Sail Date: Nov 2013

Our Carnival Cruise for our 26th anniversary was out of New Orleans. This was the easiest port ever to embark! In less than an hour from the hotel shuttle dropping us off, we were on the Lido eating lunch with DOD in hand!

The Elation is a beautiful ship, the decor is so pretty and the ship is very clean. It is a smaller ship, Fantasy class, and we have sailed on the Fascination so we were familiar with the layout. The crew was wonderful, very happy and friendly and helpful.

The only thing I did not like about the cruise was Cozumel. The vendors on the streets were very aggressive, to the point that it made you uncomfortable. Progreso was great, the military presence was kind of disturbing, but the excursion to the ruins was wonderful, our tour guides were great and the bus was comfortable.

Cabin Review

This was a nice cabin, good sized and comfortable. My only complaint is the big box in the corner that holds the life vests. You have to climb over the bed to get to the window and it was not easy for this old lady and I LOVE to look out the window. We had a king bed configuration and this would not be a problem if you had a twin set up.
