Creator's Key Takeaways

I wasn't a fan of the MDR experience and the food um some dishes were good but um on this particular sailing I only went to the MDR one time because when I went one time I was not very impressed

this ship felt very crowded um we were at or over capacity on both of my sailings but I don't know what it was about this time it just felt crowded everywhere

I really enjoyed the improvements that they made to the Wi-Fi Carnival Elation was in Dry Dock between my two sailings so it was very noticeably improved

this was a really great sailing for me I enjoyed both of my sailings on Carnival Elation there are some things that I think can be improved but overall I am impressed

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be prepared for crowding on shorter sailings as the ship can feel jam-packed
Consider longer sailings to better experience the ship's ins and outs
If you prefer a small ship vibe with personal interactions, this ship may suit you

I went on #CarnivalElation for the first time to pay tribute to my late grandfather.
