U.S. - Pacific, Northwest Cruise Reviews

I thought the cruise was great. The staff were friendly and professional. I have recommended this cruise to many friends and family members.

All in all it was a good cruise. We were on the Paradise and even though we could not disembark in Mexico, we had a great time!

This was the my first cruise. So, I can't compare with any. However, I really had good time, and most relaxing trip I ever had. Stuff are nice, Food are great. Show was very good, especially, comedy for every night was some kind of treat. I had good laught. What's else? Well, over all it waa a very nice trip.

I expected to be a better ship

excellent cabin stewards and waiters in the dining room. Crew worked on keeping the ship clean and tidy. enjoyed the spa steam rooms

The interior design of the ship was horrendously gaudy. They spared no expense with the pink paint and lights. It was very 1960s. The service staff was not very helpful and the buffet was actually bland and they ran out of food often. However, there were some impressive pluses to this cruise. The rooms were a little larger than other cruise lines. The dinner service was outstanding - the meals were very good and the staff and maitre 'd danced and sang every night. It was a lot of fun.

My second time on the Carnival Paradise. It was very clean and accomodating.

Loved the organized way of embarking and disembarking.......painless...and the availability of food on the Lido deck at both times was wonderful and mood elevating. The staff were available, friendly and helpful at all times. The entertainment was appropriate and enjoyed by grandma, 20 yr. old grandson and 10 yr. old graddaughters.

It was very hard to get a good breakfast, how do you screw that up? Dinner was just OK, and on board pizza and buffet was decent.

Just boarding the Carnival cruiser differed from the ordinary ..and being able to browse at the ubiquitous feeding stations, wander forward and aft to events and shows ,,, often as the mood struck, as opposed to planned, reserved, and routed,,,was a welcome vacation from the ordinary.

THE SHIP WAS VERY NICE, I WAS ON THIS SHIP ABOUT 10YEARS AGO, EVERYTHING WAS NICE AND CLEAN, THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD, ALL OF THE ENTERTAINMENT WE ENJOYED.

We had a wonderful time on our 3 day cruise. The boat was lovely, the activities plentiful, the food delicious!! We did have poor service at dinner the first day, but it improved greatly after that. The only problem we had was that smoking was everywhere on the boat. There wasn't any place on the boat to escape to except our room where we weren't surrounded by smoke. There were supposed to be smoke-free areas (but it wasn't enforced) however, those areas very few, so on our day out to sea, we wound up getting alot of second-hand smoke and headaches.

We Have cruised on the Elation many times from different ports. its like our home coming ship. It always is comfortable and we always bring back good memories where ever the ship goes.

Very commercial but well orgainized. Expect to spend more than what you paid for the cruise.

We were very pleased with our cruise vacation. This was our first cruise so we didn't really know what to expect, but we had an enjoyable time. The food was great, the entertainment was great. The variety of things to do on the ship was good. The staff was helpful and friendly. We will definitely be taking another cruise in the future.

This was probably the best Mother's day gift I could possibly give my mother. It was relaxing, calm, and fantastic. I had a great time, going from Jacuzzi, to steam room, and sauna, and my mother just relaxed. She loved it, and I hishly recommend.

The ship was huge, not cramped at all. Plus it was kept clean. There are many places to just sit or stand and relax.

Decorations were overdone, Not the traditional beautiful woods that I like to see on a ship. We did have fun and met some people that were very nice. The food was generally good in the dining room but the buffet was not so good. The service in the stateroom was good and we enjoyed getting room service coffee each morning. The shows were good. I think carnival should have given us a 1/2 price future cruise after having our cruise changed from Mexico to Canada. Because a balcony room on this cruise probably would not equal a balcony room on a rebooked trip for later.

Overall, great! An excellent time to relax by the pool and enjoy a friend or significant other's company. Would not recommend for kids, as there were a lot of drunk partiers on the boat.

The ship was clean, fun and honestly we had a great time!
