Carnival Elation® Ship Overview

Circle C

It’s the onboard spot where teens ages 12 to 14 go to hang out, meet new friends, and enjoy some pretty awesome activities. Like what? Think dance parties, games, outdoor movies and more, some in the exclusive Circle “C” lounge and others around the ship.

Zumbini

Cruises are great for relaxing unless you’re a kid! Since kids have virtually unlimited energy and you know they definitely bring it with them on vacation your Carnival cruise will get your kids moving and developing with Zumbini, created by Zumba & BabyFirst. On every sailing, kids 2–5 years old will enjoy a free 30-minute Zumbini class that brings together the same musical fun that families love on land.

Art & Crafts

Arts and crafts are a fun way to spend an afternoon. To adults, it’s a great way to relax and express their creativity. Your Carnival cruise presents plenty of opportunities for everyone from budding Picassos to master Monets.

Kids' Menus

Kids’ menus, available at most onboard dining venues, feature foods that are delicious enough - and fun enough - to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Cruises can get all the familiar options they love from home, like spaghetti and meatballs, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, mac-n-cheese, peanut butter, and jelly sandwiches, and - yes mom - fresh fruit and veggies.

Seuss-a-Palooza Parade

Stand up and cheer for the Seuss-a-palooza Parade, now streaming down the deck of select Carnival ships. Join characters you love and a flock of your fellow fun followers as you become part of the spirited procession of the biggest (and smallest) fans on this side of shore. This parade spreads the fun, so go spread the news and to think that you’ll do it on your Carnival cruise!

Night Owls

Think back as a kid, was there anything better than times you got to stay up late. Carnival has the perfect thing for you AND for your kids, and it’s called “Night Owls”! For a nominal fee, kids 11 and under can fun it up with others their age until as late as 1 a.m.

Camp Ocean

At Camp, Ocean kids will have a blast in supervised, age-based groups and give each a cool marine-life label: Penguins (2 to 5 years), Stingrays (6 to 8 years) and Sharks (9 to 11 years).

Club O2

At Club O2. Hang out doing stuff like watching movies, listening to music from this decade, playing sports and video games, joining karaoke jam sessions maybe even attending Carnival’s version of prom, all with other high schoolers ages 15 to 17.

Build A Bear Workshop At Sea

A Carnival cruise gives kids plenty of chances to make new friends, but never before quite like this. When kids visit the Build-A-Bear Workshop at Sea, they use their small hands and big creativity to bring a new stuffed friend to life.

Towel Animal Theater
