Review summary

Overall a nice vacation with friends and family. Not my favorite ship out of the ones I've been on.

Ship tip

There may not be a whole lot of activities , and it's a confusing ship to navigate your way through.

We booked an excursion to take us to an all inclusive resort / beach day. It was very unorganized and the beach was not very nice. It was also an hour travel time each way , which we didn't know upon booking.

Took a taxi to Mambo Beach. Very nice beach and about 15 minutes drive from the port.

Beautiful area. Went on the Dushi Snorkel with Lunch excursion. Awesome experience! Our guides were so sweet and fun. The water was beautiful and we saw really pretty fish and coral. We saw sea turtles from the boat but not while we were in the water.

I liked Paradise. The layout of the ship was not so confusing. We were just on the Conquest and after 6 days we still got off on the wrong elevators. It needs a face-lift and a new entertainment staff. They were clearly just going through the motions. The Paradise had very friendly staff funny and very involved. For example, we had to Tender one day and there was a wedding. The cruise director and the entertainment director was on the tender with everyone. They never spoke to whole ride stayed on their phones and when it was time to get up they told the handicap ppl to stay seated so the wedding party could get off. I was appalled. The tender staff asked them to move down and they just sat at the edge and let ppl climb over them. This one was of many issues. I posted some stuff in the reviews for this boat. Please don't hv high expectations and you will be fine. Plus there had to be 20 medical issues on this boat.

Great time.

Nice ship but do not like some changes Carnival has made.

Loved the ship, loved the crew, loved, loved it all!
