We started out in Your Time Dining but found the wait time unacceptable and later switched to late seating traditional. I do like the breads left on the table for YTD.

The first full day was a sea which brought SeaDay Brunch. SeaDay Brunch is fleet wide on Carnival so all ships have.

Before 11am the bread basket is full of assorted breakfast breads but after 11am switches to delicious popovers. Except on Carnival Breeze a few weeks earlier where they were terrible - seriously overdone.

[The pizzeria on Elation is called Pizza Pirate, but is still the old style pizza. I very much prefer the new pizza on other Carnival ships, but do like that calzones and goat cheese pizza are still available on Elation.

But I was in the mood for a little breakfast, so made a bacon sandwich (Oink!), some potatoes, and some sausages. Note that bacon police or no, you can have as much bacon as you want.
