Review summary

Our family had a blast on the Carnival Paradise. the only suggestion I have is to have more activities during the day on the days at sea. Most of the shows are after dinner. Meaning unless you like swimming in the pool or laying out in the sun, it tends to get a little boring by the second day at sea. They do have Bingo and little shows like the hairy chest contest and ice carving but those shows combined may take 2 hours of the day. Then you are left with eating and drinking...

With that said...the employees are VERY polite and helpful! The port of call was a blast, the excursions are amazing! I'm not by any means complaining or putting the cruiseline down. I love cruises just wish there were shows during the day...

Thanks!

Love Love Love our dinner staff as well as our housekeepers for our room! Our main guy for our room knew us by name the very first day and every time he saw us he would acknowledge us by name!

wish we had different bed set up but that was my fault when booking. It was weird to have a bed over our heads!
