djacobson Posted January 5, 2013 #202 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Did you enter the ship on the Empress deck where the atrium bar is? Yes, you will enter the ship on Empress deck and the Atrium bar will be right in front of you. Edited January 5, 2013 by djacobson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherC430 Posted January 7, 2013 #203 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks! I was just at Target this weekend and they have their new swim line out (yours wasn't there). I'll check online! Between Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day (swimming & boating) I like to have patriotic suits for such festivities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
student again Posted January 11, 2013 #204 Share Posted January 11, 2013 This was an awesome review. Do you remember how much your trip to the ruins was and if there are vendors at the ports with tours we can take? I used to plan all my tours thru the cruise line until our trip to the carribean where the port vendors were way cheaper and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athenasbyshanna Posted January 13, 2013 Author #206 Share Posted January 13, 2013 This was an awesome review. Do you remember how much your trip to the ruins was and if there are vendors at the ports with tours we can take? I used to plan all my tours thru the cruise line until our trip to the carribean where the port vendors were way cheaper and better. I think it was $35 each. But it was a smaller ruin lumped in with an all inclusive. There are other ruin tours that you get to see more. AutoProgreso runs the free shuttles down the pier so you can get it from the guide right there on the bus or when you get into town. They are everywhere as soon as you get off the bus.

amberdc87 Posted January 26, 2013 #208 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Awesome review! We are sailing elation in November!! Can't wait. Thanks for the insertion review. It is so hard to find stuff on the Elation. On another note... We live about 1 hr and 30 mins from you. We live just on the other side of the Alabama state line...near Gulf Shores.

airdale Posted February 2, 2013 #212 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I really enjoyed all the photos, thanks for posting. We sail on Elation again this April and your review sure is making me anxious for that cruise. Oh by-the-way we share the same birthday date, happy belated birthday.

bluefins Posted February 2, 2013 #213 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks for the great review. We sail on her January 2014. We sailed once out of NOLA about 5 years ago (different ship, can't remember the name). But the water on the ship was horrible tasting! We (4 adults) couldn't drink it. We thought it was because of going down the Mississippi River and they were using that water to run through their purifiers. Did your ship water taste ok?

christyran1228 Posted May 30, 2014 #223 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Funny....we went on the Elation this past August and I never saw this review. We stayed at the same hotel beforehand and I swear, we have the exact same pictures. Lol And yeah...getting to your room was quite an adventure, but DH had a ball scaring the crap out of my kids on that super-narrow winding entrance/exit from the parking garage.

tdnosnhoj11 Posted October 15, 2014 #224 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I also HATE the winding parking garage at the hotel! My husband thinks it's fun. And the awkward set up of the hotel, ugh. We had a work training there a couple of years ago and, although the hotel itself is nice and I do like that it's connected to the mall, I won't be back! If I'm not staying right in the French Quarter, my new favorite hotel is the Drury Inn. Otherwise- Hotel Saint Marie. Anyway- great review! There are so few Elation picture reviews on CC, and I really needed something to get me out of the "I'm sitting at work and all I want to do is get on that cruise ship" funk. 11 days!! PS: We're neighbors :D I don't like to say EXACTLY where I live... but... I live close enough that people at work commute here from Niceville ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
