marshhawk Posted January 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) I go in a week-I've cruised two of her sister ships, the Sensation, and the Fascination, and the Legend twice, but I broke out of my Florida ports mold and I am heading to Mexico on the Elation. What have you found to be SO GREAT about the Elation? Edited January 11, 2014 by marshhawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol1560 Posted January 11, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I have been on Elation - 3 times I like the way you can get around the ship, easy to manuever. The food was pretty good. Staff was amazing. Ports - Cozumel - What can you say?? Good port Progresso - mixed comments from many, it is what you make it Elation is a beautiful ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted January 11, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Thank you. The pictures look beautiful, and I have an excursion to Uxmal in Progreso. and will get a day pass at El Cid. I have read that the staff is incredible on the Elation, but the food not so great. I dont know what people are ordering or eating to give that comment. Oh well, I guess i will find out in a week. There are very few reviews of the Elation, so it's been hard to discover anything, kinda like a secret ship.

mzloolue Posted January 11, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) I have sailed Elation 5 times. Elation is the prettiest of the Fantasy class that I have been on. Elation does a really good past guest party. And the food in the buffet is actually good, especially if you get there as they are putting out dinner. The serenity area is okay. I try to slip out there and get a good chair fairly early. Sitting on the serenity deck of Elation with a Long Island tea watching cars cross the bridge before sailaway is a totally relaxing and I know then that I am actually on vacation! If you have any specific question I will try to answer it. Edited January 11, 2014 by mzloolue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskygirl96 Posted January 11, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2014 We were on the Elation last October. It's a beautiful ship, easy to maneuver around without getting lost. The staff on board is very attentive to your wants and needs and the food was amazing. We loved hanging out in the piano bar as well as the bar right outside of the casino... they made us some awesome drinks there. We just booked the Elation again for next October. Have fun on your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisbtr Posted January 11, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My family was just on the Elation for the first time in November. We had the best time! It never seemed like the ship was crowded, and the staff was the best. We had a cabin right next to the aft stairs and elevators on the upper deck. Quiet, but convenient to everything. Can't wait to sail again , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted January 12, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thank you all, for your information. I am sure I will have a wonderful time. I think that in reality that perhaps the Elation is over looked by some , and truly appreicated by those who have sailed on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlqueen Posted January 12, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm boarding her soon, too! Looking forward to it - I love New Orleans, and I love cruising - have cruised from there before on NCL ... looking forward to Elation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layla and Beaux Posted January 12, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2014 We too are looking forward to our cruise on Elation. We leave in July. I am excited for some more responses on this topic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexCrsr Posted January 12, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 12, 2014 We sailed her last week. The atrium area is beautiful (she was all decked out for the holidays when we were on her). It was definitely easy to figure out how to get around, very well laid out. The food was wonderful at breakfast and lunch in the dining room, however dinners were nice, but the food itself at dinnertime was just so-so. The lady comedian was hysterical, my side hurt after her show. I have nothing but praise for the staff, they all went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our vacation. Booked on her again for later this year! Enjoy your vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
