Carnival Cruise Lines
Carnival Elation entered service in 1998 as one of the eight Fantasy-class ships, and Carnival Paradise is her only sister still in the fleet. When she debuted she was the first cruise ship fitted with Azipod propulsion, a pod-mounted electric drive that later became common across the industry. Fleet updates have added venues such as Guy's Burger Joint, the BlueIguana Cantina and the RedFrog Rum Bar.
