Review for a North America River Cruise on American Star

Oceansmymotion
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We love American cruise lines. It is geared for the older population. You are treated with respect and compassion. The ship we were on, the American Star only holds about 100 passengers, but there were only 50+ passengers. It felt like having your own private yacht. The onboard entertainer Mark Farris was wonderful. The cruise director Jenn Starr was amazing. The guest speaker Dale was so ...

Never on Carnival again

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

Nikela92
6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

I have been on several cruises and this ship was the worst. I have cruised Norwegian and Royal Carribean and the food , entertainment was superior to the buffet food on the Elation. I took my daughter to her first cruise and I was embarrassed because of the lack of food variety at the buffet. (Choices were the same for the five days)/ I am scheduled to bring my granddaughter on her first cruise ...

This company has no integrity, tells you anything before boarding-once on board treats you as if your lying.

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

Before my husband and I got on the cruise we purchased: The build is bear (1) Picture package for $99:00 for 5 photos. When going to the build a bear appointment I was informed that it did not show that neither of us had pre-purchase. I let this pass even though I should not have. However, when our Pictures were displayed. I was yet again told there was no proof that we bought the ...

Need a vacation from my Elation Vacation

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

Scarlett954
2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

This cruise is entirely too small for the people that they pack in. The food lines were extreme, so you end up eating at odd hours to cut down your wait times. But there was always a wait. I waited 20 mins for a Turkey sandwich which when I bit into it, a large glob of fat was like bouncing rubber. There is only one very small pool for the entire ship and it is constantly packed. The water ...

First time cruising/ something to be desired

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

Ladyscarlet2000
First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

My husband and I went with seasoned cruisers since this was our first time. The ship itself was beautiful and most of the staff were welcoming and pleasant. However, the room stayed rather warm. This rocked and swayed really bad the first couple of days. . Glad I wore my ear patch. I asked twice for an extra pillow and did not get one, I had to get my ship card changed because it wouldn’t open my ...

Good 5 day cruise

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

I’ve done 20+ on carnival. I chose this cruise out of Jacksonville because it was reasonably close and cheap. No way would I do this cruise if I didn’t cruise several times last year. I was very surprised and delighted how it has been refurbished. Everything is very clean and painted, with little rust. Bedside charging outlets are new. Huge flat screen. The crew was superb. The ...

The Price Is Right

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

owsaw
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

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 ...

Disgusting Cruise for 1st Timer

Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Elation

BrookBenson
First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

My mother chose this cruise for mine and my sons first cruise for our Mother/Daughter trip. We were disappointed from the time we stepped in our cabin Suite U75. First, we had faster to the fun which meant our room should have been ready when we boarded ship at our appointed time of 10:30am. It wasn't ready until 1:30 pm. With a 4 year old and carry on bags made it difficult. Once we got to ...

A Little-Known River System With Some Wonderful Ports

Review for a North America River Cruise on American Star

DouglasW
10+ Cruises • Age 80s

We have traveled a lot, but have missed much of the USA. Our friends recommended American Cruise Lines (ACL) for both the quality of the cruise and the excellent on-board speakers and entertainment all keyed to the river and itinerary. We are seeing America on American Cruise Line. We didn't know about the St. John's river prior to this trip, and while we have visited Florida many times have ...
