Then we learned more about the history of the ship and were intrigued enough to book a brief getaway. After relocating several ships to provide shelter for Hurricane Katrina victims, Carnival situated the Elation at its new home port in San Diego, California. The ship now offers 4, 5, and 6-night cruises, which makes Carnival the only cruise line to offer year-round sailings from that port. Carnival already enjoys the distinction of being the largest operator on the West Coast. Lots of travelers are taking advantage of this deal, and they're saying great things. You'll be amazed at everything included in the low price of this cruise including world-class dining, beautiful destinations, award-winning entertainment, and lots more!
