Carnival Paradise
Sail date: December 22, 2011
Our overall impression of the ship was good. First cruise we had been on since 2005 so it was interesting to see how things have changed or not changed as the case may be. Ship needs a make over as the decor is really becoming dated. Carnival has become much more informal in our opinion with respect to what is acceptable attire while on a cruise ship most noted in the formal dinning room. They have also become very lax with respect to intoxicated guests. We observed a number of individuals over the four days that really had to much to drink but they kept getting served. Would have like to have seen a bit more of the ships activities geared towards the holiday rather than just keeping the same itinerary. The CD and ACD were great.
