Does Carnival Elation have shuffle board?? What are the activities onboard??
Answer :
I was on the Elation last year and to tell you the truth I don't know, I never saw any but I did not go up on the deck areas where you would probably find it. (Top decks where the jogging track is) Of course the real reason I didn't was because there is so much more to do. On the Lido deck they will have live music as well as a variety of contests and activities, they also have basketball tournaments, trivia contests, various gambling tournaments, Vegas style shows, comedians, bars with live music and karaoke, as well as pools, hot tubs, and the spa for just lounging around. And of course there is always the food. 24/7 from buffet to five star restaurants and the best part is the food is included. I am sure you will find plenty to do even if there is no shuffleboard.
Answer :
go on to carnival.com and chose your ship. it should tell you ever thing you want to know about your boat and the activities
Answer :
I really don't know. But I wish someone would answer because that would be key information.

Anyone been to the 5 Day Carnival Elation cruise to Cabo San Lucas?
I am planning on booking a 5 day cruise trip with my family (there are 3 adults and 2 little kids). This is the first time my family will be cruising and I would love to get some information -
1. Is the Carnival Elation ship clean and beautiful? I heard it had been through some remodelling but not certain.
2. How is the food? I heard we have to pay for drinks, even Soda.Can we carry food stuff with us?
3 We are contemplating between either taking 2 Oceanview cabins or one Suite that sleeps 5.
4. When booking the rooms, is there anything I should keep in mind. As to location in the ship - Center/or to the end, close to any specific area, any specific floor.
5. There is an option between 2 different cruises - one of them goes for a day in Ensenada and a day in cabo. While the other goes straight for 2 days in Cabo. Any suggestions on what is better?
6. Any other tips?
Your input is much appreciated.
Answer :
I have been on two Carnival Elation cruises these past couple years and i am actually going on my third one in a few days(:
1. It is a great ship. It is very clean and tidy, there are plenty of people to help keep it looking clean and fresh all day long.
2. The food is amazing. There is a buffet for breakfast and lunch which has just about any food imaginable. There is also a sushi bar open in the evenings which serves excellent sushi. For dinner you have the cohoice of going to the restaurant. It is a very nice sit down restaurant which obviously costs nothing since you have paid for everything in advance. There are always new interesting things on the menu and they serve you a great three course meal. You don't have to pay for drinks except soda. If you really can't live without soda for a few days then I suggest you purchase a fountain card which allows you to get unlimited soda. But from my experience it isn't really necessary. There is plenty to drink (water, juice, tea, coffee, hot cocoa, etc.)
3. The cabins are very small and tight. There really isn't much room. Its basically one room that contains a couple beds with pull out beds and then a tiny bathroom. But then again it really doesn't matter because the only time you will really spend in your cabin is at night when you are going to sleep. So I would pick the cheapest one.
4. I would try to get a room as close to the top of the boat as possible. Because if you get a room at the bottom of the boat you are going to be either walking up a ton of stairs or waisting your time in slow overcrowded elevators.
5. I went on noth of these cruises. The one that goes to ensenada and cabo is fun but the one that stays in cabo for two days is even more fun. Honestly, there really isn't much to do in ensanada except shop for cheap crap and walk around and do nothing. Ensenada is a bit sketchy too. You have to be careful. Its pretty dirty too. I don't think the kids would enjoy it as much as cabo. In Cabo, you have amazing beaches with warm water and there are so many things you can do in cabo (surfing, snorkeling, boat tours, jet skiing, parasailing, etc) You would have plenty more fun in Cabo than ensenada. But other than that, both cruises are the same. Same boat and activities, just different locations.
6. You are realy going to have a blast. The elations cruises are so much fun! I have always had a great experience on these cruises. You meet tons of cool people and there is always stuff to do. The staff is great and friendly and its just alot of fun! I suggest you look at your itinerary that you get every day in your room because it tells you all the activities and fun things going on throughout the day. And as dorky as some of the activities sound, just do them! you won't regret it! (karaeoke, scavenger hunts, water balloon toss, dancing, etc.) Oh, and the shows are really great too(;
Hope you and your family has an amazing time! If you have any other questions just let me know(:

Is Carnival Cruise doing the right thing with Elation?
Realizing what a waste of time and fuel it is to travel 777 miles one way to Cabo San Lucas from San Diego for less than 8 hours shore time, Carnival is discontinuing it. Starting in February, it's either San Diego to Ensenda and return or San Diego/Catalina/Ensenada and return. Are they making a mistake and why?
Answer :
Cruise lines do not change their routes and itineraries without very careful costing and profit examination. Perhaps the port charges have changed or they have calculated that there is more financial return in changing the route.
The line has to have passengers spending money on their ships and have probably decided that the passenger market is no longer there for that route, hence the change.
Answer :
maybe they are not making the kind of money they want to considering the fuel prices and such.
have a nice day
