A new four- and five-day cruise
option featuring day-long calls at Cabo San Lucas will be added to the
Carnival Elation’s existing schedule from San Diego in July 2009,
complementing the ship’s popular three- and four-day Baja program.
Carnival Elation – which emerged from a multi-million-dollar renovation last
week with a host of new features — will operate the West Coast’s only
three-, four- and five-day schedule, expanding upon the line’s
industry-leading short cruise offerings. Roughly half of the “Fun Ship”
fleet offers voyages of five days or less in length.
On its new schedule, Carnival Elation will operate a year-round series of
four- and five-day cruises for a two-week period followed by another two
weeks of three- and four-day Baja departures.
Four- and Five-Day Cruises to Cabo San Lucas
Beginning July 2, 2009, Carnival Elation’s four-day “long weekend” cruises
will depart Thursdays and visit Cabo San Lucas. Two different five-day
itineraries will also be offered. Five-day cruises departing Saturdays will
feature the industry’s only itinerary that includes two full days in Cabo
San Lucas, providing guests with a unique opportunity to enjoy one of
Mexico’s most spectacular destinations. Five-day cruises departing Mondays
will feature both Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada.
New Departure Days for Three- and Four-Day Cruises
The Carnival Elation’s three- and four-day cruises which currently depart on
Thursdays and Sundays, respectively, will be changed to Fridays (three-day
cruises) and Mondays (four-day cruises) starting with the July 20, 2009,
four-day departure. These new departure dates offer guests an even more
convenient option on these popular short cruise itineraries from San Diego.
The 70,000-ton Carnival Elation – the only cruise ship operating year-round
from San Diego – offers a host of new facilities and features following an
extensive renovation, as part of the line’s product enhancement program for
its eight 70,000-ton Fantasy-class vessels.
Carnival Elation’s refurbishment included the addition of Serenity, an
exclusive adults-only retreat, a new Circle “C” club geared to 12- to
14-year-olds, and expanded Lido-area dining options, including a new
Mongolian Wok custom stir-fry station and an updated deli and dessert
station. The Carnival Ecstasy’s suites were also remodeled and cosmetic
enhancements were made to a variety of shipboard areas.
These features complement the ship’s myriad resort-style amenities,
including 12 lounges and bars, three restaurants, four swimming pools, a
115-foot-long water slide, a 12,000-square-foot health and fitness center,
an Internet café, and ship-wide Wi-Fi access.

Carnival Elation Ship Entertainment
How Will You Spend Your Evenings on Carnival Elation? 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.
