This was our first Cruise that we were Platinum members, our third cruise out of Jacksonville and our first time on the Elation. Our previous two sailing there were fun on the Fascination which was sent to San Juan. We did have a problem on this sailing as the ship was last getting back to port. We parked within eye sight of the ship, the people at the parking lot were excellence, they provided water and a shady area to wait. When we did get the ok to come to the ship. We made it to our room in under 20 minutes, of course the Platinum had something to do with that, but our last two times here we made it in appr. 30 minutes. The ship is an older model but it still has it's own charm. We have sailed on 4 other Fantasy Class ships so we know our way around them. The crew was great, we always had a clean room, our dining team was friendly and prompt. We didn't do any excursions due to sailing to these ports ( Nassau & HMC ) numerous times. We did enjoy the shows as we were chosen to participate in the "Divas" and I won my wife the Title of Divas for the night. She danced with the ship's dancers. The days at sea were quiet and enjoyable as we spent time on the Serenity Deck. We really enjoyed our stay on the Elation, even disembarking went smoothly. We will sail out of this port and on this ship again as it is the easiest port we have been to...
