Review summary

Well I have taken Carnival in the past, seems like they are declining. Overall experience was ok. Not many activities, dinner was the worst. I opted for freestyle dining. The wait was 1 hour daily. Am not sure if I would return or sail with carnival again.

I seem to be one of few that never experienced problem on a Carnaival Ship. Amazing as I have extremely high standards and known to be a complainer in most cases. I never mince words but have yet to experience problems as most do on Carnival.

true but to me carnivals main issues is the syrup drinks the service in the buffet i had to go to the pool area to get a soda & they dont bring the drinks to you at the buffet..maybe.if theres no other cruise for the date i need then maybe..everything else on cruise was perfect

@munecamala....Really? I've sailed on Carnival 5 times as well as other cruise lines since 1990. With Carnival, never had a bad cruise. What happened to the reviewer can happen on ANY cruise line or ship! It's not just centered on Carnival. You need to be more open minded other than basing your total experience with a cruise line on only one cruise with them!!

I agree activities are limited on the Paradise compared to other ships but I had a great time. I was never bored. I found dinner to be wonderful. I chose early seating and had amazing service.
