This was the Elation's initial cruise to it's new port Jacksonville, Fl. my home town.
Our recent ten night cruise on The Elation was a disappointment. Our cabin M-182 was unbelievably noisy , Guest Services was very hard to reach and indifferent. I found the general condition of the ship in need of some tender loving care. The cabin closet and cabinets were the cheapest I have seen in 60+ cruises. The carpets were stained the bathroom sink barely drained.. My single bed had king size sheets and comforter. The bed visually sagged and the cabin could have used a good dusting..
I find almost all Carnival's food to be about the same and the poor waiters over worked.
