Carnival Elation Review
Rating by category
Additional details
Of all of the carnival cruises I have been on (7), this is the most boring cruise ever.
I think there were probably 3 shows total for the whole cruise.
The timing of events was 1030-1045 on average. Too late for most and not that good. They've definitely declined. Our exciting entertainment on day 3 of our cruise was 9pm disco dancing in the theatre. Seriously.
Cabin Review
Ocean View
U241 on Elation:
Room on the very back of the ship.
The window was large but filthy. Bugs all over the outside.
Very LOUD engine noise and vibration.
The air conditioning was inadequate and don't believe it ever really got fixed. The room air temp as checked was 75 degrees (with the air on high).
On our last day---didn't need an alarm clock---the entire ship shuddered for 15 minutes at about 630AM and was loud. I won't book the back of the ship again--just thought the view would be different and maybe a nice change.
The beds were okay, not usual Carnival quality. Room layout was typical.
Room steward was invisible and not in a good way.
Our room was never really "clean".
Our bathroom smelled every day, even after cleaning.
