Carnival Elation Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I had a great trip which left me with wonderful fun filled memories. The only thing I had a problem with is the price of the drinks. Other then that everthing was great!

We had a nice time. Although this was our first cruise and really have nothing to compare it to, I would definitely cruise again.

We loved the ship.

The overall impression of the ship was alright.

Ship was clean and comfortable, not too crowded feeling. Not much to do unless one wants to sit by the pool and drink.

In general my impression about the cruise was good.

The ship was in great condition. We were upgraded to a penthouse suite which was wonderful.

It was a nice and relaxing cruise. However we didn't get to go to the islands that were planned for the week because of tropical storm Chris. Instead, we went to an island that we had already been too and I wasn't really impressed with Freeport. It would have been nice to get a little refund on the cruise since we didn't get what we paid for.

Overall goood cruise, children activities age 13-14 were not very good.(14 year olds do not want to be grouped with 10 year olds!)

The stateroom was worn. Closets had big nicks and cracks...the shower smelled

This was my first cruise and I cannot wait to take another. Embarkation was very easy - and walking on the ship for the first time was very exciting. The setting was magical - When you enter the atrium, it is very bright and inviting, with the music trio playing on the stage. We enjoyed tropical drinks while waiting to sail out of Miami. Very exciting! The week was alot of fun for the adults in our group, who visited the casino and discos nightly and for our teenagers who took full advantage of the teen hangout. I was afraid that the ship would have more for young children and not alot for the 16 and 17 yr olds, but once our sons signed up at Club 02, they were busy , busy, busy.

The ship had a beautiful interior but it's old.Too noisy from the motors.couldn't sleep.

The Elation from Carnival Cruise lines is a dirty ship and smells real bad. The service is horrible, you do not feel welcome at all.

Excellent, everyone was so helpful and courteous

The ship has very clean and had a very pleasant crew.

It was a good cruise, my kids did have a good time without participating to much in the kids club (the did not like it)Food was avobe average and diner time is always great. Room allways clean. We loved the ports of call, great palces great shopping and option to explore. I will do it again any time.

The ship was great. Lots to do. Always something happening. The food was really good. The kids loved the water slide.

Carnival needs to do a lot of work on the Elation in order to compete with the newer ships. They also need to rework the activities and get some new menus. I will never take a Carnival cruise again. Royal Caribbean is the best.

The ship was very clean and easy to find your way around. The cabin bathroom was a good size. Our room steward and dining room waiter were especially nice and made our cruise experience even more fun!! We enjoyed the Elation and would recommend this ship to family and friends.

The ship was kept clean and the staff including the Captain were very friendly.
