Review summary

I had not thought I would take another Carnival Cruise after having not such great experiences on previous ones, but I found myself booking one and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The ship was nice & clean, as was the rooms. I had pleasant interaction with the staff, and the food was good. My only negative is this is the first cruise I can say there was groups of not so great people. I heard a big fist fight broke out in the dance club, and various things like that. But outside of that, I would recommend the boat.

So because of a fire you wouldn't recommend it? Crap happens the crew was trained what to do

I wouldn't recommend the boat 1 week ago there was an engine fire and people were evacuated out of their rooms.

Okay, but aren't the 3-4 day cruises generally the "booze cruises" that do attract the less-genteel crowd?

I now know I am getting older, need a ship with less noisy partying. I do miss those days though.

Paradise was awesome for a small ship
