Carnival Elation completed a major refurbishment at Grand Bahama Shipyard that added WaterWorks, Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, RedFrog Rum Bar, BlueIguana Tequila Bar and Camp Ocean. The project added 38 staterooms, installed balconies on 98 existing accommodations and relocated the miniature-golf course. The ship temporarily departed the yard before completion to avoid Hurricane Irma and subsequently returned to finish the project.
