BubMunkeyBles Posted June 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Looking at a short Bahamas cruise for next year. Our kids will be 6 and 7 at the time. I know Elation is not updated and Sensation has been. Miami is not quite as convenient drive wise but willing or make it. We're debating between these: Elation 5 night Oct 31 (halloween) out of Jacksonville stopping at Nassau and HMC Sensation 4 night November 3 out of Miami stopping at Nassau and HMC Price is within 50 bucks or so. Which would you choose? Sent from my SGH-I337M using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfCruise Posted June 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Never sailed Elation, but have sailed Sensation. Sensation did recently go through dry dock, but did not receive many 2.0 upgrades. If it were me, I'd go for the 5 day. The more days spent cruising the better, in my book. That being said, if you want more information about the Sensation (including what was added during dry dock), click on the review I wrote in my signature. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about that ship (or kids activities, since I had my son with me on that cruise). Either way, enjoy! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCriuseDirector Posted June 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I would say to go with the Elation 5-night because you'll have the "worst" of Carnival and it can only get "better" from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin_Sea Posted June 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 15, 2015 We never sailed a fantasy class ship but they are likely similar in design. I would go with the 5 nt Elation cruise since its easier to get to and only $50 more for the extra day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubMunkeyBles Posted June 15, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks. I think we'll go for the 5 day. I've cruise Carnival quite a bit (Platinum) buy tend to do week long cruises usually. Just haven't sailed smaller ships as much. I did go on the Sensation before it was updated. I looked at the Valor but I really want to go to HMC.
