Creator's Key Takeaways

This was my first time sailing as an adult on this class of ship.

I've sailed on a lot of Carnival ships lately and it has been fun to see a completely new to me layout.

I thought the portion sizes were pretty small for $25.

Overall I did have a good time on board the Carnival Elation.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Download the Carnival app to pre-book beverage packages and excursions.
โœ“Print out your boarding pass before arriving at the port.
โœ“Pack a book for a more relaxed ship experience.
โœ“Consider a cabin on deck five or six for quick access to public areas.

Embarkation process โ€” Online check-in opens 14 days before your cruise, which makes embarkation day smoother.
Dining expectations โ€” Don't expect anything super fancy; there are no specialty restaurants, but there are good free dining options.
Ship activities โ€” Pack a book; the ship is more relaxed with fewer scheduled activities.
