Elation Review, November 9-13, 2009

Our family recently enjoyed a wonderful Carnival Cruise to Ensenada and Catalina on Carnival's Elation. Our family consists of my husband, an 11 year old son, a 10 year old daughter, a 7 year old son, and myself. Unfortunately, the Elation has no adjoining cabins, so we divided our family into two separate cabins: a guys cabin, and a girls cabin...right next door to each other. This arrangement worked out well for us, but we would have much preferred having adjoining rooms with a connecting door so my DH and I could have shared a room.

We arrived in San Diego on Friday, Nov 6, and stayed at the La Quinta at Hotel Circle for a really low rate - which included breakfast and free parking. We saw the Lion King at the Civic Theatre on Friday night., which everyone enjoyed. Then we went to a little dessert place we have been to in the past, Extraordinary Desserts: http://www.extraordinarydesserts.com/desserts.htm Our kids were too tired to dine in, so we took a couple of desserts back to our hotel room to share. Mmmmmm.

Spacious out door cabin (R127 & R131). Hallway was not noisy. Bathroom was well designed and user friendly. Comfy beds. In room safe was very convenient. Good closets.
