After reading all the negative reviews of the Elation I didn't know what to expect. I was greatly surprised. The ship was clean, The Grand Suite was awesome ( a few signs of aging) The Service EVERYWHERE on the ship was excellent. The dining room staff, Guest Relations, Cabin crew and the bar crew were all extremely nice and helpful. The embarkation process was not as smooth as it had been in the past. I loved both ports and getting off and on the ship at the ports was very easy and orderly. We had a group of 8 in three different cabins and we all loved the cabin and crew. I wasn't real excited about the production numbers but had just seen the same shows on the Valor last month. The buffet was clean and not over crowed. The dining room for Sea day brunch was slow but no biggie.

I would certainly do the Elation again.
