Elation

[JerseyshoreBruce]

How crowded do you think the Elation will be this weekend? Weather might be bad....is there enough to do on this ship if its crappy out?

[SadieN]

Yes. But be prepared for the buffet area to be crowded.

I see you were on the fantasy in 2008... it will be about the same.

The Fantasy got her upgrade right after we sailed her and so does the Elation :( ....first time ever sailing this late.....will it be crowded do you think?

You will definitely see a difference if the weater is bad. We were on the ELATION and on embarkation day it was pouring outside. The buffet was so crowded it was nearly impossible to find a seat. The Fantasy-class ships have a pretty modest space ratio to begin with, so when weather forces the sun worshippers inside, it can get quite tight.

Thanks....i was hoping to hear something else.......still im hoping less familys and more couples to keep the count down.

Dh and I cruised the Elation Jan '12. The weather was bad, but people were still outside. It didn't feel crowed.

We went in early August....lots of families with kids. Could have made the difference.

Kids are in school, so it shouldn't be too crowded. Of course, the buffet lines at embarkation are always crowded. Once you sail away, it will get better. I have never had a problem finding deck chairs on sea days on the elation, as long as you aren't picky about where they are. On the bigger ships, I've had to circle the decks several times, and usually give up on finding a chair!! Bon voyage!

[mzloolue]

I have sailed Elation five times.

Even in really cold stormy weather it did not seem crowded where ever I was.

As for activities, I don't know.

All I need is a good book and a seat where I can see the water and I am content.

I love Elation.:D

Thats good news i was worried being its a smaller ship....though i was on the Fantasy and liked it.

We have an annual October cruise. The largest ship we have sailed was the Triumph. I much prefer the Fantasy and the Elation. Both smaller ships always seemed "less" crowded than the Triumph in any weather.

Most kids are in school and it's too early for fall breakers...I say you have a good chance of less crowds and less youngsters on this one...
