This old ship is actually my favorite ship! We are sailing her again in December when she's all decked out for Christmas. The new super mega ships are far too crowded for my taste, and this old girl just brings back so many great Fantasy class memories!

@@d28picker yes! The older and smaller ships are much easier to navigate and you get to know people much easier… lots of fun!

This class even though it is older seems to be kept up nicely and is one of our favorite ships. The mega liners like Icon are just so so big and crowded and so expensive. My group spend the cruise on the Icon lost and waiting in lines, not a very fun getaway. Just 1 thing left to do, book a cruise on Elation.

I was on the Elation back in January and will be back on there in October for my birthday. Elation is one of my favorite ships. 5-day cruises are more my jam. I love smaller ships, and 5 days on a ship is enough for me, usually, thought there are exceptions. Im going on an 8-day ABC (Southern Caribbean) cruise next May on the Magic. I'm a solo cruiser and enjoy cruising by myself. I always make friends on the ship, but i enjoy a private cabin as well. Cant wait to get back on the Elation in October!

Thank you! We embark this Saturday (8/10/24) for our anniversary AND my birthday. My husband’s never been & it’s been so long for me that the Elation looks HUGE - so I don’t care so much that it’s classified as ‘small’. Looking forward! And thanks again! 😊

Thanks for the great tour, my family has cruised on the sister ship, the Paradise, three times and after watching your video we decided to make the drive to Jacksonville to try the Elation. We just got off the Icon of the Seas and enjoyed the relaxing experience on these smaller Fantasy class ships more than the over crowded and super long lines on the Icon. Try getting a beach chair on the Icon, good luck.

Completely agree, my group of 5 needs a vacation after our vacation on Icon. We spent the entire time lost and waiting in so very long lines. Beautiful ship Icon but these smaller ships are more our speed. And the cost is so so much less, much better value on the Elation.
