Carnival Elation is a Fantasy class cruise ship owned by Carnival Cruise Lines. She currently sails year round four, five, and seven night cruises to the Western Caribbean out of Mobile, Alabama, which recently replaced the Carnival Fantasy,[1][2] which moved to Charleston, South Carolina.
Elation was the first cruise ship to be equipped with an azipod propulsion system. The pods give Elation better maneuverability compared with her sister ships.
Elation has been retrofitted with part of, but not all the Carnival "Evolutions of Fun" upgrades. The adults-only Serenity area has been installed, but not the Water Works water park.
