MS Elation is a Fantasy class cruise ship owned by Carnival Cruise Lines. She sails on four and five day itineraries to the Bahamas from Port Canaveral, Florida; and on seven day itineraries to the Eastern Caribbean from Miami, Florida. 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.
