My New Elation Photo Album

I just wanted to update my Elation cruise photo album linkage. These are from our cruise of March 25th - 30th. I have added some new photos and hopefully improved the previously posted ones.

Here they are:

The crew were always busy cleaning or painting

One of the ornate wall panels on the Elation

On Sea days the decks were very busy

Clandestine shot taken from the Funnel Deck

Step-sisters Tootsie and Lita

Check out the blue sign. "Navigational Shapes Inside" What??

What sort of creature is this?

It's ham, actually

The missus bought me a new mug

The old bathrobe belt trick

On the Lido Deck aft

The Lovely and Charming Mrs. MLDS

From the Bridge Deck to our room

She's glad the camera broke!

One of my desserts

Cabin V4

Our first room service breakfast

Look what Camp Carnival did to my grandson!!

Work out room just above us. Not a problem.

It's a SHIP- Not a boat!

From here on, just us! Formal Night

Still...

You RAWK!:cool:

You got some pictures of views that I've never seen before.

Also, LOVE the "old bathrobe belt trick", I think you've officially come up with an option for Cruise Critic packing as far as...

"If you forget your bungee cord, just use MeLuvDaSea's old bathrobe belt trick"! I'm going to quote that here from on now:D ! Ingenious.

I also love the picture and mention of the workout room (Spa Deck) above and that you didn't have any noise problems.

Because, this is a question that comes up multiple times on these boards for these Fantasy Class Verandah deck rooms.

I've never had a noise problem, but it's good to get an official agreement on that one.

So, thanks again.

Thanks. I hope you have seen my post on the Fastasy class suites thread. I wrote a bit over there as well.

Wow! Those pictures are fanstastic! Thanks, Don, for posting them. I know it must have been a lot of work but we appreciate them. :D Thanks again, and keep them coming!!!!

Well, hey.... no problem. Actually I was up until late last night, until after 10pm, scanning, cropping, posting, and commenting. I am glad someone, besides me and Curt took the time to comment. ;)

Sincerely,

Don (Who will now duck and run for cover.)

I loved your pictures. My favorite was the one of the deck. When you opened it up, it was sideways. Now that's not a position a ship wants to be in.

Again, great Job!!!

Good job, Don. Elation is a photogenic ship. Here's a few I took:

And, some of Uxmal when we visited there from Elation.

I enjoyed the Uxmal pictures. I wish we had taken that tour. My wife is nervous about spending much time in Mexico. She's kinda reactionary and is certain we will be kidnapped. I, on the otherhand, grew up in Texas and am very comfortable down there.

Maybe she will be more relaxed by the time we take our QM2 Carribbean cruise. I'm sure that's not how you spell that.... anyway. I will check out the Elation pics at home. Thanks for the link.

Your pics are great!

I want to say that I absolutely love your avatar! It goes great w/your user name, that is just the cutest little doggie! (aside from mine lol)

Thanks Kate. This is the whole picture. It is from the anniversary card my wife got me this year. It says sumthin about 'communication' -I forgot exactly what. As for the pictures of the cruise, I made a lot of very good videos, with tons of footage of the ship.

I have boiled them all down to one CD worth so if anyone wants a copy I will send for free!! I am not trying to make anything off it; just want to share my experiences.

To 4yanx: Should you happen to read this, I loved your Elation photos. I will shut up about mine now. Yours are so good, had I seen them earlier I would have skipped the cruise entirely for feeling as if I had already been. Also, you review was fair and balanced. I laughed out loud at your description of Big Sexy as a talentless gomer. Exactly! Also, I believe he is the one they would send after you, should you default on your sail and sign balance.

I am sad that Carnival treated you so shabbily. I have never had a problem like that, where they were that consistently rude and indifferent. I hope it changes for the better, rather than becoming the rule.

Sincerely,

Don
