#carnivalelation
I watched THREE supposed "Full Walkthroughs" for the Elation before yours. NONE had showed the Serenity Adult Area at the back of the ship!!! Thanks for giving a TRUE complete walkthrough.😍
Wow, that seems like an important place to not include! Thanks for your feedback. :)
This is a great ship tour. Steady camera, your narration explains were you are on the ship and what we're looking at. Just a great job.
Thank you for your kind words!!
It makes me happy to see this ship still sailing. Elation is one of only two survivors of Carnival's Fantasy class elimination. I'm glad it finally got the Water Works upgrades. Back in the day, I hated when I'd get bumped from Fantasy to Elation, because it lacked the water park. Hope I can sail either this ship or Paradise at least one more time before they decide to retire them.
Sounds like they made some great improvements!! I like this ship alot too! Thank you for your comment! Have a great day
A lot of elation class ships got a dry dock renovation. Carnival paradise is one of them
My wife and I are going on Elation in December specifically to see her one last time just in case Carnival retires her in the next few years.
@@jamesgaines6676they need to keep some of the smaller ships if they want to continue to cruise out of Jacksonville.
I’m going on this ship as a first cruise, and the 30th of this month is my boarding date! Thank you for sharing the info on this ship 😊
Your countdown is getting smaller!! I hope you have a lovely trip. It will be here before you know it, enjoy!
Heyyy ! I will be at this time as well!!
Is it really EXSPENSIVE
@@mamasram just depends how good you are at finding deals and how easy you can get time off work for last minute types of deals. Also to be considered is how “classy” or basic you’d like to travel. My dad and I just booked one on this ship that started at $184 per person for a 5 day cruise. Of course there are a few port charges and things but those usually aren’t much either.
Did you enjoy?
Interesting fact, Carnival Elation was the first cruise ship built with Azipod thrusters rather than conventional shaft propellers.
Very interesting 👌 thanks for sharing!!
Fun fact her steering wheel is the size of a formula 1 car
Great ship tour, and it's great to see how good the older Carnival ships are looking. I actually docked beside this ship on my first cruise in the Caribbean a few years ago, and never thought to check out a tour until you popped up on my feed.
Also, I'm in the process of putting together 4 ship tours from recent ships I've sailed on, so you've been great inspiration for me - thank you! :)
Thanks 😊 i was surprised how it was pretty nice too, its actually nice to not have such a massive ship to explore and yes the ship tours are worth your effort!!
I be here jan
Thank you so much for this! I'm taking this ship for my first cruise in January 2023 to the Bahamas. I'm pretty nervous and this helps.
I was definitely nervous my first cruise and have even canceled quite a few before that, but it really was awesome I fell in love with cruising. I sure hope you have an amazing cruise!! This is a great ship too!
Just booked our first cruise nov.2023 on this ship..thank you for the tour
Awesome!! I really liked this ship, it didn't have all the restaurants of some of the bigger ships but its great, enjoy your cruise!!
This is the best representation of the carnival elation. Thank you so much. I've been on this ship 2 times this year and you made me realize that there is much more to see and do.
Thanks Tom! 😊 this is a good ship! I really like these little smaller ones
Thanks for the tour. I like that you showed the stateroom at the end. I'm gioing in January. It will be my first cruise.
Thanks for taking the time to show us around. I went on this ship WaAAay back in about 2004. It looks very much the same and different all together.
Hey thanks Anything Roam! 😊 I enjoyed this ship I though it would feel small or crowded but it was nice, I would sail it again. Thanks for your comment have a great day!
Depressing looking ship
I love the look of those old 1990s cruise ships.
It's a good one for sure!
the dawn of an erra
I wish they'd build newer ships more like this again. Not necessarily stylistically, but just in the sense that it's about CRUISING. It's about great places you can find to sit, drink, talk, read. Tons of space despite the small size. Ships four times this size have nowhere near this much space for people to make their own.
I love your comment! Yes I totally agree, finding those places to get away from the craziness of life and relax, there's so many good spots, even better when you're cruising with friends too visiting is a big part of the cruise. Bigger ships, more people and less comfy common space
Wow, I worked as a massage therapist on this ship in 2000. It looked a lot different then. Happy days, but hard work!
Wow cool, sounds tough!! Thanks for watching!
I'm doing this cruise by myself at the end of August I can't wait
Hi Chaz!! That will be a great time!! Enjoy every moment!
Good to see I won't be the only solo cruiser. Lol
Great ship tour! Can’t wait to be back on the Elation next weekend!
Thanks!! Have a great trip 😀
I am coming to realize that "bigger is not always better". Having sailed on the 110,000 GT Carnival Glory and equivalently sized VV Scarlet Lady, I have found them to be a little crowded. At first I was interested at some of the mega cruisers that have come out especially from RC, but now I shudder to think about just how many passengers are crammed onto those massive vessels. I think I will try to get on Elation out of Jacksonville or maybe the slightly larger Spirit out of Mobile to see what it's like to cruise on a slightly smaller ship.
I honestly would choose smaller ships, it is a better experience
We leave Monday on this ship. My first cruise. I am so excited
Hi Shawn!! That is very exciting!! Yay! You're probably going to fall in love with cruising, its great! Have a lovely trip, make tons of memories and enjoy every minute! 😄
Going next year (2024) with my uncle, aunt, and my mom. We have inside cabins on deck 7 just aft of the funnel! My uncle and aunt got their own cabin. Mom and I will be sharing the (twin ?) Cabin. I may love my Mom, but not enough to be sharing a bed with her 😂 !
I've been checking on reviews on the CARNIVAL ELATION to see what it has to offer and what other people say about the times on board.
Thank you for doing this tour!
Hey Robert! 😊 thanks for your comment!! Lol I agree I love my mom too and would do the same thing!! Have fun on your cruise! I loved the elation!
Awesome video and tour. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
This is the only cruise I've ever been on, back somewhere between 2003 or 2004. It was the summer before 2nd or 3rd grade, we went to Belize, Cozumel, and 1 other location, which I can't remember, good times. I would love to get the full experience now as an adult.
Cruising is fun and a different experience as an adult for sure!
I weant on this ship in 2014 and the only waterslide they had was this liitle blue slide and i can still remember the wooden table in the pool and me and my cousins walking across it
Oh wow!! Things have changed! Thanks for your comment!
Excellent video, thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for your comment! 😊
Will be sailing this ship January 2026. Love these tours to get a vibe of things to expect. Thanks.
Thanks so much!! Glad it was helpful, I really appreciate your comment!
I’m boarding this weekend ☺️☺️
Yay!! Have a great cruise!
How did you like it?
thanks for your video, going on my first cruise ever on this one soon!
Thanks James! Have a wonderful time on your cruise, you might get hooked on cruising and love it!! I really did like this ship even without all the extra restaurants, comfy chairs in Alchemy if you find yourself over there smile, enjoy! 😊
Well Done! I live in Jacksonville and am considering going on this cruise ship soon.
This ship is surprisingly wonderful to me. It's an old ship and a small ship, compared to the rest of the fleet, but it was so nice inside. We loved it!
Ive been on the Breeze and Magic! Going on this next month cant wait!
Awesome!! Have a great trip!
Hello from Sweden. Thanks for a really nice upload. We have cruised with ships of all classes and sizes. But Fantasy Class, together with Rccl Vision Class, are my favourites. I have worked as a sailor for many years and if you want to get a real feeling of a ship, then these smaller ships are unbeatable / Adam
I love these smaller ships for sure!!
Good video. We did the Mardi Gras last year and that was a behemoth ship. Was fun, but wanted a smaller ship this time with less walking and less flash. Concentrating on the basics and relaxation of a cruise.
That's the best thing to do on a cruise unplug and chill!! I like this ship it is simple but good 👍
Can't wait to board this ship and go down the slide!
Have a great time!!!
@@GulfCoastGirl we're going in November.
@@GulfCoastGirl I think we're neighbors about 50 miles to the east of you.
How did you like it? Are rooms clean? How was the food?
@@dinaraflorida it was clean, a rowdy bunch at night but the favorite spot for me was in the atrium listening to the violin and fiddle. Beautiful music and both are from the Ukraine.
I have a question how is the dance club? And what a great tour you have of the ship I’m sailing out on the 24th
thank you this video was so helpful.
I'm glad! I find ship tours super helpful when I am going on a cruise, too.
Great tour, thanks so much!
Thanks Laurie!! 😊 its a nice ship for being on the smaller side, I would definitely sail it again!
It looks a lot different since I was on it during its first year of operation, but I remember that hot tub very well for some reason.
Thanks for your comment! This ship is pretty nice, I am glad they make updates through the life of the ship, I would definitely sail her again
I have been on this ship many times. ❤
This is what we in the business refer to as "Lucky!!!!" ;)
This is weird, I just got off the Carnival Glory which is a newer ship, but your interior cabin was far more modernized and the bathroom was far more appealing. I wonder if this ship received a really major renovation.
That is interesting!! It was last refurbished in 2017 and it looks like dry dock schedule is early next year for more improvements. It's nice when they keep these ships updated 😉
I will be on this in January cant wait.
Awesome!!! That will be a blast, have a great time!
Went on the
Elation back in 2010 leaving from the port of Mobile, AL, 4 day cruise to Cozumel, MX. Back then it was my first cruise so I was excited to see everything. But now that I’m older, it’s nice to see they’ve done some renovations however, the design is a bit dated. The design definitely screams 80s-90s art deco style. Then there’s the size of the ship. With more and more ppl cruising now that Covid is over, the Elation simply put isn’t big enough to hold many passengers. The Elation honestly didn’t have much to do or specialty restaurants besides the main dining rooms and the 24 hr buffet. Just from watching this video, it still looks as if there’s not much to do so, a ship this size and age might benefit from an older crowd that isn’t into the diverse activities offered aboard the newer ships. Honestly, it might be time to retire this ship.
You are right it isn't the most exciting but maybe more of a relaxing cruise I guess and with the new ships this one is probably not long for retirement
My favorite class of Ship, hate to see them retire.
I know it! I was hesitant to show this ship because of that but it's around for a while. For now I guess! I loved this one
We are going on this ship at the end of November out of Jacksonville. Do you know if it will be decorated for the holidays? I'm also so surprised as we just got off the Magic how much bigger the pools are and just space in general.
I think they transition to Christmas right around there so maybe you will, migh5 be on your cruise you'll wake up and Christmas decor is up. I was very surprised this older ship had that much common space, it was great!! Have a lovely cruise!
@@GulfCoastGirl thanks so much 😊
I am looking to go on a cruise early next year and this is the cruise ship i am looking at. This will be my first cruise ever! A little nervous but very excited. Does anyone have any helpful tips or advice for me?
That is exciting!! I was nervous for my first cruise, in fact booked and canceled several times before going and I loved it!! 😍 fell.in love with cruising, my fears of being on a ship, being in close quarters, etc all slipped away. I would say don't over think it, the movement on the ship has always been fairly mild, get outside for fresh air every day, dont try to do it all in your first cruise, annoy all the little things! Don't over pack especially shoes I ended up using one pair and not all of my shoes or clothes, you can do laundry pretty easy, I take tide pods and dryer sheets and then do a load mid week you charge the room at the laundry room. Most of all make lots of memories you will remember forever!! Have a great time, it will be so amazing!
Just booked a cruise on the ship, ocean view cabin...ty
That's awesome!! Have a lovely time
Are adults allowed in the arcade on deck 9? My husband and I always spend hours in arcades whenever we vacation, so this would be a perfect pastime for us!
Absolutely it is open to everyone!! Have a great time!
I had my first kiss on this ship after the teen rave in 2002.
Wow, that is cool. It's been a long time!
Is the sauna free?
I hated this ship when I was on it. Room AC didn’t work, like the thermostat didn’t have power--they gave me a fan. I purchased a bottle of champagne prior to boarding for my honeymoon, didn’t get it. Even showed that I paid for it. (Which the marriage ended so I mean, it’s fine now). A crew member walked right into our stateroom during “sexy” time. Both rear hot tubs were shut down the entire cruise, guys burger joint was open for one day only. It was just horrible.
That sounds awful I am sorry everything went wrong for you especiallyon your honeymoon, they should have made things right, just feel bad for you. Hopefully you try other ships and have a better experience in the future
Koby K.....we couldn't agree with you more! We've been on 30+ cruises now (Carnival, HAL, Celebrity, NCL, etc.) and this ship, by far, was the worst one we've ever been on. It was like a big, old, musty, dark, "smoke smelling" floating casino type drunk boat. When we went, most passengers didn't appear to be hitting the gym too much (if you catch my drift), and a lot of foul language was in the air. To each their own, of course, but to us, we'll never spend another dime on this boat. Enough said. Sorry about your honeymoon experience, but don't give up on cruising; just be sure to avoid this garbage heap.
We just got off the elation for a 5 day cruise. Our air didn’t get cool, bathroom fan didn’t work- we smelled shit all 5 days when the hole opened up, the grip bar in the bathroom kept coming undone. Our room boy kept opening the door - half the dining staff was Chinese women and not friendly at all. The Indonesian people were wonderful. I had so many issues with this cruise it made me not want to go again. There was even a fight on the promenade deck during a show
@@deborahking4210 oh my, what room do you remember?
how well does the internet work on this ship? Is buying a package worth it?
I found it pretty reliable and would purchase it again
I'll be on this ship come fall. Do you have any videos of other cabins?
Unless things have changed for this ship, cancel.
I don't, that was my first time on this ship thought it was spacious and actually pretty nice, missing some of the restaurants that larger ships have, but overall I liked it
@@kobyk1534 why
I’m not joking I was in that cruise as this was being recorded june 18th-23rd
That's awesome!
My girl scout troop of ten 10th graders are planning on this cruise but someone said there is not much to do on this ship to keep them busy. Is this true ?
@@dortheay7361 Yes ofc, there is arcades, swimming, and water slides and a bunch more
I wish that I could’ve saw the other rooms. I thought thats what I was getting from a “full tour.”
Thabks for your comment, I only had one room to video unfortunately
Oook! I really wanted to see what the suites looked like for my birthday trip😢
Have a great birthday cruise!
❤❤❤
Thanks!! I really like this ship!
Who is going end of April ? 🎉
I wish!! Have a blast!
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
And I'm pretty sure my boyfriend is planning to propose on the cruise, too. 😂
Very exciting!!! Congrats and cheers!
@@GulfCoastGirl Thank you! My first ever cruise as well. Thanks for the helpful videos!
Well that's amazing!! Have a lovely first cruise!
We have a cruise on her March 2023.
Hello SouthernGent! That's great!! It will be here before you know it!! Have a great time and make lots of memories aboard this nice ship!! 😀
How crowded are the bar areas near the pool?...Are the seats always taken?
Hi Timothy! Only on sailaway day was it super busy, other days I was able to find a seat here and there
Excellent...thanks!
Does this cruise have a basketball court?
No basketball unfortunately only mini golf and bocce ball and waterslide
What cabin number did you have? Was it a good location
We had cabin E85. It was pretty much right next to the atrium, and we loved the location for sure.
i just went on this ship i just got home today!
Welcome home! Hope you had a great trip!
I did thank you
Does the ship have wifi? Like will you be able to FaceTime and call/text people while on the ship?
You have to purchase wifi but yes I have gotten it and used Facebook messenger to chat and call to keep in touch with those at home, its pretty reliable imo 😉
Forget WiFi unless you purchase it. Over 100 dollars but I didn’t get it. Had no internet except at ports
I’m going Monday is it easy to make friends on here ages 15-19
Awesome have a great cruise, I am sure you'll be able to meet people. That is one of the best things about cruising
I’m planning a group of ten 10th graders ( girl scout troop ). Is there a lot to do. I heard there is nit .
@@dortheay7361 basically on the cruises the teen centers don’t open usually until 7-8 so we would all Rome the ship go get food eat together get ice cream cause a little ruckus 😂 and go to arcade and the gym and the theater then 7-8 we would go in and play games do karaoke listen to music etc if we got bored we would go eat dinner get ice cream and come back the club stayed open till 1AM
Why is there so little people on that one??
I try to get the video during times where there aren't many people around. Other times of day, the ship looks much more full. :)
Do you get sick since it’s a smaller ship?
Hi Lisa!! I didn't feel sick, I do take bonine with me in case I feel motion but this cruise was fine thankfully!
Why is it so empty? Were you filming on a port day?
I did most of my filming in the morning so yes its a little empty but I try not to film people if I can
Never showed the kids club. One of my biggest concerns.
Hi Laura! Yes, I definitely try to go in all the clubs if I can, sometimes a specific ship has the door locked on Embarkation and they don't allow you in there through the week unfortunately 😕 I have seen many of the kids clubs and they are pretty nice!
No basketball court ?
No they dont, it's strange, right?
were there a lot of kids/teens on this ship when you went on it?
I don't think so, the one time I saw a few was when I went up to the top deck teens were hanging out up there otherwise not really
All over the ship running around and shoving people! Terrible kids!
Who’s going on April 3-8th?
I wish!!
Be a good video if I could hear you
Thanks for checking it out. I appreciate the comment
Boo-fay?
Lol 😆 I realize I said it that way, fixed it next video
The music in this video caused me to stop watching
Ok thanks for the feedback
Don’t go on this ship! The cruise line is not keeping up the ship and it’s terrible
oh sorry to hear that you had a bad experience!
We were on the Elation July 2022, found nothing broken. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole ship!🛳🛳
Glad to hear it!! I enjoyed it as well 😊
boofay
Lol 😆 meet me at the boofay!
