Just off the Elation!!

We just disembarked from the Elation this morning and I have to say we were much more impressed with the upgrades than we thought we would be! After sailing the Magic last September I was expecting to be disappointed going back to a fantasy class, but I was so wrong! A couple things were missing due to the lack of space, but we really enjoyed the smaller ship. I don't want to write a full review now but I am happy to answer any questions people may have! Btw our ports were Half Moon and Nassau and we booked Atlantis directly through the resort so if anyone has questions on that experience feel free to ask!

Does the Elation have Guy's and Blue Iguana? My home port of Long Beach has the Inspiration and Imagination. I love the addition of Guy's and the BI and am very glad to have these two ships here in town.

Does the ship have a Punchliners Comedy Club? If so, did you go to it? Was it good?

I'm so glad you had a great time! Tell me about Atlantis. Any tips?

Atlantis was amazing! We booked directly through Atlantis in advance which saved a couple hundred dollars, worked out for us but can be risky. Don't bring your ship towels as you can use theirs. Make sure you bring cash or a credit card for lunch. The 5 of us ate for $70 including sodas which was a lot more reasonable than we expected. I'm not sure what else to say, get there as early as possible and ride every slide! Admission includes the aquarium which is neat.

That was all helpful! Thank you!

Welcome home and glad you enjoyed the upgrades.

Glad you enjoyed the cruise. I really want to try a Fantasy class ship someday.

You boarded the ship after we disembarked our St Patrick Day Cruise. We too were impressed with the upgrades. I like the Fantasy Class ships. In fact the only 2 ships we have not been on is the Fantasy and Imagination.

The Elation looked very good. We had a balcony cabin and the interior looked brand new. My guess is that it was since they had to add the balcony. Guys and Blue were great additions. Since we were on a Spring Break cruise the lines were longer. I do have to admit that the kids/teenagers were well mannered. We plan not to do another Spring Break cruise, but we got a great deal on the Balcony cabin, so we made it a quick getaway cruise.

How was the water works area? I hope that area was upgraded because we are taking our two 13 year old grand children in June and they'll spend alot of time there. Thank you!

Glad that you enjoyed your cruise, we did the Elation in December after the upgrades-a little too cool for us to do the water slides, but we are booked again for May on one of her 7 day adventures, and are really looking forward to being back on her again.

the fantasy class is still the "class" for us, smaller ship, gives Dh the ability to get around.

we did elation just before the refit and then just after in dec last year

we miss the Mongolian wok big time but I suppose the variety of the taco bar kind of makes up for it

the burger joint is almost a zero sum game except the burgers are indeed MORE TASTY!

so elation will firmly replace the fascianation now in jax while for the short time last year is was kind of a drawback but now up to speed and with the balcony cabins added they're virtually the same

tell you one thing we noticed on both elation cruises - much as with fascination the crew seemed really happy to be there!

:cool:

We are cruising on Elation in Oct. We can't wait

We were in the vista suite on Deck 14 last week and I would not book that again. The elevators and the people always walking above the room were a problem. Only two elevators went to deck 14 and when you hit the button, any of the four would open, but only two would take you up to 14, the others stopped at 10. We waited on elevators all week.

How was debarkation day, I have read how long it takes, Is it still?

Say.... By chance did you notice if March Madness basketball games were on TBS? Or was it Mexican TBS and no college Basketball?

Thanks!

(A Bracket fan) haha

Games were definitely on around the ship but you couldn't hear the games with everything else going on. I'm not sure about in the cabin. Everything the kids watched seemed to have Spanish commercials.

Did you have to take an elevator for embarkation or disembarking? (I prefer stairs, do not like elevators.) Was this a rocky ride? Sometimes I’ve heard this ship can really be rocky. Thanks!
