Carnival Elation's Highlights

The design of the Carnival Elation is a celebration of the muses who inspire the arts, and the ship will inspire you... to have fun!

Carnival Elation won't have a hard time convincing you, either. There are plenty of spots for a drink, from the laid back Gatsby's bar to the jumping Jekyll and Hyde Dance Club to the always-swinging Duke's Piano Bar. There are places for a tasty bite as well, with from Tiffany's on Lido Deck to one of two grand dining rooms, and even the Musical Cafe.

If being a kid is more your thing, we have plenty for you to do. Age-appropriate, supervised activities are available from one of three youth spaces, there's the video arcade... oh, and did we mention waterslides? We didn't, but we should have, because they're fun.
