The MS Elation is a 70,000 ton cruise ship owned by Carnival Cruise Lines. Elation is a Fantasy class vessel and has 7 sister ships. This vessel usually docks at Galveston Island and sails on seven day itineraries through the Caribbean.
Elation differs from six of her sister ships in that she was the first Carnival ship (and the first cruise ship in general) to be equipped with Azipods for propulsion. The pods give the Elation excellent manueverability compared with her sister ships.
The Elation features many dining options. The ship has two main dining rooms located on deck 8 (Atlantic Deck): the Imagination Dining room, located off of the ship's atrium, and the Inspiration Dining Room, which has an entrance staircase on deck nine and an area on deck 8 for access. There are several buffets, Tiffany's Bar and Grill on Deck 10 (Lido Deck) and the outdoor grill on the Lido Deck (food is available there for most of the day). For an additional fee, there is the Musical Cafe on deck 9 (Promenade Deck).
The ship has Vegas style shows late at night by the Elation singers and dancers in the Mikado Lounge (Decks 8 and 9).
