HELP US DECIDE! Carnival Valor or Carnival Elation?

[ashleyshad]

My husband and I are taking our four teenagers (13,15,15,17) on Spring Break - debating on doing the Valor or Elation.

 

Any feedback on either? Thanks in advance!! :)

Valor... Better, bigger ship (conquest class) ... 2.0 upgrades (guys burger and Blue Iguana cantina) and Brand New O2 teen club...

No doubt, Valor!

 

Conquest class (Valor) trumps Fantasy (Elation) any day of the week and twice on Sunday for us. ;)

Valor. Not even close. Valor is six years newer with a lot more features and amenities.

I'd choose the Elation, but I prefer the smaller ships.

I've been on both, but on the Valor before the 2.0 upgrades. However, if we're just comparing the ships and not itineraries, I'd go with the Valor. It's bigger with more things to do. My kids had their first cruise on a Fantasy class ship and loved it any way and I'm taking my entire family (brothers/sisters/spouses/nieces/nephews/Mum) on the Fascination in July but we chose that due to itinerary.

For me, it comes down to ports and the price. But, if you were picking based on the ship, go with the Valor.

Valor in a heartbeat

Valor don't even think of the other other clunker.

Valor, no contest. The only way I would pick Elation is if it's an 8 day to four ports and Valor is a four day to Nassau :p

[evandbob]

I've sailed the Valor 7 times. Don't think I've been on the Elation.

 

Nuff said?

Valor :)

Just do both!!!

If slides are important, choose Valor. Elation's slide goes into the (crowded) Lido pool.

Those were my top choices, as well. We went with the Valor after reading all of these responses!

I did the 5 night back in May on the Elation....HMC is awesome and we had a blast on the Elation

While I like the Fantasy class of ships, I would go with the Valor - layout of the Conquest class is similar to the Destiny which we actually prefer more

Fresh off the Elation and will never go on it again (unless my wife wants to) I would book the Valor if you have not already
