SuzanneH Posted February 20, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Everyone on this board had been so incredibly helpful before we left, now I would like to repay the favor it at all possible. Anyone have questions about the Elation? Ask away, and I will do my very, very best to answer them. THANKS! -Suz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollylew Posted February 20, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2009 What was your itinerary for this cruise? Just curious :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted February 20, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I was on the Elation's 5 night sailing last month and have booked the new 4 night trip in November. Is the formal night the second night, Catalina night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurbanfan Posted February 20, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2009 What was your itinerary for this cruise? Just curious :cool: Well the itinerary is not actually new. It is the same itinerary as the Paradise.......Ensenada and Catalina........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzanneH Posted February 20, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted February 20, 2009 What was your itinerary for this cruise? Just curious :cool: New for the Elation, anyway. Supposed to be: Catalina Island, Ensenada, and then Day at Sea. The Elation crew said this was the first week they have done this schedule. Ours turned out to be a little different, but it worked out well- the day we were supposed to dock at Catalina Island (a tender port) there were high winds and rain, so instead they shifted everything a day and sailed farther south until they found sun for us and we did the day at sea the first day. I was impressed that they didn't just cancel the port, but can only imagine what it did for the tour operators -- having everything shifted to a different day!

Sorry- should have said new to the Elation. Personally I would have preferred to go on the 5 nt to Cabo, but this is what was offered when I had vacation time.

I also have read though that Carnival is not offering the 5 night anymore. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted February 20, 2009 #10 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I really liked the 5 night sailing, but will do the 4 night now as a cheap alternative. Hopefully, they will bring it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more of a bar drinker, myself :p. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a huge line the last night so the prices must have been good! Jen in SoCal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sailed Monarch several times and I am trying Carnival for the first time. Would you provide some general comparisons between the two ships and lines. What is better on one line verses the other. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Debbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlipoo Posted March 2, 2009 #20 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I don't know,but read this thread.http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=928449&highlight=elation What wonderful news!!!!! If Carnival doesn't smarten up real quick and get the Elation back to Cabo, I won't be alone in going to the other line and booking the Radiance. Whoever decided to have the Elation go to Catalina instead of Cabo should be looking for new work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
