Carnival Jacksonville Cruise Reviews

The cruise was chosen for us by dance director, but it was perfect. The size of the boat was perfect. It was too small nor too big, we could locate each other within 15 min. Our room had 3 adults in it, we had a standard room and while times it was tight it worked well for us. The dinners in the dinning room where superb, along with our waiter. He truly new his job and treated us as royalty. ...

The birthday girl chose this ship. We had a large group. The food in the dining room was horrible. If you went to the grill the lines were long. Seems like they would have more employees serving. Tiffanys buffet was OK until I found a finger nail in my mash potatoes. They have one person working the deli with a line. The cigarette smoke in the casino and bars were horrible. We have been on ...

We chose the Elation because it's close to Savannah, GA (Jacksonville, FL) and the dates matched up with our limited options. Five days to the Bahamas was just what the doctor ordered. We had a total of 9 people in our party spread out amongst 4 rooms. Our expectations were that we would have fun with one another, eat when we felt like it, and drink when we felt like it. The Elation was the ...

This was by far the best cruise we have ever partaken in. The crew were extremely accommodating. It always felt as though someone was attempting to make sure your needs were being met. The food was excellent. I can't say enough about our trip. Great job Elation! The only thing I would suggest is to not bring children to the nightly performances. They were adult oritented, I did notice the ...

had daughter , her husband and 2 kids in inside stateroom and wife and I were in balcony suite with 3rd grand kid. this arrangement was so that son in law & family could afford their 1st cruise. Good - the dining experience and most of the staff. Poor #1 Not a lot to see/do on this particular ship and our suite was directly under the weight room of the spa .People continually slammed ...

We were in cabin R145 which was the lowest floor for guests. I had read the reviews, which were not very good, and had prepared myself for the worst. We self parked and the walk with our luggage to the port was not bad at all. We did not do faster to the fun and had to wait in line. The line wasn't the worst but everything came to a standstill while waiting to go through security and it was ...

First, I have been on several cruises and this was by far the worst. Upon entering my room, i noticed 2 beds and a mattress on the floor on top of what looks to be a lawn chair type frame. I know I DID NOT pay to sleep on the FLOOR! So I go to guest services and they inform me that the pictures online are showing beds on the floor, which was a LIE. I know because i looked online before i ...

Summary – We enjoyed our four-night cruise to Freeport and Nassau. We do our research on CC before selecting a cruise and know what to expect as far as condition of the ship, food quality, etc. so we can adjust our expectations accordingly before embarkation. Hopefully this review will assist you in the same manner. Embarkation – Traveled to Jacksonville day prior to cruise. Arrived at JAXPORT ...

The crew is very attentive and hard working. Older ship is kept looking very good for its age. Cabins are in need of update but are o.k. some venues are too small such as jekyl and Hyde club. Overall it is what carnival advertises, a short, fun trip. Make sure to research excursions and book asfreeport and Nassau are must fleamarkets with bars if you don't make other plans. Embarkation is painfull ...

My 9 year old son really wanted to take a cruise as our family vacation, so we deicded on the Carnival Elation 5 night cruise out of Jacksonville, FL. It had been over 20 years our last cruise (my husband and I). After looking over reviews, it can be known that no cruise has an abundance of fabulous reviews adn many need to be taken with a grain of salt. We knew the Elation was an older ship, but ...
