A Bahamas Friendsgiving Cruise
CARNIVAL ELATION®
Carnival Elation was built to celebrate the muses who inspire the arts. Carnival guests like you can expect this ship to inspire you... to have tons of vacation fun.
Not that Carnival Elation is going to have a hard time convincing you! As you head toward your destination, you'll find plenty of spots to visit for a tasty bite — options like the taco-'n-burrito goodness of BlueIguana Cantina™, the burgers-'n-fries combo of Guy's Burger Joint™, plus all the rotating goodness of Lido Restaurant. (Our suggestion: bring an appetite and try them all!) Carnival Elation also features places to enjoy a drink, from the mystical Alchemy Bar® to the friendly poolside rivals RedFrog Rum Bar® and BlueIguana Tequila Bar™... and don’t forget everybody’s friend, the always-swinging Duke’s Piano Bar.
If being a kid is more your thing, we have plenty of ideas for how to spend your time. Activities that are age-appropriate, supervised — and of course, fun! — are available for the actual kids at one of three youth spaces. Then there's the video arcade... oh, and did we mention the slidey, splashy, squirty Carnival WaterWorks™? We didn't, but we should have, because both of these are fun for all — all ages, that is!
Come cruise and we bet you’ll see, and feel, that this ship is ready to inspire everyone in new ways.

- ✅Are there words more fun to say than “I’m cruising to Bimini!”? The name rolls off the tongue delightfully, for sure… but the whole phrase means you’re in for a beautiful, uniquely chill time in this island chain. The center of the action is Alice Town, though “action” is relative when it comes to these westernmost islands of The Bahamas. The local aesthetics, however, will take your breath away — and fishing, diving and relaxing on a beach are a few of the choice activities for experiencing the naturally azure waters surrounding Bimini, which are great enjoyed from a distance or up-close!
✅Sightseeing, swimming and soaking up the island flavor — it's all yours for the taking on a Carnival cruise to Nassau, Bahamas. Boasting balmy breezes and jumping to a bouncy calypso beat, Nassau promises sizzling fun in the sun. The historic and cultural heart of The Bahamas is one of the world’s most popular cruise destinations — one million travelers board cruises to Nassau every year. Carnival guests come for fine beaches, shopping, water sports, and fun-filled attractions at the Atlantis Resort, connected to Nassau by a bridge to Paradise Island. Throw in a chance to swim with dolphins, or do a little slipping and sliding at a water park, and it's clear what makes Nassau a top spot for cruisers of all ages.
- Shop the straw market for cute and kitschy crafts.
- Pose for the classic ‘dolphin kiss’ during a private island swim with the dolphins.
- Relax on the white sands of a private island.
- Stroll 18th-century colonial streets and climb the sandstone Queen’s Staircase.
✅No port today! It’s a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.
- See 100-year-old gardens at the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens.
- Stroll the Jacksonville Riverwalk for views of the St. Johns.
- Watch for whales from Jacksonville Beach before departing on your Carnival cruise.
