Why I'll NEVER cruise on Carnival's old cruise ships again

Editorial Summary

The creator narrates a firsthand account of a traveler's experience on the Carnival Elation, an older ship in the Carnival fleet. While the ship appeared well-maintained, the traveler highlights several significant drawbacks compared to newer vessels like the Carnival Celebration. Key issues included outdated bathroom facilities with limited storage and a malfunctioning shower. The dining experience was also criticized due to a limited selection of specialty restaurants and long wait times in the main dining room. Onboard amenities were described as lacking, with the traveler noting that activities mostly appealed to children. Additionally, the Lido deck suffered from constant crowding and a lack of available lounge chairs. The report also covers logistical difficulties, such as a long boarding process at the small Jacksonville port and a chaotic tendering process at Half Moon Cay. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while smaller ships may suit certain preferences, the lack of modern amenities and the inconveniences experienced on this older vessel make them unlikely to book another cruise on Carnival's older ships.
