Service

Service is widely praised for being professional, friendly, and attentive, with many guests feeling pampered and welcomed. A few guests, however, noted that service was not as good as on other Carnival ships.

"The Elation Cruise staff is the best staff to vacation with. The staff is considerate, helpful and the nicest people to vacation with. They leave you with and secure and welcome feeling."
"From embarkation to debarkation Carnival is a smooth operation. We where pampered like a king and queen the only time. The food was good, the service and shows were awesome and the five day cruise was the most relaxing five days my wife and I can remember."
"They did a awesome job"

Bedding, food choices needs to be upgraded, but probably won’t happen due to the type of clientele.

Really enjoyed our trip. Only negative was the pool on the Elation was extremely small, but later in the day you could get in it without the masses. Otherwise food, service, entertainment, e.t.c was great.
