I live in Jacksonville. I'm sailing on the Elation for the 4th time in November. I love this ship. It is very clean. The crew is top notch. I do know that they keep smoking on one side of the casino. I'm now platinum. I'm a casino club member. I drink free in the casino while I'm gambling. I can't wait to go again. I'm so happy that you enjoyed the Elation. Happy sailing ❤
We do as well! We wish we could’ve sailed on the Sensation and Inspiration before they were taken too soon. Those were the only 2 out of the Fantasy class we haven’t been on.
The Fascination was our favorite! We sailed on her 3 times including a southern Caribbean out of San Juan that hit 5 islands out of 6 days. Was best cruise we've been on. Sure.miss that ship
We are sailing on The Elation September 7th 2024. I absolutely love the Fantasy class ships and was SO sad to see the Fantasy and Ecstasy sold. They were our first 3 cruises (Fantasy, Ecstasy, Fantasy). This will be the first time for us sailing on the Elation. It sounds like they really take the time to make each guest feel special, that is the best thing about the smaller ships! The Sunshine has been our last 6 cruises but Jacksonville will be our new home port since we are in South Carolina and they will be moving the Sunshine from Charleston to Norfolk the end of the year. From watching yours and others videos it looks like it will be an easy transition, just a couple more hours driving lol! Happy belated Birthday to little Man and thanks for the great video, ship looks shiny new but so very familiar. Happy Cruising!
It sounds like we are in the same predicament, we also live in SC so Sunshine has been our go to ship for quite a few years and Ecstasy before that. Jacksonville is pretty quick drive and super easy embarkation. I hope you have the best cruise, she is beautiful!
Hadnt cruises since 2019. We were on Elation 2018. Booked her for June 2025. Cant waut to see updates!!! SPLURGED for suite for my oldest Graduation trip
Thanks for watching! Smash the thumbs up for me. If you have questions let me know! 😊

We are booked for September 2, so looking forward to it! First small ship we’ve been on, so very much enjoyed this video!
Thanks so much! You will really enjoy this ship, we think she is the perfect size!

You will love her! Same small ship just modernized. Have an amazing cruise!
The Elation is probably my wife's favorite ship. And as of now we are Platinum.
Such a beautiful ship!
Thank you for the great and informative video. My first cruise is on the Elation in June. We also have a little one.
You are very welcome, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! Have an amazing first cruise!
Great review and info.
Thanks so much and glad it was helpful!
👍! We finally made Platinum in January. Now, we are starting to try other lines.
Awesome, congrats! At this point it all comes down to price for us. Although we do always look at Carnival first still.
We love the fantasy class. Been on Fantasy, Sensation, Inspiration, Elation and Paradise. When is your Venizia cruise?
Just got off today! Lots of videos incoming!
Cruised her in 2014, going again this December. Thinking it will be like seeing an old friend.
Yes! Have the best time, she is a wonderful ship!
Cruising for the first time 8-29-24. 🎉
Have an amazing cruise, you’ll love it!
I’m going on it❤
I always bypass this ship because it is so small and I am apprehensive about the rocking with it size.
We love this size, of course weather is always a factor but it was minimal rocking on our cruise.
Does this cruise have a kid splash area ?
Yes it does, it’s not super big but a good area for kids.
no movie on the deck but they could do it in a theatre
On July eighth
