I went in mid-August last year to Mexico on the Elation. All I can say is that I had the time of my life! The ship was amazing! Always so much to do, the question was always, "Will we get to do it all?" I went with a few of my friends and my...

Pros: Everything
Cons: A bit cold inside

This summer my family and I took a cruise to Mexico on the Carnival Elation, and lemme tell you, they certainly picked the right name for that ship.

First of all, the staff on the Elation was amazing. They all were very friendly and they made...

Pros: great food, very good time
Cons: none

My wife and I celebrated our tenth anniversary on the Elation. It was in September of 99. This was our first cruise but hopefully not our last. We were in a room with a window, which was nice for seeing the ports upon arrival. Although it was nice...

Pros: You get to see some of the most beautiful places in Mexico!
Cons: Food...but hey I'm not here to just eat.

Wow!! That's where I want to start this review. My wife and I went on Elation cruise from LA in Feb. We found a last minute deal (2wks before sail date) on the internet for $500/person and they automatically upgrades us to ocean view because they couldn ...

Pros: Great Fun!
Cons: Small Rooms.

This was the best seven days of my life. No better way to spend them on a Carnival " Fun Ship ." We bought an air/cruise direct from Carnival. I must say the price was very good. They handled our air great, and our hotel reservations. I...

Pros: Incredible service, great food, a true "fun ship"
Cons: I had to come home

We just returned from the 12/3/00 Carnival Elation cruise and had a fantastic time! My husband and I traveled with another couple – it was our first cruise and their second.

The first thing I should say is that I’m REALLY glad we arrived in...

Pros: fun, food, friendly, people
Cons: it's still Mexico when you get there

This past summer my husband and I celebrated our twentieth anniversary by taking our very first cruise on Carnival's Elation. I truly had to coerce my husband into going on this trip as he was sure he would hate cruising. He worried that the room would...

Pros: Great food.
Cons: Not enough time in Cabo San Lucas

We took this cruise for our honeymoon. We left NJ and arrived in CA without a hitch. We were promptly picked up by a bus and drove to the port.

Once we got to the port it seemed that each employee had their own rules of where the...

Pros: Food, Drinks, parties
Cons: not long enough

Well you have got to understand that when you are graduating from high school everyone wants to go on a cruise. Right? Well a big group of my friends and I went and had a blast. It was the best! We left from LA area in the late afternoon to start the...

Pros: Excellent value with great food, entertainment, service
Cons: The spa's cost/services, need more time in Cabo

We had a blast! We took this cruise as a late honeymoon in April 2000 and can't wait to do it again someday. I was shocked to read negative reviews when we had almost only positive things to say about it. Here are the things we loved:

The...

Pros: Service and price
Cons: Not enough time at each port

My sailing date was Jan 30, 2000. It was a 7 day cruise and I would recommend to anyone. There is a lot to do on the trip. You can eat all you want and you are treated first class anywhere you go. The rooms are very clean and are attended to almost 24...

Pros: multiple activities
Cons: wether can get cold

The Elation was a fabulous ship with many things to do. I went on a seven day cruise to Mexico, where we docked at Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. I have been on many cruises before, but this one was the best by far. I went with one...

Pros: Great food, great service, friendly crew, and good entertainment.
Cons: At times, I have found certain areas of this ship very crowded.

My ex-husband and I went on this ship, (at that time, it was under a different name, but it was a Carnival Cruise) and this was eight years ago. We went on the seven-day cruise from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta and had a great time. I have alot of...

Pros: Service, cabins, food
Cons: Debarkation

We flew to LAX from Minneapolis on Saturday, arriving by 9:00 a.m. We rented a car and spent the day driving up the coast. We stayed overnight at the San Pedro Hilton, an excellent hotel and location not far from the cruise departure dock...
