Carnival Paradise
Sail date: November 12, 2016
Didn't receive money owed, very dirty dishes, but nice staff
They never gave us our booking bonus, they combined ours and my mother's spending accounts and the one guest services agent was very rude. The dishes in the Paris Restaurant were so dirty every day, even the napkins looked like they were not washed, just wrapped up around the silverware! The staff (aside from the Russian woman at the guest services desk) was very nice though and the food at the Destiny Dining Room was pretty good most nights.
Grand Cayman Island was a waste of time and really not interesting or pretty, but Cozumel was very nice and the residents were friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend using another tour company other than Carnival, as they are very nice and much less money. The taxi company set up a tour for us and we paid $120 for 5 people for over 3 hours and we got to see the chocolate factory, the shops, had lunch and then the beach. Very nice!
Cruise tips
Carnival Paradise
Be sure to head to the Serenity Lounge in the back, 21 & older only! I also recommend the small cafe near the Leonardo Lounge for their desserts. We got a giant slice of very good chocolate cake for $2.50!
