Carnival Elation will return to service from its home port at Jacksonville on Friday after an extensive dry dock that was interrupted (and lengthened) by Hurricane Irma. (Carnival Fantasy has been operating Carnival Elation's cruises since the end of last month, while Elation returned to dry dock to have the work completed.)
Unlike on many of the Fantasy-class ships, the work on Carnival Elation was more than just cosmetic. Carnival added 38 new staterooms and added balconies to 98 existing staterooms.
The complete story appeared in the October 4 edition of Cruise News Daily.
