Horrendous

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

2-5 Cruises • Age 41s

Took my first Carnival cruise on the Elation from Jacksonville, FL - Nassau Bahamas 11/13~11/18/23 with myself and my teenager son. This was my second cruise overall, the first having been on Royal Caribbean in 2021. Worst mistake ever. Boarding was pretty smooth. Zero complaints. Upon boarding, went to Guy's burger place on deck 10 and it was rather delicious. Sailing out was everything I ...

So loud

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

Josie bell
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

The dinning room was crowded and loud. The attendant could hardly move around. The noise level was so loud I couldn't hear my companions that were seated next to me. Then a woman flashed to some people. That was the first night. We didn't go back until the 3rd night and it was just as loud, a young child apparently choked on her food and her father got up and did the upper thrusts until he ...

We just returned from our cruise on the Elation,over all it was ok but the food was awful.we had a suite which was very nice.This was my husband’s first cruise but I’ve cruised before.The entertainment could definitely need some help and the prices on the drinks was very high as expected.The crew was nice on and off the ship was a easy process and Gabe was awesome!Overall I asked my husband would ...

The service on this boat was awful 20 plus minutes at any of the bars to get a drink are rooms was hot the casino area was very hot long lines for everything. I don’t blame the staff the work very hard but they need help also karaoke was a big hit but way to short and kids should have their own place and adults their own Are dinner every night wasn’t great was not a good experience for adults ...

Great Trip, Bad Food

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

Michelleaspen111
First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

We chose this cruise as “first-time-cruisers”, learning every step of the way. We did everything from booking bunk beds, to booking late excursions and too early of a dinner time. Fortunately, Carnival is an amazing cruise line and did their best to ensure that we had an awesome time, and we sure did. The only thing that didn’t really sit well, was the food quality. The “dinner” served in the ...

I wanted to show my friends (first time cruisers) how wonderful you are treated on cruise ships. 1. Room was hot. After 3 attempt waking with migrane and my hair wet with sweat, called at 3am. Was told temp should be between 72 and 76. Since it was 74, I was offered a fan. It was covered w/dust. All I could think was it came from a room where someone had Covid and I was gonna get it from ...

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

6-10 Cruises • Age 40s

This was our first cruise to Bahamas we were super excited since usually we sail out Texas and you don’t see Bahamas from that destination, this ship was extremely small and only offered one pool, that’s awful to try swim or be out in water on sail days with one small pool. The food was awful the eggs were gritty and the food in dining room was less than great by far. They didn’t offer special ...

I would not go back onto this cruise only because we weren’t being taken seriously. our a/c was detected to 78 degrees and poor management being shown to us. I called the phone 3 times for someone to fix the a/c.I was told the technician was on break so I understand how that feels to be on break while having a job. So I waited a day to give it some time. I went to guest services because I’ve been ...

The Beautiful Bahamas

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

Googa
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

I have not been to the Bahamas and my oldest granddaughter was begging to go anywhere on a cruise. She was out from college for the summer and this one was a good time for her to go. The water is absolutely beautiful as is the scenery. But don't go in the summer. It is so hot and humid. The areas we went were clean and nice. Prices for t-shirts and sweatshirts were 40,50,60 dollars. The ship was ...
