Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The ship was not so big as i expected. This was my first cruise and everything ( food, services, staffs, shows) was perfect!

For the value it was a great vacation. Great food, not too crowed, friendly staff, clean facilities throughout. Everything I would have expected. The ship was older and the food isn't a 5 star restaurant but if you want a good time with lots of activities then this is for you.

Ship was well maintained and clean through out.

the ship was nice and clean. the only problem was they broke are luggage which is awful that they dont take care of your stuff.

This was my first cruise and I was impressed. I met alot of people and enjoyed myself. I plan on taking many cruises in the future. The crew was great, except a guy who had to clean a dancefloor of glass. He acted like he really was annoyed to do his job. I will go cruising again real soon.

It was what I allways dream of it

I liked when I purchased ticket and they guaranteed the price with Carnival onboard discounts which they refused to honor on board. Spent the whole cruise trying to straighten out the issue only to meet rude, disrespectful customer service. Totally ruined my vacation and would never book thru or Carnival Cruise Line ever again. This is my fourth cruise and I have never encountered such disregard for the customer and hostile customer service. Thanks Carnival, thanks . NOT!!!!

We enjoyed the shows and the ship was very well kept and tidy.

This was my very first cruise. I was alittle nervous but as soon as my feet hit the ship I was off and running. The activities, Art Auction and different lounges were wonderful. I can't stop telling frined s and family what a great trip I had. I am planning to go again in August for my birthday.

Although the ship is older, the Ship was very well maintained. The room stewart kept our cabin looking clean and fresh.

Teh ship was clean, staff were pleasant and would recommend others also will return to celebrate a family event.

it was a very nice cruise, room smelled a bit.

Overall we had a good time. The ship itself is pretty nice, the staff was friendly and the food was good. The entertainment was wonderfully cheesy. The highlights were the adult comedian shows and the adult hypnotist show.

Setting up a cash account for on board purchases is time consuming. Next time, we will definately use a credit card. Also, do not pick a room directly under the galley. They start doing dinner dishes and prepping for breakfast at about 11:45 pm and do not stop until about 3:00 am.

It was clean, even though it has been around a while.

Very relaxing

We were really impressed with the oveall size of our room on the Carnival Elation. We did an inside cabin and it had plenty of space...storage, closets, and drawers. The beds and pillows were extreemly comfortable. We slept well every night. We also loved the dining rooms. They were easy to find, large, and extremely efficiant.

The decor was not very modern, but was pleasing and clean. Nothing seemed new, but nothing looked like it needed repair.

We had the absolute BEST staff possible.. From our room steward, who took very good care of us, to our waiters--very funny, helpful and nice. To the Cruise Director, Stuart, who does his job with energy and humor. Definitely kept us laughing! Even on the last day when he jokingly announced that we had arrived in "Honolulu" when it was actually San Diego. The ship was in good shape and we felt pampered. This was to celebrate our 25th Anniversary, and we wish we hadn't waited so long for our first cruise. We wanted to book another one right after we got off the ship!

I thought the cruise was great. The staff were friendly and professional. I have recommended this cruise to many friends and family members.
