I know the Legend doesn't have them but does anyone know if they keep the pool open late anyway? 

I was on the Legend last week and from I remember the pool closed at different times - I know the night of the mega deck party, the pool was open until 11pm. But there was at least one other night that they had emptied the pool much earlier in the evening. We don't use them which is why I can't remember more specifics. 

Just to add, there's a Holiday Inn Express not more than a mile away at the exit from 295. Nice enough with free breakfast and you have a 2 minute drive to the port. Very convenient. 

As others have mentioned - accessibility in JAX is great! Parking is super close and painless. If parking at the port you can (at least we did in the past) pay online in advance and breeze right on through. Of all the ports I've cruised out of, JAX is my favorite. 

Any updates on Carnival's sailings to Bermuda this summer? We're booked from Baltimore departing on 8/28 and wondering if we'll get an itinerary change.

Elation has the Scenic Oceanview and the Grand Vista Suite. There are some good videos on Ytube. 

Yep, on deck 14. We sailed in Scenic Oceanview G1 and LOVED it! 

The Elation received a pretty dramatic overhaul in 2017. It has an extra deck (Grand) that the rest of the Fantasy class doesn't have. We sailed her last October and it didn't look and feel to us like a 21 year old ship.
