actually watched them and thought they were entertaining. Some of the non-choreographed shows were actually quite good. The staff on the ship were great and all could not have been nicer.

Exceeded my expectations by CynthiaR

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

This was my first cruise with Carnival and the trip exceeded all of my expectations from the type we boarded the ship until we returned home. Cabin was more spacious than expected and the staff provided excellent customer service.

Didn't know what to expect! by AmandaH5

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Elation / Destination: Caribbean - Western

The rocking of the ship was what irratated me the most. I was told you don't really feel the boat moving but it was difficult to even walk straight with all the rocking of the boat. There was not that many activities to do on the boat and the ones they did have were misleading. For example, we were excited for the liquor tasting but then they only offered me about 1/4 of a shot all together. The waitstaff was very slow every night for dinner. And the staff in general was not very friendly and seemed to give the impression that they only wanted to sell you something all the time. The pool and hot tub was closed more then half of the trip which we were planning on swimming the first day and were unable to till the next day late in the afternoon.

The Elation was just the right size for us. We loved the adult only area.However we also love children those on the ship seemed to have lots of fun on the slide as well as my adult son and I.

An excellent cruise with positive energy by JustinM1

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

The ship was laid out very well. Took a mintue to get used to where everything was at, but it was easily learned. The staff and everyone involved with Carnival were nothing short of amazing, friendly, and courteous! From the food to the entertainment to staff, Carnival is on top of their game with the cruise industry!! Great boat!!!
