Jacksonville to the Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

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 ...

Jacksonville is a convenient drive-to port, and we had not been aboard the Carnival Elation previously. Booking our first back-to-back cruises, total 10 days, we were optimistic that we would not be bored. As 80+ though active passengers, we especially appreciate the perks of being "platinum" Carnival cruisers. With early check in, we went directly to our prepared cabin to unload minimal ...

chose this trip for convenience and price i guess....i can't recommend this ship......needs a remodeling, badly. the smell of raw sewage near the end was sickening, of course, and.should never be allowed. the bedding was beyond worn out. it was our third cruise with carnival in twelve months and overall we enjoyed the first two more. I've found carnivals crews to be friendly and hard working, ...

First if you are wanting a classy cruise, THIS IS NOT IT! The ship is old but clean. Our bed was comfortable but our friends bed was hard and not comfortable at all. We had a picture tube television in our room, kinda weird. The food was not very good. The food at dinner was so so quality. It seemed to all taste the same each night. Steak was tough one night but ok another night. The stage ...

We are relatively new to cruising but have quickly fallen in love with the spoiled lifestyle on the ships. This is our 3rd cruise in 2 years and we are going again in December. We have only gone on Carnival at this point because it seems they have had the best price every time we looked. This ship was in fair condition. It has a lot of damage to the decor in the Tiffany;s eating area on the Lido ...

We chose this cruise as our honeymoon. We had a great time - except for when my husband lost his wedding ring at Half Moon Cay. Due to searching the ocean for 2 hours we got really sunburned, so we spent most of our time on the ship. We didn't have any excursions planned, but decided to walk around the second port of call on our agenda, Nassau. I honestly hated it. The locals were incredibly pushy ...

We are a retired couple with, including the one under review, 42 cruises completed. The Eurodam is our fifth HAL ship. This was a full charter cruise with the theme of music of the '50s and '60s. Aboard as entertainers, to fulfill the legitimacy of the theme, booked through MaltShopcruises.com, were such notables as Frankie Avalon, Chubby Checker, Bobby Rydell, Darlene Love, Ronnie Spector ...
