Creator's Key Takeaways

I just got back from a 5-day cruise on the Carnival Elation departing Jackson to the Bahamas.

Even though you can see the wear and tear in the Carnival Elation, this small ship is still one of my favorites.

Our cabin experience was pretty good. The bed was comfortable, the room was very clean, and the room got dark, and the AC worked great.

I personally really love the entertainment on the Carnival Elation.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you love small ships, the Carnival Elation is a great choice.
They would spend time making the food a little more consistent.
In the next dry dock they would spend time fixing the seats and the holes in the floor as well as adding outlets to the bedrooms.
