On July 24, 2009, Carnival Elation (Carnival Cruise Line) was photographed docked in San Diego, California, preparing for her next voyage along the Mexican Riviera. The summer light reflected off her bright white hull and signature red, white, and blue funnel as passengers embarked for a week of sunshine and relaxation.

In April 2002, the Elation (Carnival Cruise Line) offered passengers an enchanting voyage along the Mexican Riviera, featuring the picturesque ports of Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas.
