I had a great time on the elation. I thought that for the money which is very reasonable this is a great deal. The good was really good especially lunch and dinner buffets/dining room. Crew was friendly and attentive. I dont know why all these other people arent giving better reviews. Maybe they were expecting to be waited on hand and foot. Its a cruise ship, many other fellow cruisers.... expect to wait a little bit besides your on vacation..... relax!! I had a blast and got the cheers pass but just know the day you get it your have to get it every other day on the ship. I certainly got my 15 drinks a day lol.....
