We have been cruising since 2014 and this porter is amazing, Darrell, We will be sailing the Elation in September this year (2024) and I sure hope we get to see you!
I live in Jacksonville and will be sailing on the Elation next month. Its my 4th or 5th time. I can't wait. Your like me. The first thing I do when I get abroad is have a Bahama Mama. I love sailing Carnival.
I was on the Elation on Halloween. I enjoyed my time on the ship and look forward to my next cruise on her. I even found a duck. The staff are awesome too!!
My husband I was on the Carnival Paradise out of Tampa last year and had to leave our Truck at a parking location about a mile from port and be driven by the Lot owners to the ship. This looks like you can park right at port is this how it works in Jacksonville?
Travel spree. 😳 you guys are the best. I can’t believe you watched our video. Thanks 🙏 so much. You’re one of our favorite ❤️ creators and we love y’all’s energy. That drink 🥤 is called the green Iguana 🦎 is Kelly’s fave.
If you book this do you need a passport ?? Just wondering if it matters returning to the same US port ?? Sorry if that doesn't make sense basically wondering if I can cruise with my I'd and birth certificate if I'm leaving the same port I return to ?? Thank you in advance for your response any help is nice im booked for 59 days from now
Loved your video! We are booked for Spring Break Next month. I was wondering if you could help me w a few questions. It's myself & 3 children in an Ocean View State Room. It says it has 2 TWIN beds and No couch. How do i request a Wall/BunkBed before Boarding? Also, are the doors/wall outside our room metal for decoration purposes? Wondering what Ideas i can throw together to allow my kids to decorate
If you book more than 2 it will automatically have Pullman bunks. I’m not sure on this ship but most ships that are an ocean view have a couch that pulls out to a bed. If not there will be 2 pull down beds and they will bring in an extra bed. But don’t worry. They will make sure everyone is comfortable.
Ok. Thank you so much for the reply. My wife and daughter and I are going on this cruise and we are driving for the first time to a cruise port and it looks pretty easy to park and get on the ship. Was nervous on trying to do it ourselves. Thank you for the video!!!
It is one of the easiest ports to get to actually. The only bad part is that the terminal is very small so a lot of times you have to wait in a line of people trying to enter the terminal. When are you going on this cruise 🚢 if you don’t mind me asking?
Great video! We leave on the Elation in a couple of days! Thanks for sharing what to expect!
She’s a great ship. Also that was our first video. Check out some of our others and let us know what you think.
I’m all of the 5 cruises I’ve been on HE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST PORTER I’VE SEEN !!!
He is awesome 😎

You will love ❤️ her. She’s a great ship 🛳

We will be on her again on Feb16. You should join us. The more the merrier. 🤙
Hey!! You guys included my wife and I singing in the Atrium at the end!! 20:17
Thanks for coming on the Elation! We hope you had a great time!
Awesome. Yes we did. We will be back on the ship 🚢 Feb 16. I’ll introduce myself to you
You guys rock
Going in may. Is it necessary to prepay for car parking ?
@@kimbailey8803 not at all. You pay when you get there. It is one of the easiest parking ports in the country. !!!

Great ship and crew, was on it for New Years. If Neil is your cruise director, get ready to her "Byyyeeee" A LOT!
Lol. I love Neil
Those first drinks look so good!!

Yes you can book without a passport. All you need is an I.D. And Birth certificate
Great ship..great crew. Perfect sized ship.
I've been on the Elation many times and it's crazy I know three of the bartenders in the video. One I'm good friends with.
The entire bar staff are awesome 🤩
We will be on the March 2 to 6 sailing in 2023!!
Me too !
Where I can park my car?

Also. The doors are not magnetic. Only the jams. We learned this on our last cruise 🚢
@@jeffandkellytravel thank you so much for the info!!! We're super excited 😄
Will be on her March 2023.
We too
great content. defiantly just got a subscriber
Awww ☺️ thank you. We are definitely new to the Vlog thing but I hope to keep making enjoyable videos. You’re the best 🤙
Thanks for sharing this video! What are the fun activities on this ship? # Thanks in advance #AbouttoEmbarkOnMyFirstCruise
Our pleasure!
Fellow TH-camr here.... I have a decision to make.. Carnival Elation or Carnival Paradise. Which would you choose?
No, the Elation isn't bad. I have been on the Elation twice and both were great. I just wanted to let you know that there's no complaint here.
I agree. It’s an older ship. But sometimes I prefer the intimacy of a smaller well maintained ship 🛳️
I was on this cruise the exact time.
Oh wow. How cool. We are currently on the Paradise right now. 🛳
Was it not cold outside before y’all left?
It wasn’t too bad
Ooh I’m trying that frosted lemonade.. only 8 more months 😭
My kids love it 🥰
Did this cruise leave from the Jacksonville port?
Yes it did

@@jeffandkellytravel it’s not set in stone us going but just a thought
July 2023
It’ll be here before you know it
October 2023

I didn’t see where your carryons were searched or where they took your picture???
They frown upon taking video inside the terminal. 😞
Enjoyed your video except for the drink counting…why so proud of consuming so much alcohol????
Please STOP saying your name If we are watching YOUR video WE KNOW your Kelly!
