Review summary

I was with a group of 7 people and although we made some great memories, nothing is memorable about the Carnival Paradise. The food was horrible, i actually NEVER FINISHED a single dinner entrée due to the lack of flavor and presentation. The "chicken a la Greque" was literally a piece of green chicken. NOT appetizing

The crew were on the whole friendly and helpful, our cabin steward was THE BEST. Thank you Libertad for your exemplary service. But, unfortunately, one great crew member cant make up for an outdated, beat up ship with lousy food.

DottieDiehl you will get pretty much the same from the dining room to the Lido deck.

I thought the food on the Paradise was good. I never didn't finish a meal and had more than my fair share from the Lido buffet.

There's not too much choice for what ships can get under the skyway bridge and they are not ordering a new small ship just for you so be thankful Tampa has a cruise port cuz I don't think it's forever ! Try celebrity ! It maybe more up your alley !
