Review summary

Very nice smaller ship! lots of food and drink options, plenty of activities. An old school vibe (which is a good thing). Big enough, without being overwhelming.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The Paradise is an older ship, but was recently refurbished. It looked great. It is also a smaller ship which made it quick and easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was nice sized. Had a small sitting area and balcony. Worth the price. The cabin was always clean and comfortable.

Ship tip

This is not a mega ship. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but for a 4 or 5 day cruise, there is more than enough to keep you busy.
