Carnival Elation is a Fantasy class cruise ship owned by Carnival Cruise Lines. She sails on four and five day itineraries to Baja, Mexico from San Diego, California. Beginning in February 2009, the Elation began making stops at Avalon on Catalina Island with her first visit on February 16, 2009. The vessel is the first to home-port in year-round. She was the first Carnival ship (and the first cruise ship in general) to be equipped with an azipod propulsion system. The pods give the Elation better maneuverability compared with her sister ships. On September 17th, 2009, Carnival Cruise Lines announced that the Elation will be deployed to Mobile, Alabama to operate four- and five-day western Caribbean cruises beginning in May 2010, replacing the Carnival Fantasy.[1]
