Carnival Elation

Given that Elation was built 20 years ago, it is noticeably smaller than the larger-than-life ships being built today. But that is not necessarily a bad thing. This ship is large enough that it doesn't feel crowded, yet small enough that passengers won't get lost trying to find the dining room or theatre. During a short stint in dry dock in 2017, Elation received several Fun Ship 2.0 upgrades that give it a newer feel, including new restaurant, bar and entertainment options.
