Review summary

This was a great spring cruise and it was very relaxing I enjoyed every moment!

Embarkation

2 out of 5
A complete mess is all I can say worst exp I've had at jaxport out of my 5 times sailing out of the port

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good and fresh but not a fan of the new Carnival dinner menus I miss the old ones.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The Ship is fun but being a older smaller shop there are less amenities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Entertainment was great!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff and Service was good but the crew seemed stressed

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Regardless of what most cruisers who wanna be critics say the Elation was a very clean and well kept up ship and the design is perfect. This was my 4th time on this Ship and I love this ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This Cabin was amazing it was on deck 9 the main deck and the room was 1 deck above the dining room and 1 deck below the top deck and the view from the balcony was incredible!

Ship tip

Don't listen to all the negative people who complain about this ship saying it needs to be scrapped I 100% disagree I love this ship and it is a great ship for a relaxing time.

Ports of call

Bimini, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Water was beautiful and there is a free tram service.

Jacksonville, Florida

3 out of 5
Not much to do but it's closer to my home than port canaveral so that's a plus

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Compared to the Embarkation the Disembarkation process was a breeze.
