This old ship is actually my favorite ship! We are sailing her again in December when she's all decked out for Christmas. The new super mega ships are far too crowded for my taste, and this old girl just brings back so many great Fantasy class memories!
Thank you! We embark this Saturday (8/10/24) for our anniversary AND my birthday. My husband’s never been & it’s been so long for me that the Elation looks HUGE - so I don’t care so much that it’s classified as ‘small’. Looking forward! And thanks again! 😊
This class even though it is older seems to be kept up nicely and is one of our favorite ships. The mega liners like Icon are just so so big and crowded and so expensive. My group spend the cruise on the Icon lost and waiting in lines, not a very fun getaway. Just 1 thing left to do, book a cruise on Elation.
I was on the Elation back in January and will be back on there in October for my birthday. Elation is one of my favorite ships. 5-day cruises are more my jam. I love smaller ships, and 5 days on a ship is enough for me, usually, thought there are exceptions. Im going on an 8-day ABC (Southern Caribbean) cruise next May on the Magic. I'm a solo cruiser and enjoy cruising by myself. I always make friends on the ship, but i enjoy a private cabin as well. Cant wait to get back on the Elation in October!
Thanks for the great tour, my family has cruised on the sister ship, the Paradise, three times and after watching your video we decided to make the drive to Jacksonville to try the Elation. We just got off the Icon of the Seas and enjoyed the relaxing experience on these smaller Fantasy class ships more than the over crowded and super long lines on the Icon. Try getting a beach chair on the Icon, good luck.
Completely agree, my group of 5 needs a vacation after our vacation on Icon. We spent the entire time lost and waiting in so very long lines. Beautiful ship Icon but these smaller ships are more our speed. And the cost is so so much less, much better value on the Elation.
The only reason I haven't booked us on this ship is because it doesn't have the Dive in Theater, which is a family favorite. Everything else about her looks amazing.
@@Zombiebrains24 yes! They should definitely expand the hours for Guy’s Burgers, that place is awesome 😎 I really enjoy the deli sandwiches too, Buffalo Chicken sandwich is my fav!
Nicely done! The Elation is local to us(now), she was the first ship we sailed on kicking off our cruising adventures! We sail on her next in September! Can't wait!! Glad y'all had a good time on the Elation!

@@d28picker yes! The older and smaller ships are much easier to navigate and you get to know people much easier… lots of fun!
Thank you!

Just one good small wave at the Princess Cay part, and we'd gotten an eye full...lol
I booked my 2nd cruise on it nice ship
Thanks for the tour, I will be sailing in September on this ship
Nice, we hope you enjoy!
Me too. Sept 30 to Oct 5
Me too, Sept 7 - 12

Yes she is not too bad, we enjoyed it.
Nice tour but I was hoping for some footage inside the casino. Glad you enjoyed it.
Casinos don’t allow filming inside so we just got a small snippet to show
Very informative!
Thanks!
Going on my third cruise with elation again in November wish Guy's burgers was open later like the all you can eat pizza

Thanks! Have a great time on your cruise!
below 7 aren’t all crew. I believe only 1-2 are crew.. the rest are regular cabins
Looks like a beautiful ship!
It is and we had a great time!
lol a joke
You look like you had a blast!! 💥 I’m going on my first cruise in two weeks and it’s on this ship!!! 🛳️
Definitely should have included the audio for your Karaoke time....
@@devsn 😂😂 I wish we could… copyright infringement
only one pool and tub? I really enjoy soaking. how dose a whole ship share one hot tub?
There was one main pool and 2 hot tubs on Lido, a water park in the rear, and additional hot tubs in the Serenity Area.
You missed the Serenity Adult Only area on the aft of the ship!
Oops… yes we did 😅
@@WanderOpenRoads Still a great video!
I was there to serve drink 😂
Does the gym cost extra
Nope, it’s free. You’d have to pay extra for any spa services like massages, etc
