Zydecocruiser's Carnival Elation Photo Review

Still has the older, and I prefer slide - it dumps you into a pool! These kind have a 48" minimum height requirement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What come in those cups? Alcohol I guess? I want one!

Anything you want to pay for. Pretty sure you can just purchase empty, but not sure of the costs.

I'm enjoying this thread! I love seeing the photos of non-renovated older ships.. Great shots!

With Your Time Dining a bread basket was always left at the table

 

 

 

First up - Escargot - yet, it's back again

 

 

 

 

 

The duck appetizer

 

 

 

I always sat in the same area, often the same table and had the same waitstaff

Thanks for posting! I will be sailing on the Elation in a few weeks and it was nice to get a sneak peek of the ship beforehand. I'm looking forward to a great vacation.

I don't care what a few trolls on Funville say, either! :p

 

For most everything, a Nikon D7000.

What is that big box on the end of your bed? Does it stay there the entire cruise?

 

Looks a bit weird if the second occupant in that bed has to crawl over the other occupant to get out of it.:eek:

[midmogranny]

just back also. On the same cruise. We had a great time. The only info I can give is that the tv box is still on the Riviera deck other than that our rooms looked the same.

It's where the life jackets are.

 

In my cabin, yes, it was in the way, but also kept you from walking into the TV. I accidentally booked a cabin for 4 so it might have been configured slightly different. I'll get to more on that at some point.

The new chocolate (wrapper) - it's the same chocolate, me thinks

A little more on the stateroom - not quite sure how I booked a stateroom for 4, so it might have been configured different from some.

 

{Bet the cabin steward was thrilled with me}

 

Thee was a pull down bed and also one under the regular beds. I was wondering why my suitcase didn't fit under the bed. :confused:

The hidden bed revealed

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the space where I think it was really supposed to fit
