Elation Let me get this straight.

[jilllofalltrades]

Just to verify what I've seen here and there. I've read that the Elation does not have..

Mini Fridges except in suites

Hair dryers

Turn down service

Is this correct information? Just so I'll know how to pack.

[Tapi]

There is turndown service

[MrPete]

Only your first bullet is correct.

[firefly333]

It also doesnt have balconys or the new waterworks upgrade.

 

but turndown .. YES

It has balconies but they are called Suites.

No fridges, unless you are in a suite.

 

No blowdryers.

 

YES, you have turndown service. (Where are people coming up with this one???)

 

DH and I were on in Nov/Dec and loved the ship but felt the cabins were in need up upgrades.

Ok. This is news to me. So when you say there is no mini fridge, are you meaning there is no mini bar? I just want to make sure before I tell my friends that I lied to them about the bar.

yes, Fantasy class ships have no cooler, mini fridge or whatever name you want to call it. (Im assuming they arent booked in suites before someone corrects me)

 

Tell them they will have a ice bucket, which keeps things cooler than the mini fridge anyway.

There is no small refrigerator in the standard cabins. There are sodas ( at room temp) and bottled water that you can purchase in each cabin...but no alcohol in each cabin.

I think what I'll do is purchase the Carnival soft sided cooler with 4 drinks for $21 and use it to keep my Cokes cold. I'll pack a travel sized hair dryer and a power strip. I did'nt book a balcony since the ones they have looked so small.

Elation doesnt even have a balcony category .. you have to pay a suite price and then get what on a newer ship is more like a regular cat 8 balcony without much privacy. sounds like a good decision to me. Im in a OV on elation coming up.

We were on the Elation for Thanksgiving and it has become my favorite ship thus far.

 

She is a great ship even without a mini fridge or hairdryer.

 

Turn down as others stated, you will have.

 

We have booked the same cabin for October.

 

I usually do not cruise durning Hurricane season but like the Elation so much that I wanted to do a 7 day. October was the only time we could go.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

It has turn down service....all Carnival ships do!

[Disconnections]

It also has propulsion problems like the Carnival Destiny...

[cruzelovr]

Its an Azipod thing. Both ships (Destiny and Elation) built around the same time with the same technology....

But they are different categories of ships, so I wouldnt think related in design that much. I think dates of service coincidence.

Hairdryers are available. Just ask the room steward.
