Elation Carnival

[Valentinecruiser]

HI! Just returned from the Elation out of Galveston.

 

You've got questions???

 

I'll try to give you answers!!! :)

 

Will write a review after I get over my terrible case

of CRUISE LAG. ;)

[workroombee]

How was the weather? Did you notice any of the 'rocking and rolling' of the ship that a couple of other recent cruisers mentioned? What deck was your room on?

We sail on Sunday! Excitedly looking forward to your review!

[Cowgirl_Cruiser]

We are going on the Sunday cruise as well!! Hope it's not raining!

 

 

What did you do in port? How cold is it on deck leaving Galveston??

 

Thanks,

 

Can't wait to read your review !!

i just got back from the elation as well. lots of rocking and rolling the first and second night. after that it was ok. the weather was 50's the first day then it warmed up to 70's and 80's

 

 

you will have a great time

We also just returned from the Elation. It was our first cruise, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised with everything. It was cool in Galveston and even the second day at sea. I wish I had packed some warmer clothes. But, after your first day in Progresso, your weather should be gorgeous. We were in room E212. We noticed a little rocking, but nothing that I would call excessive, again, this is our first cruise, so I may have a bad perception, We really enjoyed everything, except the lobster on the first formal night.

 

I would recommend this cruise. Have a wonderful and safe trip.

The lobster was very very good the first formal night!!!

[karen2cruz]

Fastbysean- where was your cabin? -front of the ship or the verandah deck? Usually mid-ship,aft or lower decks get less motion? Just curious since we are going in October.

How about the temp. in the dining room? Was it cold? I will be on this Sundays sailing and cant wait!!!

[Brymic]

We are just back, too. We were on the upper deck- outside in the middle- it wasn't too bad. We all felt rocked to sleep at night! Walking in heels was a trick some nights, though. I thought the lobster was great - the prime rib was a little over done for my taste. I'm not complaining though- everything else was terrific. I was ready to have fun and the food was not the biggest factor. OK- it was for my teen son who ate pizza all day long!! You will have a blast. Any ??

Hi! I was fine in the dining room but saw MANY people wearing sweaters or jackets, etc.....at least TAKE a sweater or jacket or something that will go over all of your clothing...you'll be safe that way. I actually loaned my extra sweater to a new friend I met on this cruise. She had been FREEZING! The relatives we were with wore a sweater every night.

Hi.....it was rainy and cold in Galveston as we were leaving; was very cool and partly cloudy on SEA DAY (Monday)......HOT HOT HOT and SUNNY SUNNY SUNNY All three port days--Tues, Wed & Thurs..:)..rained & very cold all day Friday. Very chilly on Saturday, but partly sunny. Warm -- about 70 degrees when we arrived in Galveston on Sunday...(by afternoon it was 70, I mean)

 

Will write more in my review......Thanks! Wish I was going with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stldmbfan]

I will be going on the elation on 5/15/05. We are so excited, this will be our second cruise. I too was wondering about the boat rockin. We are on the 4th deck in the middle. How were the shore excursions?:)

The weather in Galveston was rainy & cool. Mon-chilly/partly-cloudy. Tues, Wed Thurs---hot hot hot & sunny sunny sunny!!!! Fri--rain and very cold......joked that we thought it was going to start snowing....Sat..chilly.

 

We hardly noticed we were on a ship at all. The last night, was probably the worst night.......and the only rocking and rolling night.

 

We were MAIN DECK M81. Our relatives were M77 & M73.

We were 3 oceanview cabins in a row-on the right side of the ship. (Portside???)

If you're on the right side of the ship, it's starboard, the left is Port. How to remember that: Port and Left both have 4 letters therefore port goes with left. Right and Starboard don't have 4 letters and they go together.

 

Anyway, that's how I always remember it.
