Fun ship - some info for you
"One level above the pool is the smoking deck and no barriers to keep the smoke contained so it comes right down to the pool and food areas.There is a ping pong table but no timer so a few people monopolize it for hours at a time...."Read More

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

Took 5 day cruise to Bahamas on Elation. It is a Fun Ship! Everyone in our group including adults and children had a great time. Very nice staff. We loved Gabe, our cruise director, who was overflowing with energy and smiles! A few things to know about the Elation. It seems like an entry level cruise ship. Smallish and needing updating. Two hot tubs full of children <10 yrs old, plus two hot tubs ...

This ship and itinerary offers an affordable and pleasant cruise experience, providing expectations are modest & reasonable...There are few bells & whistles and flashy wows on this vessel but it's a solid cruise. The twenty-five year old ship is a nostalgic blast from the past, a reminder of what cruise ships were like back-in-the-day. Some reviewers say she looks tired and worn but I see the ...

We wanted a five day cruise on Carnival leaving out of Cape Canaveral in January. We booked in early November, so the new stricter vaccination protocols hadn’t started yet. Carnival was in constant communication with us regarding their requirements, I am very thankful for that.
The ship although somewhat older, was pristine, everyone wearing masks, and the crew was so kind and professional as ...

The Elation was renovated in 2017. The ship is beautiful. We stayed in extended balcony cabin. The room was very nice, comfortable and everything worked perfectly. This ship is smaller compared to the newer ones yet it offered excellent service throughout. The food was very good even though the choices are somewhat limited. No Crème Brule. We selected formal dinning this time. The dinning venues ...

This is a ship that isn’t a big topic on the boards (unless there was something to complain about it seemed) so I am happy to add some information to future cruisers considering the Elation or some info for those of you already booked!
To give some context for my review – on this cruise it was myself and husband (both 45) and our 16 yo daughter. This was our 6th Carnival and 7th cruise. We ...

Booked the cruise for 1-11 to 1-16-2020. So here's the bad: This was (by plan)a cruise to Amber Cove D.R. and Grand Turks. The Elation had "mechanical issues" that limited the speed to about 10 knots. This was too slow to to reach Amber Cove so this port was cancelled. The next day we were to go to Grand Turks. After a couple of attempts they announced the winds were too high to safely dock. In ...

I convinced my husband to go on a cruise for our 20th anniversary. I am now afraid I will never get him on another one. First, let me say that service, room steward, food were wonderful! I loved going to the dining room every night. The buffet food was ok, it’s just massed produced food, nothing spectacular. Guy Fieri’s Burger restaurant was great. The problem with the ship is the constant ...

I hate to badmouth, but I have no choice but speak my mind and speaking only about this Carnival ship, not the rest. You charge us that kind of money, we expect first class all the way! One engine was bad when we left and stabilizer didn’t work and rocking so hard, people vomiting and running to buy Dramamine! We were suppose to go to Dominican Republic and Turks and Caicos and we didn’t have ...

I went on this cruise with a friend who was meeting up with family. As soon as we sw the ship, we could tell immediately that the exterior needed reneviation. Upon boarding it was more of the same...the seats in the dining lounge were old and the food options were not what I expected..not lot of attention given to the quality. Our stateroom was actually decent as we had a balcony. The way the ...

Trip details: This was our third cruise on a Carnival Fantasy-class ship and we will likely do it again. Despite their age, Carnival’s refurbishment program has done a good job at maintaining and updating these vessels. Having done our pre-cruise homework, we knew exactly what to expect and were not surprised by anything.
Getting to the port terminal: We stayed at the Residence Inn by ...
