We specifically wanted to do a Bahamas cruise for our Wedding Anniversary, we chose the Elation because Jacksonville was a reasonable drive from home for us. Overall, our experience on the cruise was magnificent! We booke Faster to the Fun so boarding was quick and easy and we went straight to our room and dropped our carry ons. Our cabin was larger than I expected and for a family of three was more than adequate, in fact it was perfectly comfortable. Next we ventured up to Lido for lunch. My wife and son opted for Guy's Burgers while I opted for Blue Iguana; in both cases the food was greatly enjoyed. Next we registered my son (8 years old) for Camp Ocean; from that point it was hard to keep him away from Camp Ocean, he loved it.

The rest of the first day we enjoyed the journey out to sea and generally relaxed.until it was time for dinner. The first night (and every night) we dined in the Main Dining Room, and each of those nights I found the food to be absolutely amazing and the service to be second to none. I heard no complaints from my wife and son either. Day two was a relaxing day at sea, and there were no complaints about anything; the food was great, the drinks were cold and smooth, and it was just fun!

The next day we spent at Half Moon Cay....Honestly, I could get lost here and just hang out forever, this was my type of place and I LOVED it! I do not recall a time in recent memory where I felt more relaxed, it was great!

Cabin was clean and comfortable. It was larger than I expected and we were fine with a family of three.
