The Carnival Elation is one of Carnival’s most esteemed Fantasy class ships with the capacity to fit just over 2000 guests, and 13 decks to enjoy. The Elation currently takes passengers on four and five day cruises to the Western Caribbean, from its starting point of New Orleans, Louisiana. Like its sister ships, Carnival Elation has received an extensive upgrade – and also has the distinction of being the first cruise ship to be equipped with Azipod Propulsion, a state of the art system which aids in maneuverability. The dress code while sailing on Carnival Elation is generally relaxed, with one formal night an option on each cruise.
