   A wonderful cruise by
Jane Plunkett from Detroit Mi. Sailing date: Apr 2013Pros: Everything Cons: Service desk service. The ship was clean and the cleaning staff were wonderful. I have no complaints other than the service desk person. When we dropped our luggage at the port it showed up in our room with the whole wheel and casing missing, there was a big hole where the wheel should have been. We called the service desk and took the case down there, the service lady told us to "pick up a new one in Cozumel and bring it back on the ship with the receipt:" where we would receive a credit up to $100. We didn't argue because the area was packed but we found that solution completely unacceptable, we had no intention of dragging a huge piece of luggage around Cozumel with us and didn't want to spend our precious few hours shopping.
I feel that Carnival should have replaced our suitcase for us and delivered a new one of similar value and size to our room. This was a brand new suitcase and we ended up picking up a couple of nylon bags from the gift shop to pack our belongings in, they were difficult to maneuver and ended up with a broken wheel because they were so difficult to drag around. Completely unacceptable and I would question using or recommending Carnival as our cruise line of choice for that reason only. I feel that after the problems Carnival has had the staff would be much more helpful with our situation. We are writing a formal complaint about this service and would like a complete refund of our on board purchase of two nylon suitcases. Ship Quality

Fun for All. All for Fun! by
Angie N from Minneapolis, MN Sailing date: Mar 2013Pros: food was excellent. variety of activities Cons: weather was cool and the wind was strong...but we can't control that The Elation was always very clean and well layed out. It wasn't the hugest ship on the market but that's one of the things that appealed to us. Ship QualityShip was always very clean. Areas are well marked and easy to get to. Dining/FoodDining room was very accomodating when we inquired about changing dining rooms so we could dine with friends. Stateroom QualityWe didn't spend a lot of time in our rooms. We were there to have fun not sit and look at the walls. Ship Staff QualityNo matter who you asked for help, the ship's staff was always pleasant, willing to help and got you an immediate answer. Entertainment & ActivitiesWe did everything we could from dance lessons, workouts in the fabulous gym, towel folding class, comedian shows and my favorite activity was running the soft serve ice cream/yogurt machines!!! 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

Fantastic Cruise Vacation! by
Lisa S. from Granite City, IL 62040 Sailing date: Mar 2013Pros: Excellent service and staff! Cons: Nothing! Unlike all the problems other Carnival Ships are having right now this ship had no problems that I know of. The ship itself was in excellent condition, very clean, well taken care of while we were aboard. The staff in the dining rooms and room porters were all very nice and would do anything you ask. The food was very good, especially in the dining rooms. Entertainment was amazing. So much to choose from with plenty of time to relax too! Only one complaint..my college aged sons had a cabin together, 3 of them, and I was told the 3rd bed was a trundle bed....needless to say their trundle bed is not big enough for a full grown man...they had to bring in a rollaway, so beware of trundles...they are fine for small children but not for adults. Ship Quality
Dining/Food
Stateroom QualityGood but beware of accepting a cabin with a trundle bed in them. Trundle beds are only good for small children or small adults. Not meant for full grown people. Ship Staff QualityOur dining room waiter (one of them) was Leandro--he was fantastic. Our room porter was Felix...also fantastic! Entertainment & Activities

Cruise or Not to Cruise? by
A Traveler from United States Sailing date: Jan 2013Pros: Ability to try new things Cons: Lack of time, being offered a drink every 15 minutes (even in formal dining area) Clean and spacious cabin
Clean Ship
Entertaining and friendly staff Ship QualityI expected ship to be bigger but layout made all areas easily accessible. Decor was a little dated but it was very clean. Dining/FoodBuffet area food was comparable to Ponderosa; frozen taste to pizza and desert stale. Formal dining was better with different options and give you a chance to try new things Stateroom QualityCabins very clean, spacious, and comfortable Ship Staff QualityStaff very helpful, friendly, and entertaining. Helped us find our 14 year old daughter who forgot she still had rules to abide by. Thank you. Entertainment & ActivitiesLots of things to do on board just wish entertainment on Lido deck would of continued later. Weather was perfect for raggae music, dancing, and a drink in hand. Children's ProgramsSet ground rules for teenagers, my daughter was bored in the camp and decided to do her own thing. The first night she forgot she still had rules and went off with her friends. Took us and the crew 2-3 hours to find her. Kids 12-14 can leave camp when they feel like it. I don't like that. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Awesome Cruise! by
Darin T. & Racquel C. from Slidell, LA Sailing date: Sep 2012Pros: The waitstaff gave EXCELLENT service. Cons: The certificate for a discount on a shore excursion had to be booked through ORBITZ, which I did not know. Therefore, I didn't get to use it My boyfriend & I had a wonderful time. The cost of the cruise was unbeatable. The entire staff on the ship was friendly & remembered our names throughout the cruise, which was quite impressive considering the amoutn of guests on board. The merchandise we purchased on board was not expensive, and in some cases (alcohol), was even cheaper than in Mexico. We are already planning our next cruise with more ports of call for next year. We are also recommending ORBITZ to all of our families and friends for future trips. Thanks ORBITZ!!! Ship QualityThe ship was modern, beautiful & offered many amenities. Dining/FoodI was somewhat disappointed with the food quality & quantity. Food was mediocre & choices were limited, compared to the last cruise I went on. Stateroom QualityI was surprised at how spacious the stateroom was! The pictures didn't do it justice. Ship Staff QualityStaff members took the time to learn passengers' names & addressed us as such throughout the entirety of the cruise. Entertainment & ActivitiesThere was a variety of shows & interactive activities, which we participated in daily. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.
