Elation

The name of this Fantasy-class ship is a promise that is always kept. The decor, superb meals, lavish entertainment, large and friendly casino, and the nightlife along the ship-long promenade, Elation's Way, will certainly elate you. To add to the exhilaration, you'll sail from San Diego and visit the most popular spots in Baja.  

The Elation has miles of deck for sunning and strolling, plus a huge outdoor entertainment area with three pools, six whirlpools and a spiral waterslide.  Moreover, she offers you all the casino action and lavish entertainment of Las Vegas and the kind of spa facilities you'd find at Palm Springs resorts. But this is a resort that takes you in style along the magnificent coast of Mexico. While you dine and dance or dream the night away, the Elation sails to the popular resort areas of Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. Once there she is the grand resort that awaits your return from water sports, duty-free shopping and sightseeing.

Entertainment

How Will You Spend Your Evenings?

It's up to you. Carnival ships boast some of the largest showrooms and best entertainment at sea. If you want excitement, you'll find it everywhere. There are lounges, bars and clubs to suit every taste.


During your cruise, no two shows are the same. So when the curtain goes up on one or our lavish Las Vegas-style extravaganzas, you'll want to be there. Later, stop in at the dance bar or meet new-found friends at the Sing-A-Long Piano Bar.


The overwhelming positive response from our guests was instrumental in encouraging us to add Las Vegas-style revues to the entertainment programs of all of our "Fun Ship" SuperLiners.


Other options in entertainment include a wide variety of singers, comedians, bands and musicians performing either out on deck or in one of the many clubs and lounges.

  • The Mikado Lounge - Multitiered Main Show Lounge
  • Duke's - Piano Bar
  • Casablanca Casino - Large Casino with nonstop action
